The Lord loves you honey and so do I. If you need someone to talk to and pray with, PLEASE feel free to email me. I'm not some old lady who's wearing a church hat :) I'm only 25 and I'm a teacher. I know kids and what you guys are going though- I see it every day. I would like you to read Psalm 139 in the Old testament of the Bible if you have one. If not here's the link below. I had (am sometimes still have) self esteem issues as a kid and young woman, but this scripture has really helped me see myself in God's eyes.

Sure I will pray for you.
Listen, we are all made a little different then the next person. Don't be so hard on yourself. Recall the story of the "Ugly duckling".... what happens at the end of that story? The ugly duckling is the most beautiful swan of the bunch. You are going through a stage where yes your peers are harsh.. and you want to be liked... nothing wrong with that... just don't be so hard on yourself. In time, how I detest those two words together, you will blossom into the most beautiful young lady in your home town. Think positive.. when you start entertaining how you look and it brings you down, you will be down... don't allow that to come into play here. Think positive.. think about how beautiful you are already, even if you have a few flaws.. you will overcome them. :o) Hang in there, we all have gone through this.. and we have turned out ok! God created a beautiful person in you. Its not what matters on the outside, what matters is what is found on the inside of all peoples. :o)

yes--I said a prayer before starting to answer your request.
What is going on in your body is normal and the changes that are going on don't always affect everyone the same way. Your problem
is very normal among teens--ask an adult to take you to a dermatologist and see if they can prescribe medication or creams
that will help you with your complexion. It may be too that you need to be changing your diet and laying off fried foods, colas, and sweets.There are certain soaps that can be used on your face. Do this soon and I think you will begin to feel better about yourself. If you don't find the support you need at home, talk to a counselor or nurse at school, a minister, or family friend to talk to your parents for you. Good luck --- and keep the prayers going daily. I think you'll get through it just fine-- but do take some steps now to help yourself.

Lord, sometimes we feel like our problems are so trivial, but none of them are when we are in our teen years. And this girl has ask that she not be so self conscious about her appearance. So, Lord, open her eyes to the beauty you have given her in her heart and let her see beyond the skin that ages and weathers and dies away, and see the remarkable glow that comes from within and not just in her, but in her mother's face - let her look up on with new eyes; in the face of her grandmother if she is still living; or a neighbor that she sees everyday. Lord, no greater beauty have you given us than our own clean skin, it's not always easy to accept that this is exactly how you look at us and find us to be the most beautiful, because we look at ourselves compared to the world. But Lord, grant wisdom to this young heart that she will see the beauty that matters and that yes, it is hard being a teen, but it is only for a short time, and the beauty that matters is forever. Amen

Dear Child, You will not be the first in this world to have such a mark. Nor will you be the last one. Dont worry. These are part of the bargain. Take it in your stride.
And, someone might think that it looks very beautiful on your face. Why not? You simply happen not to know that someone, or, may be, more than one. So, wear an attitude of pride. Be cheerful. God wants you to pray to him. Dont look for proxies.

You bet I'll pray for you.
God, I want to lift up Mz. K to you. Help her to see that You created a BEAUTIFUL young lady, and that you didn't make any mistakes. Father, we live in a world that looks on the outside, but You show us that beauty is on the inside. I pray that you would show her your love, and that she would KNOW Your love. And then she could show others Your love. In Your Name I pray. Amen

GOD sees the heart but man sees the outward appearance. GOD is CONCERNED about WHAT YOU ARE THAN what you HAVE or HOW you looks like.
Read this" I have worried about not having a shoe until i see a person with no legs.
Be contended with what you are and thank God for creating so unique way.
