There are a number of reasons that bad things happen. The root, of course, is a fallen world that is in sin, but beyond that, God sometimes allows such things to happen to us to build us. James 1 tells us to consider it great joy whenever we face trials of many sorts, knowing that it develops endurance.
Satan is alive and well on planet earth. He doesn't like Christians living like Christians. Those who are new Christians especially come under attack, because he wants to draw them away from Christ and make them ineffective witnesses. The best defense here is to study God's Word and pray diligently. Interestingly enough, this solution tends to work for just about any struggle to understand what God would have you do. Also, find people who are more mature in Christ that are near you, rely on them and learn from them. Maybe it's a pastor, maybe an elder, or maybe just another Christian that you can respect for their faith.
Hang in there, I wouldn't say that it gets easier, but I will say that it's worth every moment of struggle to find God's will and his power in your life.

Judges 6:12 "The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior."

Well, first of all, your language isn't pleasing to God, I can tell you that much. When people begin to live in a sinful life after they are saved, they are distancing themselves from God. Try to clean up the language and drug use, then work on a close and personal relationship with Christ. You're GOING to have bad things happen. Shoot, look at Paul in the Bible. He lived a lot of his life chained up in jail...but he was one of the strongest godliest men in the Bible. Bad things will happen, but if you're trusting in and leaning on God, He will get you through them.

Try having personal quiet times daily with Him. Get out your Bible and read it, then pray over it. Make sure you are confessing your sins to God and asking His forgiveness before you begin your prayers. Then just talk to Him. Ask Him for His strength and His help to get you through everything. He will! But you have to make the effort.

God is there. Please read St. John chapter 14.
If you were trying to live by the bible, please clean up your language. I think people use profanity because of lack of vocabulary. You must also let go of all of your bad habits. Talk to a religious leader at a church in your community that you trust. This takes time and does not happen over nite. You will be in my prayers, and may God bless and keep you.

*first there is something called Free Will you are not forced to
do anything including believe as you do.we react in Free Will
*second in a educated society how can one think that someone else is going to save you from all your wrongs.
Jesus died to show society he was Light Energy as he
returned in the lightbody form showing them they were
spirit and went on beyond the human physical form as being
eternal. This was so they would understand they were spirit experiencing huminism to help them evolve consciousness.
Saying he saved you ment he did this to show you all this.
It does not mean he saved you from being accountable for your actions.

Best thing I can suggest right now is a mentor. See if your church has or wants to get started in something like that. Chances are, there's more than one person besides you that needs to be encouraged in the Lord.
