I just feel like completely giving up and that nothing can save me. It's not like me, although it used to be when I was 14 years old I was really suicidal but at one point things changed. I know for a fact God is real and such, there's no doubt. But I feel that even Him can't help me now. Every thing is crumbling around me and I'm begining to believe that nothing will ever change. I don't want to be this way, think this way, or feel as if I won't make it to my 20th birthday. I'm going to give it one last shot, so people pray I'll find the help I need. And I don't mean a therapist. I don't know what to even ask for to be prayed for me, I heard prayer is stronger in numbers and maybe God will listen to some one else as I feel he never hears me.

My first question, is are you saved? and as I speak I am praying for the words to speak to you. If you have an honest openess to seek God's face, i would recommend taking time, if you don't have a Bible, get one. Start in the Gospel of John, and pray, pray that God would reveal Himself to you in Christ. Pray that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to Scripture, and Jesus Christ.

You talk about being saved. Whats amazing is that the greek word for saved is called sozo. It means to make whole, to deliver, to heal, to bind up, to save.. So when Jesus healed someone, it's sozo.

You have a lot of life in you that Jesus wants you to surrender to Him. He who loses his life will save it, Jesus said or HE who loses his life will sozo it. Many beleivers, like myself can forget what it means to die to self, and to pick up your Cross. Picking up your cross, is denying yourself, your own desires and wants and picking up Christ

Jesus Can and will save you, but you must come on His terms in faith, do not let satan lie to you, Jesus is sufficient. Satans desire is to break and destroy you, while God's will for you is to be Sozo - healed, delivered, saved

I ill be praying for you that God would grant you salvation, humble yoursel to Him, Call upon Him in truth

Porcelain, I will be praying for you as long as you need in Jesus.
Often when things around you are crumbling, it is because God Our Father wants to build a neww greatness in your life.
Keep believing, God Our Father will not fail you in Jesus.
Hugs and God bless.

Hey Porcelain. I know what you mean, and I feel I am in the same place as you (although everyone feels things differently). All I got to say is I'm here for you. I know I have never met you before but please keep giving your all, because it would be a tragedy for people to never be able to meet you :). I'm praying for you, and I'm here for you :) I hope God blesses you. Hold on sister

Hi Porcelain, I don’t know what you’ve been going through right now, but saying you want to give up, that’s really something.

I always hear people around me saying, I’m someone who doesn’t have any problem, since they always saw me as a happy person, but that just made me smile and said to myself, if they only knew…

I never had an easy life, and I even felt, God let me feel all the pain already as I grow.:)There was even one point I was begging God with tears not to let it happen to our family (almost 4 years now), and said if He will, I won’t be going to church anymore, cuz I just couldn’t pretend that everything is fine, but it happened.
I was so restless the whole night and just can’t stop crying, and I keep this lyrics from a song Trust His Heart…” God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind, So when you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan, when you can’t trace His hand, Trust His heart” …and yea I’ve been singing that while crying.

But what funny thing is, when Sunday came , I just find myself singing in the church and when I remembered what I said , I just smiled and said to Him that I just couldn’t give Him up.
I never asked God why those things need to happen but I always said what lesson you want me to learn on this. A lot of times, I don’t understand why, but that never let me doubt His love for me.


Just keep holding on to Him, that’s the best thing you can do for yourself, for in Him only, you will find peace and strength that you need.

I may say everything is fine now… :)

Just remember this…God loves you more than anyone could ever love you as you really are.
He might break you into pieces, but that’s for Him, to make a better you.

Cheer up!:) I’ll be praying for you.

I hate to see young people such as yourself have no life left in them however somehow each minute will get better, please pray to the Lord for the strength that you need ask to seek his face and his voice. He will and is listening to you. He loves you very much. Sometime the signs are right there in front of us but we over look them because we are so focused on the turmoil in our lifes. It is kinda like that saying " A man fell out of his boat and God said dont fear I will save you. So the man is in the water waiting and a boat come but he tells the boat to keep going that God was saving him, then another boat came and another and the man said the same thing. Well then there was no more boats and the man drowned and when he died he asked God why did you not save me? God replied I did but you would not get in the boats I sent". My piont is is that something we over look signs because he are expecting to see him in a human way all the time and sometime it does not come that way he comes in other ways, signs, billboards, bumper stickers, people. Ask God to speak to you. Cry out to him, Shout out to him. He is there. I pray for you " Heavenly Father please hear porclien and her cries for help. I dont know what she is going through but she is hurting, please touch her and heal her pain. Let your voice be heard in her soul and see your word. Love her Lord in her time of need. Let her know how wonderful of a person that she is Lord and how her life is important to you and to others. She her mercy and grace Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Hi Porcelain, please stay strong girl :) God Loves you SO MUCH, and he listens to you! you are never alone! I've felt like giving up too but God has been there for me to rescue me, so he will do the same with you, believe me He is there, he loves you and he has BIGGER plans for you, that you may not know now, but you have a purpose and whatever you are going through right now is going to end soon, and you will be happy and have a peaceful life.
Just don't lose faith, Im sure Jesus is not letting you go.. you may give up on him but He will NEVER give up on you..
I love you sister, stay strong, and I'll be praying for you ;)

Prayed for you. Hang in there. Even the prophets went through this sort of thing, but God always saved them from their troubles. By the way you picked a beautiful name.

Thank you every one. I'm feeling a little better today. After I posted this that night my father and I actually got into a huge blow out. We've always had problems and it got even worse. But the next morning my father actually apologized to me which never happens. I'm still really struggling. I just feel stuck in a rott. I need to feel some thing different. I know God well, I am saved, I just don't know why He's leaving me hanging. I really appreciate your guys prayers.

Hey girl, here is something you really, really need to listen to. It's one of the messages that recently changed my life.
SermonAudio.com - More Than Enough Hope
Dr. Jim Berg is one of the wisest men I know. He teaches at my university. I promise you, if you will listen to this with an open heart and mind, God will use it in your life. You will not be sorry you took the time to listen to this.

I’m sure everything will be fine…:)

I love my dad, and I would say I can open to Him a lot of things now than before, but that doesn’t mean we never had a fight. When I was 14, is the worst of all, I wasn’t save yet.
I grew up in a Christian family but that doesn’t mean I have a perfect family.
I grew up in Sunday’ school but when we move and can’t make it to go to church anymore, I would say I’m starting to be rebellious.
It may be stupid, but yes there were times in those years, I wanted to kill myself, but knowing God, that just made me back to myself and was so sorry for thinking that way.

I didn’t grow up also surrounded with so much love…affection, appreciation, attention around me, but the difference ,I didn’t look for what I don’t have, but learn to be content of what I have and what was given to me, for I learn to rest in God and He filled those emptiness that I have.

You love your dad, right? It helps me a lot, seeing that scene on a TV, where a young man was struggling with his dad. Since he like fish balls, the guy asked him, if I’ll give you 8 fish balls would you take it, the young man said, yes… if I give you 4 would you still want it? … he said yes…how about 2? …he said yes… and then the guy said what if I’ll only give you one , would you still take it?...and the guy said of course!...so that’s the point…do you get the point? :)

Don't give up. This is just Satan trying to discourage you. You must have a really big blessing comming your way, that he is trying to stop, or he knows that you are going to be a major blessing to lots of people as far as bring them to Christ... God hears every word you speak. Don't dispare he is there!!!
