To put things simply, nothing good has ever happened to me. My mom died when i was ten, i was hit by a car and had my knee and part of my face ripped off(all fixed now), i had trouble with friends for most of my life, i had a drug addiction, i have always had problems with girls, i was diagnosed with cancer when i was 15, and i have lost almost all of my friends to random causes... including the girl i was going to marry... am i alone now? are these things happening because he isn't here? or because he enjoys watching me suffer? I need help here, cause i am falling apart as it is...

Many people suffer through tragedies in life.You are still here because God has a plan for you and that plan is not complete. I assume that is who you are referring to be including "he". Focus on God and His plan before focusing on your own plan. Read "Purpose Driven Life". The book is fairly short and has the potential to open your eyes and mind to possibilities not yet seen.

I admire your courage and your candor. Kudos to you and your steadfastness in claiming your closeness to Him and your constant communication and prayers!
Has He abandoned you, you ask? No way! You ARE here now, alive and kicking... and you're NOT ALONE at all. Have you ever read that prose entitled "Footsteps"? It's a nice piece to read if you ever come across it. Next time you go to the mall, check it out among the Hallmark cards.
Keep the Faith and Peace be with you!

My Dear Friend, I am so very sorry You've taken these things in life as obsticles never overcome. Believe in You, and never once stop believing in God. He has given You these "problems" to make You stronger. Inside every difficulty lies oppurtunity---Albert Einstien. You should be able to over come all obsticles now. You are who You think You are. You are what Your thoughts make You. I gave up after my wrong journey in life led me to the poorhouse...parents' divorce, alcahol/drug use, teen pregnancy, promiscuity, letting others take my kindness as a weakness, But You can't ever give up on God or Yourself. We come into this world alone and die alone. Fear is the devil's best tool along w/ hatred. Most times the hardest road is the key to happiness. I have turned fronm a nice girl to being diagnosed w/ Bi-Polar. Life does throw us for a huge loop most times, but in the Bible it says that If we do not use our God given talents, even the simplest things will keep being taken from us until we believe in our abilities. I just picked up my bible again after aprox. 5 years w/ out opening it, and my whole world is changing. If You surround Yourself W/ good people and good things even if it means being alone for a while God will reward You for Your accomplishments. Pray about everything and never give up on Yourself like I did. It is almost too hard to turn back---believe me! Ask God to lead You in the right direction, pray for inner peace and self-acceptance and open Your Bible for more answers. We are all put here for a reason my Friend. Do not forget that You are just as important to him as I or the Pope or the president. Beliefnet.com helps me as well as long walks, journaling, exercise, & Yoga (non-religion based) has been my life saver. Meditation helps me remember who I was before I closed off my heart to the world. There are many sites but (for all religions) selfrealizationtarot.com has beautiful relaxing, renewing, inspiring & insightful visual meditations to help Your weary soul. Please don't give up on You. The more of us that do, the less of us there are to win the fight! I am just a small town girl, who never fulfilled my dreams. But now that I SEE that I am needed by God to fulfill his purpose ,as we all are, I have a reason other than my boys to get up everyday. God Bless You and OPEN YOUR HEART.....He WILL answer You, I promise. Just be careful what You wish for! Remember he sent his only son here to die for our sins. This means whatever sin we've committed if we ask for forgiveness and mean it, our prayers will be answered. We just have to know all is for a reason. To become stronger. Peace to You and In Your life ~ Jennifer P.S.> We must focus on the smallest accomplishments we've made to begin to heal. This leads to hope, faith and forgiveness; also positive self worth. Also go to thinkrightnow.com It will help You succeed at loving Your life. Spend some time reflecting on what made You happy as a small child ~ and remember.......You are Great! God made You that way. Find God and You will Find the way; I am !!!!! All of this is hard to take when You are so weak, but it's proven that meditation improves brain function and is in the Bible as a form of prayer- connecting with our creator. Everyday our slates are wiped clean when we awake if we ask for forgiveness. You can do it if I can!!!!!

What greater testimony than YOU can give a person about Christ, than your own life.
When you accept Christ and deal with life, the hand it dealt you, you would make such a good person.
YOU are exactly what it takes for a good witness. You have had several tings happen to you. I could sit around and write horror stories about my life also, I choose not to.
I choose to let people know what God has done FOR me, not against me. God has done NOTHING to me. It just happened. God is my way out of the hell hole.
I Thank God for everything He has done for me.
Bad things, sickness, deceases, hurt, comes from hell itself. Not God.
You choose how you want to see it. I choose the Truth.
Good Luck.

NO HE has not abandoned you. JESUS said that HE would never leave you nor forsake you. The Devil is the cause of all of your problems not GOD. Adam let the devil into this CREATION(Earth) when he sinned. Alot of our problems comes from our past relatives sinning. Some of us are born into this EARTH with more XXXX than others to deal with. Alot of it is not our fault but it is our responsibility to over-come it. With-out JESUS in your life, it will be harder to over-come, and with-out JESUS, our end will be in the Lake of Fire. Not to scare you, but TRUTH is TRUTH. Get Born-Again if your not, and start learning your lessons(Christian teaching books and tapes). With-out those books and tapes, I would still be in a HELL of a SHAPE, even though I got Born-Again and was on my way to HEAVEN. JESUS wants us to have a GOOD LIFE here too!!! befor we get to HEAVEN. Get those things, cause for some reason, all of the Churches I went to never did teach me much about Spiritual war-fare.

The fact that you're still breathing is enough evidence to say that He hasn't abandoned you. His Love comes in many small things, just look around and see how beautiful life is. Keep smiling!

I think this is question #2. Question #1 is "have you submitted yourself to Him"? What if (I say, if) circumstances in your life are just opportunities to realise how much you need Him and draw near to Him?
One thing is for sure. If you go to Him, He will not drive you out. Try Him.

Maybe you haven't found God. Maybe you were never looking. You were only expecting for things to turn around on its own by the mere existence of God. Ask Him for help. Repent and get Him to help you.
Turn to Islam and ask for some guidance. See the possibilities.

in simple words, He didnt abandon you
Though we may abandon Him, he will not abandon us
Just be strong with your faith in Christ. anyone who suffers with Christ will receive eternal life. So give your life to Christ.
Let God control your life, and you'll never know.. everything will change, not just the good things that will happen, but also yourself...
You'll never make mistakes with Christ on your side. And remember, you're not alone. Christ is with you, ALWAYS... Ã God bless you

He is you. He is experiencing all the humanity that can be thrown at HIm - as you. What do you think He loves most about being you?
And thus you have access to His power as well. You are the creator of your reality. You are not seperate. You are not 2 beings in one. You are one being. There is no seperation. You have humanity and you have spiritual power.
