The Bible sheds LIGHT on God’s plans and how to walk your path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:130
The Bible is a MIRROR. You see your hidden motives and what needs to change in your attitude and behavior. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. James 1:23-24
The Bible is FOOD. If you read it and do what it says, you’ve eaten it. If you eat it, you grow to become a person of integrity, insight, and enduring courage. Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:4
The Bible is a WEAPON. The truth in the Bible destroys misconceptions you believe about yourself, how life has treated you, and how to find happiness. For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.' Ps 46:1
'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' Phil 4:1
'Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.' Phil 4:6
'All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.' Matt 21:22
'Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening.' Eccl 11: 6
'It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and sing praises to your name, O Most High.' Ps 92:1

The Fruit of the Spirit - Gal. 5:22-23
Gal. 5:22-23 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Now, quick, without looking, how many fruit are there of the Spirit? Take a guess and then count to see if you got it right. Did you get it right? Did you get nine? If you did, you're wrong because there is only ONE fruit of the Spirit, that's right, just one. In Greek the word for "fruit" is "karpos" and it is in the singular. So, to translate this a little loosely, it could read like this. "But the single fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control..." This means that all of these graces listed are one group that go together as a unit.

My sister what are you feeling downed about. If you are feeling downed about whatever reason, don't worry be happy, rejoice in life and think about all the beautiful things that the Lord has blessed you with. I mean I know sometimes when someone is downed and can't bear or deal with life, your spirit gets down and does not want to move. However, don't allow the devil to trample you down. Sometimes when a person is down they need the Lord to uplift their souls and allow for Jesus Christs spirit to enter your heart my sister. Sometimes our problems are within our own selves and it's up to you if you want to be helped. In your case I see that you want to be helped and you want to be directed, that's what people in Christ are here to do. Think about all the good and positive things that you have accomplished and allow that to motivate you and uplift your spirit. Seek a church around your neiborhood and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and he shall direct you until you get baptized and the God reveals to you all. Wait a little while and your troubles shall be no more, but until then place all your trust, might, mind, body, heart and soul in Christ and he shall direct your way. Do not be lead astray by your own understanding and your own desires. first seek the temple of God and he shall direct your way.
God Bless You my Sister.
Believe and and have faith the God is the life the truth and the way. Remember just have faith and the lord will see you out of your distresses.
Also read, Ecclesiastes 11:7-10,
Light is sweet and it pleases the eyes to the sun. However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is meaningless. Be ahppy, young woman, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgement. So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigorare meaningless.
God bless you again hope you enjoyed reading this because the spirit of the Lord lead me to read this Scripture and I hope in Jesus name that you are enlightened by these words of power.

PSALM 37:9-11
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
REVELATION 21:4
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
ISAIAH 33:24
"And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."
ISAIAH 35:5-6
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."
Soon, our loving Creator will fulfill all these promises and many more.

You will find what you need in "proverbs", it's all about quotes.
And remember God doesn't make junk so cheer up. No mater what or who you are, YOU are a child of God. The Bible tells us to feel bad about ourselves is the same as feeling bad about God for we were made in his image. Good Luck and please smile you maybe surprised at how much smiling will do to lift ones spirits. And your never lost. I know we feel like it from time to time, but God ALWAYS knows where you are, so just ask and he'll show you the way home. :)

Romans 12:12 - "Be Joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer"
ECCLESIASTES 3
1 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6 A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7 A time to tear and a time to mend; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What advantage has the worker from his toil?
10 I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about.
11 He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men's ever discovering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.
12 I recognized that there is nothing better than to be glad and to do well during life.
13 For every man, moreover, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a gift of God.
14 I recognized that whatever God does will endure forever; there is no adding to it, or taking from it. Thus has God done that he may be revered.
15 1 What now is has already been; what is to be, already is; and God restores what would otherwise be displaced.
16 And still under the sun in the judgment place I saw wickedness, and in the seat of justice, iniquity.
17 And I said to myself, both the just and the wicked God will judge, since there is a time for every affair and on every work a judgment.
18 I said to myself: As for the children of men, it is God's way of testing them and of showing that they are in themselves like beasts.
19 For the lot of man and of beast is one lot; the one dies as well as the other. Both have the same life-breath, and man has no advantage over the beast; but all is vanity.
20 Both go to the same place; both were made from the dust, and to the dust they both return.
21 Who knows if the life-breath of the children of men goes upward and the life-breath of beasts goes earthward?
22 And I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to rejoice in his work; for this is his lot. Who will let him see what is to come after him?

This should inspire any woman who would stand by her man:
Deut. 25:11-12
“When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand without pity."
