[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going to go against the grain of most posters here. The problem is that mass media and as humans we are told to pursue, pursu, pursue goals to achieve happiness. Which is why once you get here you find you are truest not happy or there's something that is missing. It's why a multi-millionaire or successful Hollywood star can overdose on drugs or commit suicide. One cannot look toward people (children, a spouse, friends) to fulfill you in a meaning given full way. That need and hunger and desire for more means that you are spiritually dry and God created that in humans as a way to seek him when you have sought all other things and you feel lost.

Here are some scriptures that might help you: God loves and desires to have a relationship with you. There's no amount of anti-depressant that can fill that void nor exchanging your current family for a new one.

“casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
??I Peter? ?5:7? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/1pe.5.7.nkjv

“When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.”
??Psalms? ?27:10? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/psa.27.10.nkjv

“He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.”
??Psalms? ?147:3? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/psa.147.3.nkjv

“The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
??Jeremiah? ?31:3? ?NKJV??

All religions are not the same, compare for instance Mormonism, Buddhism and Christianity on the critical question of what is real. Mormon scripture teaches that ultimate reality is material or physical and that even God and spirits are material objects whose constituent Matter has existed for all eternity. Mahayana Buddhists believe that ultimate reality is emptiness(sunyata) or beinglessness (nisvabhava) -no gods, no matter, no spirit, no self. Christians believe by contrast that God is an eternal,personal triune Being who created all there is, both physical and no physical from nothing. By any measure these are dramatic differences. Jesus Christ is a radical figure in the history of the great religious traditions in that he is the only leader who claimed to be the one eternal God in the flesh. He knows the beginning from the end and knows the deepest religious yearnings of all people. Which is why he said “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
??Jeremiah? ?29:13? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/jer.29.13.nkjv

Know that God is love and he loves all people. There's nothing you could ever do or say that he won't forgive. “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.”
??Psalms? ?86:5? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/psa.86.5.nkjv

And ““And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”
??Mark? ?11:25? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/mrk.11.25.nkjv

God has already demonstrated his love did us as people in the following ways:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
??John? ?3:16? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/jhn.3.16.nkjv

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
??Romans? ?5:8? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/rom.5.8.nkjv

God sent Jesus to earth for you that you might live and be renewed to find a love and peace that surpasses all understanding. Because what is love?  “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
??I Corinthians? ?13:4-5, 7? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/1co.13.4-5,7.nkjv

I say this and end with this:

“Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.”
??Jude? ?1:2? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/jud.1.2.nkjv

God loves you, won't you seek a relationship with him. He will stand with you in your darkest hour, please seek him with all your heart and you won't regret it. The Bible tells us and we see it in our world today

“Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun: There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, “For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.”
??Ecclesiastes? ?4:4, 7-8? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/ecc.4.4,7-8.nkjv

“He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.”
??Ecclesiastes? ?5:10? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/ecc.5.10.nkjv

“The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.”
??Ecclesiastes? ?5:12? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/ecc.5.12.nkjv

“If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he— for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness. Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man, even if he lives a thousand years twice—but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?”
??Ecclesiastes? ?6:3-6? ?NKJV??
http://bible.com/114/ecc.6.3-6.nkjv

“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
??Matthew? ?11:30? ?NKJV??
