Trials are allowed by God to make you strong. But the longer I stay in this situation(which is not of my own doing) the weaker I feel. I'm so sensitive to any little thing that happens. There just doesn't seem to be a bottom to this situation. Please tell me what I'm supposed to do.

If God brings you to it, he will see you thru it also. Have faith. God does things in HIS time, not ours.

This is a time to find peace only in GOD . This is a good time to read the bible and get the peace that you want. While you are going thur it . You will not like it ,this give you a testimony to helpo other as you go thur it ,I able to tell you this,cause if the struggle I went thur . Physical and Spiritual ,but the reward is so much worth it all . GOD is trying to tell you something ,dont fight it ,ask GOD to direct you in all your ways and you dont want to go another day without him being you point of guidance . The book of Proverbs is a excellent book of wisdom . I try and read it every three months of the year. So ,that is four time out of the year. It put you on your path . Psalms is excellent also ,it show and tells you what GOD will do for you in the time of need and how GOD help David . I hope this helps ,dont give up . Next year this time you will be laugh about what you were going thur because GOD was there all a long .

No. Trials are not what make us strong. Mistakes are. That is why you hear the phrase "trial and error" alot. Trials are the pathways which we CHOOSE, (God gives us the choice),to take. It is much like an experiment. The scientist will test many trials,( in life we take many paths ), and then they make many errors, (in life we make many many mistakes), until they at some point either take that correct trial, (path), which leads them to that error,(mistake), and suddenly the light goes on in their head and BING!! The scientist has the cure,(answer) for a disease,(problem). You must read this very deeply in order to understand it and i hope you do. You see you gain wisdom as you go along the way of the paths. I must also tell you that you don't need to hit bottom to move on to another path. However, in saying this you are in a sticky situation, one not of choice but of circumstance where you are sorta thrown on a path that is always there while going on other paths kinda like hell running straight through heaven. Circumstance at times is a real pain in the rear. I am not sure where in the realm of spirituality it falls or in the path of life. However i do know this we can live and move forward while growing and loving God with circumstance by our side. Perhaps circumstance is that of the world and you know that is out of our hands. Let go and let God................how many times have we heard that. It seems simple enough and with enough work it becomes natural. Bless You! You will get through this i am praying for you. I do understand what you are going through.

Perhaps you need to see if there is a way out of whatever situation it is....since I do not know what the situation is, I cannot even speculate. If it is a home situation and you are of age, perhaps you could move. If it is a boyfriend issue perhaps stop seeing him.. I do not know.
At this point all I can suggest is that you keep talking to God and somehow find yourself some quiet time in a private place and focus more on Him..give God more time and perhaps you will feel stronger. I am sorry I could not help more. God Bless.

If you're ever in a rut in life, obviously talk to God about it. He already knows what problems you're having, but you need to take that step and give yourself to the lord and just ask him to guide you, be with you, help you be strong. If you have a relationship with the lord and are born again, the lord will help you. Remember that the Lord works in mysterious ways, and not right away like we'd like. Like you said, sometimes we go through hard trials in life to teach us or someone around us. Never blaim or doubt the Lord, he loves you. It may seem crappy, but it might be in his will. If you keep faiTh in the Lord and stay strong I feel he will help you when or how he feels the time is right. Either way "passing the tests" will surely make you stronger mentally and spiritually and the Lord will reward you in some way. Just never give up, doubt, or blaim him. I'll pray for you, I don't know what your situation is, but God knows. Just stay strong, this world as we know it now and all the crap we deal with will be gone one day and we'll have eternal life with our father =) . Anytime you feel your life sucks, read about Job in the Bible lol. It could always be worse. God bless.

Without knowing your specific situation, I can only give you general answers. The Bible tells us that our trials produce endurance; endurance produces patience, etc. Having been through trials such as divorce, death of loved ones, persecution on my job, and severe health, I can tell you that staying in God's Word, and praying are the two best answers, But you also need the support of a church body. Or perhaps a Christian Counselor. Don't give up! Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Read the account of Job... This may help you to see that its not God doing (?) to you.
Proverbs 3:5,6 trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him and he himself will make your paths straight.
I'm not trying to be mean when I say that you can Also go to a Doctor and get some help with you being sensitive to everything.People do have chemical imbalances. Depression and many more things that a Doctor could help you with..
I hope all ends up ok .

Some Christians are very sensitive(bless there hearts). creating illusions about trials that are not really happening or that God is doing this to me. Sometimes we create these trials and things by our own making. God wants us to use Wisdom and understanding, you can get through anything when you apply wisdom to your situation. hope this makes sense to you.

Certainly need more info. There is a phrase that I use a lot, "God helps those who help themselves." If we choose to put ourselves in difficult situations, we need to look inward and see what we can do to change them. But, when bad things happen that we cannot control, we trust in God and pray. We should also recognize that we are human and there are physiological responses to emotional stress. There is nothing wrong with seeking therapy and/or medical attention for depression, etc. This in no way reflects upon your faith.

Although I have no specific details, here is what I would do.
1. Pray...often. A lot. As much as possible
2. Find a church (if you don't have one already). We all need a church family.
3. Join a christian small group. There are tons of churchs meeting in basements and fellowship halls on Wednesday nights. Fine one. OR find a group of christian women to have coffee with on Saturday mornings. We all need some Christian companionship.
4. Don't quit...don't give up.

pray, fast (only if neccessary, and see your doctor if you have some special metabolism conditions) and have faith.
I know it sounds cliched, but it works. the more you talk to God, the closer your relationship is, and you'll probably recognize the answers better. fasting strengthens your faith, as it's usually coupled with Bible reading (the Bible will probably have a direct example of what you're going through) and you need to trust God that you don't pass out (in the most extreme cases), and faith is trusting that God can and will see you through this situation.
