At the lowest times of my life ...God kept me safe from myself, from others, from satan... becasue He had plans for my life. I went through all the bad things in my life to be the person I am now. I am a witness to others. I work with teen youth and can actually tell them I HAVE BEEN THERE.. there's nothing they can say.. do.. have done, did, doing,, thats shocks me or that I havn'e done myself.. and they know that.. but they see the person I am now and that my walk with Christ is strong and I am a leader for them. Times still get rough.. but my faith gets me through and He is the first one I call upon.
Lord Jesus, I pray for everyone on here that is hurting. That needs your forgivness. That needs your salvation. I ask that you hear the prayers lifted to you for those in need. For those in pain. For those who are lonely and hurting. Be with them Lord and comfort them. Show them your everlasting love and that it will never fail. That You are the ONE TRUE GOD, and that YOU will never abandon them.
amen and amen.

yes - at first - but over time as things evolved they all ended up right back. everyone is going through struggles, and so sometimes it's difficult for others - including ourselves - to be able to give enough to make everyone happy.
But, as you already know, God will never leave you or forsake you - and that is what gets you through those tough times you described - because remember it's in times of difficulty and loneliness when people tend to turn to God - who is always there, waiting (Knock and the door shall be opened, Seek and you shall find...") and ready with arms open.
A great section of the Bible for you to read would be the Book of Psalms. Much was written by King David - who after slaying Goliath as a boy for the King found himself hunted by him for many, many years (out of jealousy) - and all David was trying to do was please God, follow his laws etc. After much time on the run - lonely and feeling abandoned like you, David eventually became King of Israel - and YHVH made a covenant with him and his Throne, which eventually brought the Master Yeshua Messiah, Jesus, into this world. The Psalms are full of strength and wisdom for the questions you asked, as David asked them too.
Also notice most of the prophets and apostles suffered in this way, and felt the same way you're feeling, and if you read the New Testament you will see this - and also see the answers that came from the Master and God.
I will most definitely say a prayer - a most worthy one indeed.
God Bless You!

When we fall down we tend to fall by ourselves. And, the only one that we can turn to is God because he will eternally be there for us. Whenever I fall down and it seems that there is no one around, I look up and I ask that God shelter's me as much as he thinks is necessary. And I just keep trekking forward and say over and over again " the greater will be better than the former"... I also know from experience that to be alone during when we hurt, can be a blessing because when all is said and done. We actually reap benefits from times of darkness and we build resistance and strength and become closer to our Lord.........which to me is the best thing in this world. But a prayer chain is a wonderful idea I will pray for our country to start being more supportive to those who truly need it. We will know when it has finally worked when we read in the newspapers " Psychiatrist helps Homeless for FREE. " instead of " psychiatrist offers therapy to Paris Hilton's dog" Joke! but you know what I am saying.....
good question

Tara - thank you for this posting. I will join you in this prayer chain, and anyone that doesn't care about it, or doesn't believe doesn't have to join. But don't disrespect it either. I know exactly how you feel.I am a very positive person, I try my best to be there for everyone when things are bad for them, but I'm going through some real struggles right now and when I finally break down and mention it to someone who has ASKED repeatedly what's wrong... they shut me out. I'm extremely independent and proud so for me to even mention my problems is out of character. I feel like everyone needs me to be there for them but can't do the same at all. I love the prayer chain idea Tara, thanks...NOw When?

When my mother was hospitalized I found myself homeless at 14 even though I had family members. they didn't want to be "bothered" But Thanks be to God He will never leave us or forsake us! Its really beneficial too because if we weren't in a position that we needed God we would never find out how good he is .The people that think they don't need God and can handle everything on they're own are totally deceived and we need to pray for them also that they're eyes would be opened and they would repent of their pride

it is very true. I have seen peoples best friend stab them in the back. Even family members hurting each other. People will let you down sometimes, but God wont. It may seem like he does, but he has a bigger plan for you. One you wont be able to comprehend

It's always at the bad times when things seem to go worse. The people may be avoiding you because they do not want to bother you when they know that you are dealing with bad things. try stopping over and chatting with your friends and relatives. if there is negative feelings, someone needs to break the tension, why not let it be you?

i've felt that way before and at the time it hurt but looking back i see that the ones that cared were still there, i just couldn't see them from where my mind had put me. there's a poem i once read called footsteps. basically it was the footsteps left in the sand of a man's life. through all of it there was another set besides his, that of god's, but at the hard parts of his life there was only one set. when he asked god where he was at this time when he needed him god replied that when things were good he walked beside him and when things were bad he carried him.

God has abandoned you too. You'll see. He doesn't even listen to you.
I'm sure your family would not have abandoned you if you hadn't been so screwed up. Quit blaming them and take responsibility for your own mistakes. You have the power to create your own happiness but you're gonna have to work hard for it.
