As I was growing up, I have faced number of challenges that drove me toward edge. They were mostly psychological challenges. First it was severe depression which literally made me endure extreme anxieties, depressions, panic attack, ADD as well as loneliness.
I fought on believing it is unfortunate part of life and hoping that life will get better. During those mentally turbulous times, I always maintained personal conviction which is to stay away from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex. I could easily have turned to one of those for improving my feelings but I never did.
Now as if I haven't suffered enough, I am having to endure lust problem which has given me as much pains as severe depression if not worse. And I haven't even overcome my depression yet.
Today, I looked up sky and said to myself, "The Heaven must be against me. There is no reason anyone deserves to go through things like this. Is this how my life is supposed to be after all I have tried?"
Can anyone offer me insights?

Here is the thing. Heaven is not against you, just the devil wants you really bad. You have stayed away from drugs, alcohol, tobacco and sex, so you become a perfect target for him. He'll drive you to the edge, all in hopes of you breaking down and giving in to any of these addictions. Everyone else who might think that their lifes are fine, MIGHT be due to the fact that they are already in his (the devil) grasp. So you are doing pretty well in the face of these tests.

Hello I read your question and was about to cry. No; heaven is not against you. You have to be leave in your self your not the only one who suffers.I'm only 14 years old and suffer from things like not remembering important dates and forgetting a whole lot, like if my mother tells me to o something 100% of the time I forget and do the opposite. Do you have any ideas on how I could try to remember things more?

I'm very sorry about what has happened to you. But we all deserve death. The only way we can feel happy and the only way we can have eternal life is through Jesus Christ. Do not give in to these temptations! It is the devil trying to manipulate you to turn away from God! Be faithful to the Massiah and Cling to Him and all will be fine.

The Bible would not say lots approximately angels. yet they have been witness while God created the worldwide. Lucifer grew to become right into a severe (if no longer the optimal) score angel. while Lucifer and a 0.33 of all the angels rebelled against God, God did no longer furnish a approach of salvation for them.

How can I know my mind?
An alert mind is not a problem; an unaware mind is. The mind projects the future to be fulfilling but misses the beauty of the present. If you are rich, you want to be richer; if you are strong, you want to be stronger; if you are beautiful, you want to be more beautiful. Such a mind does not make you live life but leave life.
Such a mind creates false prayers. You make a ritual out of prayer and pretend to pray. Such prayer becomes an empty gesture.
Why am I so greedy?
There is a visible world and there is an invisible world. There is a visible self and an invisible self. The visible world is a world of diversity and the invisible world is a world of oneness.
If we live on the periphery we will feel incomplete but completeness is one’s nature. This incompleteness wants us to be a complete person. But the only track it knows is greed, wanting more. The enlightened masters give us not a dogma but a device to reach this state of completeness.
We should stop fooling around with life. Just thinking to be happy is not enough; just thinking to be wise is not enough. It is a luxury to think but it is wisdom to live. Ask yourself: Are you concerned with reality or fantasy?
There are two ways to know reality. If you want to know objective reality, then science is the way out. If you want to know subjective reality, turn to spirituality.
Why does one worry in life ?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes around in circles of worry. A creative person is one who, when he encounters a problem, is focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem. Convert the problem into a springboard for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition. So, too, the true healer exists within you. But you have to create the right condition. By looking at the mountain you can’t climb the mountain, you should will yourself to climb the mountain. Optimise this will for you to be above worry.
What should one do to be successful in life?
Ultimately what you need is self-confidence, mental toughness, commitment to excel and the ability to use the power of imagination.
What do you mean by self-confidence?
There are three pillars of self-confidence: Feeling good, taking responsibility and developing skills. There are both healthy ways and unhealthy ways of feeling good. You should develop the discipline to feel good in a healthy way. The quality of one’s life is the quality of one’s consistent feeling. There are techniques that are taught how to hold and maintain consistent feelings of empowerment within you.
How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom. The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but renouncing bondage. When bondage is renounced there is freedom, the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom is not something devoid of order; it is a flowering of order

Yes... The next time you look up at the sky, try talking to God, instead... Obviously, YOU don't have the answers... But, HE does...!
You don't even have to go outside... Just pray and pour out your heart to Him... Sounds like He's been waiting a looooooong time for a heart-to-heart from you...

Life sucks, then you die. Stop whining. Get off the computer and find an organization or person to help. Stop thinking of yourself and give all that angst over to helping other people who can't afford computers.

I am an atheist, and knowing that I am always in control has always made me happy. Perhaps you are depressed because you feel that your life is out of your hands?

You are moving in the right direction when you ask for help. I recommend you seek or continue seeking medical help.find a local unity church,or scientology church and ask for their help. PRAYER works wonders.Offer lust to GOD.HEAVEN AND GOD ARE ALWAYS FOR YOU. YOUR OWN NEGATIVITY and lack of understanding is the problem. GOD LOVES YOU. he never punishes any one,he knows you are his perfect child.
