Waking up daily, feeling like you can't do it anymore. Feeling like people don't like you, freaking out about things, worrying about friendships and relationships, struggling with trusting and delighting in The Lord, and feeling like you get dragged into certain situations you should not be in.
Sometimes, I wish we do not go through trials, struggles, etc. But I know that if we did not have that, then we would think that we do not need God as much. And then we would never think we needed Him as much as we actually do. If we are a Christian, we will most definitely go through struggles, trials, hardships, etc. And we need to be fine with that, and let God work in our lives. You may say, "Well if I am going to be a Christian and always struggling... Then why would we want to be a Christian?" Well, the answer to that question is... We need God. Because without Him, we would not have every lasting life. But with Christ, we are promised eternity. And we should be glad to go through trials, because during that time we could learn from God and grow closer to Him. It may be hard, but we need to trust Him through it. :)
The reason I bring up this topic, is because I struggle with all this. I constently feel like I am alone in this. But I need to know that, I am not alone in this. It is going on with lots of other people too. This reminder, I know I needed to share because I know I am not the only one that struggles with this stuff. And this comforts me, and I was hoping it would comfort you also. :)
I am so thankful for my family and friends for all their encouragement, prayer, and support during especially this time. I want to thank my parents for everything they do for me. And I want to thank all my friends that are here for me also. One of my friends (you know who you are) I want to thank you a lot for sending me a huge email with Bible verses on it. It REALLY blessed me and I will always remember that my whole life. It really helps me also, because I wrote all the Bible verses you gave me on 3x5 cards and put them all over my room. And it blesses and makes me think of you every time I read them. And it also comforts me reading God's Word.
Anyways, thank you all so much for everything. Even the things you may have done for me and you think that you did something little... I want you to know, that it means to me so MUCH! It is no little thing, instead it means everything to me!
I pray that what I have shared... If any of you guys struggle with this, I hope it encouraged you as much as it does me. :)
Have a blessed night!
