For years I have been going through troubles in my life. My parents got a divorce in 08, I lost my father to Cancer a week before Christmas within two months of knowing he had it, and when I turned 18 my mother kicked me out of her home after she married a abusive man. And now almost a year later I'm stuck to live with my brother & his wife, and lets just say things aren't doing to good. Like not good at all. I'm 18 years old almost 19 in may I'm going to college to do fitness management. But somehow I just don't know if this is gods calling for me how do I know? & yes before you ask I have prayed about it but have not heard anything from God. I guess what I'm just saying is please pray for me I just feel like a total mess up & feel like I've hurt a lot of people lol I'm not sure if God looks at me as Strong anymore, because I've let so many others down. Please I need your thoughts & PRAYERS.

A college education is invaluable no matter what your field of study. The folks who do the best are the one's who match what they really like to do with their abilities. When one is doing what they really like, they do their best naturally and feel more satisfied and fulfilled.

Many go to college and change majors. I don't think that is too big an issue. Do what you like. Do the best you can. Pray for guidance. Accept opportunities that arise keeping in mind your Christian values and commitment to God. You never know where you will be led, but if you keep the Lord Jesus in your life, you won't go wrong.

Edit: Your mother is an adult who has to take on the responsibilities of her own actions. You cannot live her life for her. You cannot make her decisions. It is not your responsibility. The same goes for your brother. I know this sounds harsh. I'm sorry for that. I'll pray for you and your family.

If you have asked the Lord into your heart to be your personal savior then you are His and you simply need to pray pray pray over everything and wait on Him and He will be the one to move the events around in your life. Surrender every single morning to Him when you spend that alone quiet time with Him. Lately He has been showing me and touching my mind letting me know that He is with me every single step on this journey called life. If you submit your will to His and surrender (I also ask the Holy Spirit to live through me) trust that He is doing exactly that! Be blessed and I pray and ask that the Lord lets you feel His love and His peace and that He gives you direction and peace over your life, I ask on Jesus name amen. Remember we are suppose to take his hand and walk by faith. Believe his promises. He really is all that you need. Cling to Him.

today the thought was going through my mind that I don't need anyone but me and He gently placed in my mind, no all you need is me. He is so just perfectly right and truth always :D

I read this request early this morning but did not reply because I had more to say than I had time to say it. You have absolutely been in my thoughts and prayers all day, and this will continue as God has emphasized your request to me.

" I just feel like a total mess up & feel like I've hurt a lot of people lol I'm not sure if God looks at me as Strong anymore, because I've let so many others down."

I not only feel like I am a total mess but I actually know I am. I am certain God does not look at me as a strong Godly man because He and I both know I am not. I am messy and needy very much imperfect and I used to struggle with all of these things very much. The difference today for me isn't that God has purified me(He has) or forgiven me(he has) or saved me(he has) The difference for me really is acceptance and self love. God demonstrated HIs love for us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. I had to forgive myself and accept and love myself just the way God does. Which is, Just as I am.
I have learned to practice thanking God for all things(Galatians 5:20) and trusting God for all things including all of my sin. I used to think the best thing I could do for others is keep them away from me. It seemed no matter how I tried to do good, evil always seemed to be the result. God is trustworthy. HE promised us that HE will work all things for the good of us who love Him and are called according to HIs purpose. Even when I sin, God uses it for good. This gives me freedom to love others with no fear of causing more harm than good because God keeps HIs promises. When we know we are weak, that is when we can begin to be strong.

I pray that God wrap HIs arms around you and hold you forever. I pray that God pour HIs spirit out upon you in power so that all you can feel is the perfection beauty grace peace joy and love that our God is. I pray that you are blessed by God just as God has blessed me. Thank you for your prayer request. All glory honor power and praise always be to our God and Father through whom all good things come.

Not just saying "oh I'm praying for you" but I am literally going to pray right now. Your situation is tough, but nothing is too major for God to handle. I pray he leads you in the right direction. Keep leaning and relying on him because he will never fail you. Praying God starts revealing whatever it is that he wants you to do and that it will be clear to you! Remember to try your best in listening to his response, even if it isn't maybe what you want to hear.

You need to hear a word from GOD, to give you something to hold on too, Idont think advice will help, you need to have a day alone with Jesus, and read the Bible until you get a word from GOD for youself. Get out ypour KJV Bible or Audio Bible, plan a day with no telephone, and get on your face and praise the Lord Jesus, thank him over and over, humble yourelf and Jesus WILL SPEAK TO YOU through His word. Pslams is a good place to go. I just did this and it worked for me, GOD is so good.... you need a personal retreat with the Holy Ghost ( just my advice ) A.S.A.P-

First of all it sounds like alot of people have let you down. Along with that, things in your life haven't been all things you have done,much of it has been done to you. when you feel like you are a total mess up, please remember the high stress things that have happened in your life,and you are young! and sometimes even old people like me make the wrong choices when under stress.Do you have a pastor or a trusted adult to help you? You need to look to God to give you strength. It sounds like you are trying hard to get your life back on track that is wonderful! You need to be PROUD of yourself. If you are unsure of your college plan being God's plan continue to pray.feel free to pm me if you would like. GOD BLESS YOU.

I just want you to know I am praying for you. My parents threw me out of the house at 17, and I really messed up. But God loved me, and he really did give me all the desires of my heart, including a lot of things I didn't really know I wanted. This is 42 years later!!

Cling to God, read your Bible (preferably a modern and understandable version!) and seek God. And don't hate yourself. God loves you, and he does not want his child to hate herself.

God bless!
