About 5 years ago, due to personal reasons, my life completely fell apart. I lost the majority of my friends, my self-confidence, and my self-respect as a result. I struggle with anger, depression, anxiety, and mood swings. I used to self-mutilate a lot to relieve stress, but I have trained myself away from doing that so I do not do that anymore. But, I was bad enough it was to that point. I have been on medicine and I have been to counseling - neither really helped much. I spend alot of my time alone, questioning if God is real and if He is real, how allowed my life to fall to pieces and how He can ignore my prayers for things to get better. I seem to be stuck in a cycle of bad thinking that I cannot seem to get out of.
I don't want to be like that anymore. I want to learn to let go of the past, make new friends, and learn to go with the flow and let good things happen to me. I want to rekindle my relationship with God. Any advice for making 2008 the best year ever??

Don't know what those personal reasons were but i have a good ideal. So as you said , let go of the past. Life is progressive, if we hold on to the past we're destiny to stay right there in that place in time. Bad things happen to us all, and we all fall down. The test is to get up and make it better.Keep your faith and remember, Mark 11: 24..

First, forgive yourself for your past actions.
Then forgive those who abandoned you in your time of need.
When you get rid of the anger, you will be ready to let go of the past and make new friends.
Read as much as you can about God and the various religions and attend different houses of worship to see which path of worship you feel is best for you.
All the best to you in 2008.

With Prayers and heat needs for a happy & rich 2008 ! WHY those TRIALS? The lion that David confronted whilst he exchange into on my own, typifies trials that come against our very own existence. Goliath, being the elementary enemy of Israel, shows the pains that come against the persons of God or the Church jointly. Had David been defeated by utilizing the lion, or had he been too timid to stand it, he does no longer have had the braveness to stand Goliath and the Philistines. except we take the victory interior the pains and temptations that come against our very own non secular existence, we won't be able to beat the Goliaths that confront the persons of God, and preserve the Church. David's victory over the lion that roared against him whilst he exchange into youthful, exchange into the 1st step on a thank you to the throne. newborn of God, undergo in innovations, the throne of God awaits the overcomers. The youthful lion that Samson confronted, yielded him candy honey interior the top - which he 'went on eating', and which he gave to his father and mother additionally (Judg 14:8,9). purely as Samson 'went on eating' candy honey, enable us to pass on tasting and eating God's love interior the process our trials. "O flavor and spot that the Lord is stable." enable us to share this 'honey adventure' with others additionally. the point of God in allowing trials in our lives is, to no longer make our lives bitter, yet extremely greater suitable and sweeter, and to bolster the precious ones with us. "there is no longer something God facilitates in grace That ever is presented in ineffective; He has a shining 'in a while' for each cloud of rain!" - previous due Pastor T.U.Thomas, in Morning Manna. *desire you will locate greater training in this website .
