So I'm a high school senior and the past four years have been really rough on me. The summer before my freshman year I was in an car bicycle accident while riding my bike and I spent the summer down at children's hospital. The first year I was so happy to he in school with my friends and on track to graduate. But as I got older kept getting more upset and if I'm duly honest sort if irritated with Go for letting this happen I me because I've lost so much of who I think I could be. And have occasionally just felt like I'm falling apart and thought about committing suicide. I mean obviously I didn't or I wouldn't be writing this. And drawing closer to the end of the year I'm so stressed because I don't know what he want of me and I have no clue how I'm going to get there. I guess what I need to now is how do I know if he is using this to strengthen me or using me as a testimony or message to him? Help plz.

If you are upset at God for what happened your freshman year, I suggest you take a step back and look at the big picture. I have been through so serious things (including the hospital multiple times) and I will admit that I too was angry at God for bringing struggles into my life. But then I realized, that God doesn't bring trials into your life without something great being born from it. And yes, this struggle of yours IS and always WILL make you stronger. Even after the rough waters are behind you, you will look back and see that what he did was for a purpose. Hang in there and keep your faith. Everything happens for a reason!:)

I know it sucks. I was born with a milder case of unilateral congenital equinovarus talipes and all I've ever wanted to do was be a freakin' ballerina. I understand why you're like, "Really?! Now?! Why?!" Look, I've had to compensate my whole life, always take the hard road, and its not fun. I believe you can do anything you want to do, but if the thing you want to do is not truly worth the guts for glory trade-off, cut bait. Go do something else. Let it go! Paint! Write! Do hair! Travel! Try a different sport! Sing! Dance! I encourage you to all of those things, because even if you suck (which I doubt, you cant suck at all of them), do it. I swear they'll make you happier. Who cares if you're tone deaf or not that creative? Have fun regardless, be able to laugh at yourself, and the people around won't even notice. Bottom line is, go seek out happiness. Not someone elses approval, not a first place medallion, those things won't make you happy; only being happy will make you happy. Also, talking to a counselor reallllllly helps.:eek:

Sometimes when I am mad at God, I let Him know.

i say, "God, I am mad at you right now. I know your perfect and you have a plan, but I don't see it and I'm mad, because you allowed this bad thing to happen. I will get over it God, but right now, I'm just upset. I know you are big enough to take me being upset with you and I know you love me anyway. I love you too God, I just sometimes really don't get You.....but I will trust you....I lay down my wants and desires. I give them to you. No one loves me like you do. There is none I desire more than you."

And by the time I am done "being angry" with God, I am instead praising Him....hmmm that sounds actually similar to a lot of psalms I have read! =)

It is ok to let God know how you really feel. He already knows our hearts and we don't have to try and hide or pretend to be good. God desires our honesty, after all, He is the one who said, "The truth shall set you free."

God bless you and keep you. May He give you wisdom in all that you are suppose to do.

oh and don't worry, I didn't know what I was "suppose" to do till I was 24. In the meantime use every opportunity, even the painful ones, to grow in Him and develop character, integrity, and Christ-likeness in your heart. =)

It is a fact, since the Fall, we humans tend to blame God for everything bad that happens. This is just what Satan wants you to do! He whispered in Eve's ear causing her to doubt God's goodness. This is the very crux of our problem in having a close relationship with God. If we don't trust His goodness, we will never achieve a close relationship.

I'm reading a good book called "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere. It's very good and talks mainly about how once we are 'offended', we will start stumbling in our Christian walk. One of those offenses is being mad at God.

I think the main point behind the book of Job is to point out that we shouldn't waste our time and energy trying to figure out what's caused our misery. Because God can bring good out of any situation...IF IF IF we respond correctly. That response should always be one of Godly trust and humility. Don't let your ego have it's way :). It will shout and twist and complain...but we can have control over it.

Regular Bible study, prayer, worship, and fellowship will all help keep you on that narrow path. It's a difficult journey but one that is definitely worth it! Jesus didn't say it would be easy...He said He will always be with us. It's up to us to make sure we stay in communion with Him.

When you find yourself sincerely worshiping God in the midst of a trial, you may be encouraged to know that you have defeated Satan and are in obedience to God's will. Stick with it! You will glad you did :).

i also recommend "The Bait if Satan" by John Bevere. His "The Fear of The Lord" is very good as well!

Hey thanks everyone. That really helps some of those thing I'm doing and some i'v just stopped I'm trying to find a way to play to sport i love in a non competitive fashion and i have decided rather than stressing out over what is to come to just let it come. because your'e right he does know all 9 (* all that was, is and yes is to come.)And even if I worry it won't happen the way I want it's going to happen the way it is supposed to happen and that is through God.
