I am already 24 yrs old and have yet to reach any kind of success. In fact, my life has been held back by severe depression and lust problem. Despite my conditions and frustrating environment, I tried hard to fight through all that in a hope that life will get better in the future. That is why I stayed away from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex.
Yet, the result is my life didn't get better. I keep struggling as I get older. I have yet to reach any kind of financial success. It seems so depressing and miserable that I wonder why God created me in the first place if my purpose was to suffer like this most of the time.
Does God create everyone for a reason? Why did He even create me if my life is full of sufferings, mental torutures? I try to be patient but I have been suffering for a long time and it is too much for me to keep going like this. No matter how hard I try, my efforts isn't enough. My prayers didn't work, too for some reason.

Yes He has a reason! Jehovah was pleased with Abel’s offering because he was a righteous man of faith. (Hebrews 11:4) On the other hand, as his actions indicated, Cain lacked faith. His works were wicked, marked by jealousy, hatred, and murder. (1 John 3:12) Moreover, he probably gave little more than superficial thought to his offering and merely went through the motions of presenting it. Should not our sacrifices of praise to Jehovah be wholehearted and accompanied by a proper attitude and right conduct?
Ask yourself: what kind of relation I have with my God? Do I think of him only when I'm in trouble? Do I talk to him daily? Why are my prayers unanswered? Is what I asked according to his will? Or is it according to my desire?
This is not to discourage you! There is a lot of people in worst condition than you, that does not mean they are giving it up.

Although it took many years to build the ark, Noah did just what God had commanded. Noah and his family were therefore preserved through the Deluge. Jehovah speaks to us through his written Word and gives direction through his organization. It is to our benefit to listen and obey.

Well I use to ask myself these same questions until I read a book called "The purpose Driven" by Rick Warren. It will help you find your purpose or at least help you understand why God created you. These times even thoughit seems liek it will never stop are trails and when your time to be rewarded comes you will be blessed so many time you will forget the past.

Genesis 1:15-17 "15 And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of E´den to cultivate it and to take care of it. 16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die."

We were created to live on a paridise earth, that is our purpose, to live on a paridise earth and serve god. But Adam and Eve disobeyed and sin entered them.

You weren't born to suffer, Jehovah is love.

Sin and the wicked condition of the world is why you suffer.

you have tried to be patient. how about u be patient, especially with God. because His time is always on time. you are 24, your young, and have a wonderful life ahead of you. all u have to do is keep God 1st and foremost in your life. He made all of us for a specific reason, especially His believers/ followers. the things u have been going through have been struggles. no one said life was going to be easy. remember this, whatever isn't killing you is always making u stronger. and its the truth. obey His word, His law, obey Him period. u look at the negative, but really examine the positive things in your life. you are truely blessed!

No, he created Adam and Eve for a reason. We are merely the result of their actions, or lack thereof. What we are, or will become, we make ourselves. There is nothing in this world to pray for, as this old system will end and a new earth will emerge. One without greed or the desire to collect riches.

Uh... YES! To love him and praise him, because God was lonely before the creation of us. Though it isn't the funnest way, it's what God wants, and he wants for us to do is to spread Jesus's word and of course, love God! Hope that answered your question. Don't fret or go astray of what God gave you, Bud. Have a nice day.

yes. he also said life isn't going to be easy. just think about how even though to you your life may seem worthless there is most likely someone in your life that you have emotionaly touched and made there life better which started a chain reaction so you in the end have most likely helped thousands of people just by helping that one person.!!
