You are not alone in your struggles. God loves you and through these struggles you will get stronger-whatever they may be.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, Standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings." 1 Peter 5:6-9


"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; He is a double minded man, unstable in all he does." James 1:2-7

Hebrews 12:7-12 (New International Version)

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.

  • Dude,

    I feel God telling me to tell you this.

    Just one month ago I was having the exact same feelings as you. You will get through this no matter what it is you are going through, I know this from experience, it will get better.

  • About James, it says if you are lacking wisdom, you can ask for it and he will give it to you if you have no doubt. Does that only apply for wisdom?

  • Praise the lord.........Amen!

  • God is here for you. This is the same God that made the whole earth and all the people in it. He knows your heart and mine, and won't leave you. He knows your problems, what you went through today at school, work, with your parents and friends. It's amazing that a God this big can love us so much. Lean on Him and trust Him with your life.

  • i needed to hear that ! thank you and God bless

  • All you have to do is call out his name and seek him.

    Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

  • Of course he cares! And so do we!

    Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

    Matthew 11:28-30

  • Does it matter? God doesn't care why would any of you?

  • I'm sorry to hear that. What is wrong?

  • I'm so tired of people telling me this! I'm tired of hurting, I'm really not sure if this hell I'm in every day is worth being closer to him.
