Just going through a difficult time. Can't sleep. Just a little frustrated. Feel like crying but I'm not a crier. :(

I'm so sorry you're going through a difficult time right now. Life can be very tough at times. I wish I knew a little more about you - what your interest are, your age, what you do for fun, the things you like.... the nice things you do for others. I bet your list is long.
Obviously, it's some kind of heavy burden. Your Father in Heaven says, "Come, let us reason together." Do you know what that means? It means you can tell him all about what you're going through, how you feel about it, what you're afraid of, how you hurt, and how you need some 'light' on the darkness....because you don't know what to do.' Jesus says, "Draw near to Me, and I'l draw near to you." That's his promise, dear one. If you do that, you won't feel all alone.
You know, crying is ok. Jesus cried. His heart hurt over lots of things. He was frustrated lots of times! And he didn't sleep lots of nights. So, let your frustration out and let the tears flow...sometimes it feels like they just wash all the 'muck' away. I sense that you are a good person, and you know the value of reaching out and asking for help. That's good. That means you're probably a good friend to someone. You're sensitive and caring.
Whatever it is that your dealing, dear one, it's not bigger than Jesus. So ask for help. Ask for wisdom in handlying this situation. And 'expect' to get it (wisdom). Far too many people pray to God and ask for things but don't even believe in their own prayers. Wisdom God will give. Those things that are not good for you, or the timing is wrong, or if your motive is wrong.....will bring a no answer. But if your heart is right with God and you're praying in His will, He will give you what is right. If you've never prayed before, just say, "God, I need to talk to you.....please listen." and start talking. Talk until you've said it all. Then thank Him for listening and ask forgiveness if you've asked for anything out of His will or offensive. And thank Him for what He's going to do in your behalf or those you've prayed for. It's that easy. You're HIs child. Just know that Jesus loves you. I'll be praying for you too. Blessings.

I'm praying for you right now!
Oh, and just wanted to let you know that I had the same problem last night. Except I am a crier. Wish I wasn't, but I need that "purging of the emotions" once in a while.
God bless you!

Summer, I just prayed for you and for God's peace, in your life! I do not know what you are going through, but God does!
The most encouraging thing I can say to you....God loves you! I too, care and am sorry that you are having a difficult time. The only way I can help you is to pour out my heart, to the Lord, for you! The only way you can change this...is to pour out your heart to Him as well. I pray you can as He will surely hear you!
Blessings
Gail

Sometimes you just need to cry. I will pray for you. I have a lot of difficulties and stresses in my life too. My friend is dying of brain cancer and I have no idea if she is still alive right now. My parents are divorcing. They have been in the process of divorce since I was 4 and still are not fully divorced. I have no money and I need some things. My bff has a learning disability and people are picking on her and gossiping about her and me...
Yep, we all need to just cry sometimes...

This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use, as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I'm exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss; good, not evil; success, not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it. May I have sufficient wisdom and courage that this shall be my record for today.

Where there is life, hope can be found.

Sweetie, I've learned from experience that "this to shall pass." No matter what it is, 6 months or a year from now, right now will seem like a dream. Just hang in there - you never know what tomorrow will bring. Something good for you I hope. Blessings!

Trust in God at all times ye people; pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8
Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yolk upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
