[SabrinaM]

I ended up cutting myself again. My belief in God comes and goes. In general I feel like he is upset with me and I keep asking for forgiveness. Honestly, I'm fed up with my life. I don't want someone better to come along. I don't want something better to come along either. I want better outcome in my current situations. I wish Valentine's Day wasn't here. I hate the things my family is saying to me. They hate the guy I love now. Like it matters though because we probably won't ever be together again. I have no hope or faith in anything. I only hope to get hit by a car. Sorry if that sounds selfish because it's taking the "easy way out." That's just how I feel. I had enough. My days are getting worse and I don't believe I will get the better outcome that I want. Life isn't fair to me a lot of the time. I've been sitting here in my house, staring out the window for days. I'm going insane. I try to talk to God but is he even listening? I don't know. Sorry if anyone got upset over this.

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I just want to encourage you and let you know God has heard you:

Jesus already paid the price for our past and future mistakes.  God knows we are going to stumble and fall time and time again.  So don’t let the devil steal your joy, peace and faith. Only God is perfect and he doesn’t expect us to be.  If he did, we wouldn’t need him would we?  He didn’t make us to be perfect and yes, sometimes Satan uses people/ family members who are close to you to break you sprit.  His plan of destruction and kayos wouldn’t be as effective if he didn’t.  Just know God loves you unconditional and he hears you crying out to him. God wants you to put your trust in only him and not in your own strength or others. “We all have weaknesses; however, God says your weakness can be your ultimate strengthâ€.    
 

For a long time I felt the same way about God until I got to know him better and learn how to trust in only him.  Sister, as it is written, “He will never leave you or forsake you,
 

When we make mistakes after receiving Jesus and yes, we are going to fall short, He gave us a way out of condemnation through confession and repentance.  Guilt and condemnation is one of the ways the enemy tries to separate us from God.  Keep in mind, there are always people that are far worse off than you.  Second, “If you have prayed about something and you haven’t seen an answer yet, remember that prayer is not telling God what to do but telling God what you want him to do for youâ€. Be patient and wait on his answer, God may not answer our prayers when we feel it’s time for him to, but he is always on time. Last, resist the temptation to not pray regardless of how we feel.  Prayer is an unforeseen power that has/will change lives, circumstances, gives you protection for the unseen and most important provides a profound closeness with our heavenly Father.  I pray this encouragement will ease your pain and allow you to receive the blessings God has in stored for you. 

Father, I come before you to intercede for my hurting sister.  I ask for you to place her in your loving arms and shield her with your protection.  Comfort her and let her know you are with her in Jesus name.  Father, show her and guide her in your righteousness.  Open up doors to people who will guide her to your will.  Cover her father with your grace and mercy.  Give her peace and strength to with stand the sneers of the enemy.  Give her wisdom, prosperity, happiness.  Help her get to know you better Father.  Give her rest in the troubling times. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Hey Sabrina, I also want to encourage you and assure you God hears you. He knows your pain. 

I have had some very dark times in my life where often I would cry to God and I wouldn't get an answer. I really want to ENSURE you, He hears you, he hears it all. He's right there hurting with you.

For me, sharing my struggles with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that I trust really helped. I think sometimes when we ask God to answer our prayers, he has already answered us by giving people/opportunities that will help us.

There is a story of a man who asked God to save him from drowning, God sends a boat but he keeps denying it and saying that God himself will save him. And this repeats 2 more times, and still each time he says to them that he believes in God and that God will save him. Eventually he drowns, and when he meets God he asks him, why didnt you save me? God answered, "I did try to save you, 3 times".

Maybe God is already answering your prayers right now, I cannot say for sure because I do not really know your life, but it seems to me that he is asking you to put all your love and affection unto him and him only. See whether people are 'good' or 'bad', they disappoint because we all sin, its in our nature. But GOD, He never changes, He's the same today, tomorrow, and yesterday. 

 or because of these surpassingly great revelations.Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, â€œMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.†Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12.

"My grace is sufficient for you" Paul was begging God to take his "thorn" or what was bothering, away from him but God answered that "My Grace is sufficient for you". Jesus already suffered for you Sabrina. He suffered more than you, me or anyone can imagine. Just so we could get to know God and have eternal life. That is His grace, and my prayer for you is that you would receive his grace and believe that Jesus is sufficient. Jesus is more than enough for you. I will be praying for you sister. 

Father God, please bring rest to Sabrina, she is hurting Lord. I know you hear our cries to you. Please bring peace. Father I also pray you will reveal a little more of yourself to her. I pray that she would come to you longing for ONLY you, no other name. Cuz' Lord, you are the one that satifies. You are the one that is WORTHY of ALL our praise, effort, and love. Thank you for my sister, thank you for her courage to be able to share her hardships. May you bring loved ones in her life and use that to show that You are there and that You are at work. Thank you for everything you've done for us. Thank you that we could live another day. And thank you for the cross. I pray in the MIGHTY name of Jesus, Amen!!

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
