Brokenangel, my heart goes out to you. Hearing of such pain in such young peoples' lives makes me sad. I have no words of wisdom for you I'm sorry, as I have struggles myself. But I just felt compelled to let you know that I will pray for you, and don't lose your faith in God. You need Him more than ever right now, and He is just waiting for you to ask for His help. I turned my back on Him for years and years when I knew better. I came back to Him and He welcomed me with open arms. He will not turn His back on you if you just ask His help.

Hello and welcome to CC! I too have no wisdom to impart though I dearly wish I do! :( I have observed that it is scary to let go of control. I too am going through something where I'm having difficulty letting go of trying to control things. I'm failing miserably... it's been almost 4 months now. But I do know that it is working - unbelievably slowly! Every time I stumble or fall, I get back up and make a teeny tiny effort to let things go to God (with some effort to control myself, too). I think these things take a long time because they build your faith and teach you how to trust God. I really do hope you'll stop cutting yourself though. Would distracting yourself with other things help you? At least to get away from the cutting... :(

What is going on with the young people today? Cutting/suicide/fornication. This is all so sad!

Broken Angel, I'm very sorry to hear about your situation, it sounds awful.

But what you need to do is take a step back from all of this, and examine your relationship with the Lord. Forget about your problems on this earth for a few moments and think about what really matters in the grand scheme of things.

The bible says that if we have died with Christ, we can no longer live in sin. You need to stop mutilating yourself with cutting and starvation. You seem to be off to a good start - don't fall back into your old ways! The bible says we can do all things through Jesus who strengthens us.

How often are you praying for the strength of Jesus to help you overcome these struggles?

You're placing too much emphasis on your own feelings. Don't worry about them. The heart is deceitfully wicked. Listen to the words of scripture.

"Let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".

My advice to you: Get on your knees and pray.

God's sweet child, that is who you are, I wish I could talk to you personally, and help keep you encouraged that God is on your side. and to know that you can't do nothing within your self, but God will as you trust him, he will do it for you. This is what I have learned in my walk with the Lord, " If he don't do it-- It wont get done" because when we try to change something we have come so use to doing, it is very hard and for some it is impossible to stop. so God will give you the strength and the understanding to stop. and he will keep you. My sister you want to know the greatest control we can have over life, is not having it by giving it all to God. if you can do that then he will do the rest. see there is thing that the devil has caused you to do to yourself, and his lie to you is that it give you a sense of control. but it is a false reality, and strong confusion from the enemy of yous soul, because it is not you having control but Satan having control over you. you know what is the hardest thing that is for christians to do? it is to not do what satan want us to do, and then to make our will the same as God's will. so I would sugest that you not worry about it as you trust that God is going to take away all your promblems, even what you see your parents do, he is more than able and gracefully willing to help your family. as you pray for you stand in the gap for them as well. you have the power in the name of Christ Jesus to bind, rebuke, and cast the devil out of your family's life and most defently your's. start telling the devil to leave you alone, and that he has no right to you, and he will not no longer make you cut yourself or anything that will hurt you. do the same for you mom and dad, and for your ex, and keep yourself from sining, old and new. that you will walk in the power of the Holy Spirit of God that dwells in you. stand on the Word of God, and know that it is a sword in your hand to defeat the devil for all who you pray for.... Speak the Word of God to yourself in all yuor situations and that of those whom you love. and it will bring light where there is darkness and it will bring Godly life to where there is spiritual death.. and the lives of those who you are praying for will be blessed, and that includes you. you are stronger then you think, with the Lord working for you and not against you, you can do all things in Christ Jesus who strengthen you. I am praying for you, and your family and your ex, you all will be alright for God, the living God is with you.... Smile for your life as you know it is about to change. In the name of Jesus..... pray in the name of Christ Jesus, fight the devil who want you and your family to perish, in the name of Jesus... you have athourity over all spirits... make them obey who your are, a precious daughter of the living God, the redeemed of the Lord, you are a princess to the King of kings, you have the same power of God over the devil,,,,,, I challeng you to use it. and watch what God do, just watch,

I love you, but God loves you sooo much more..... God bless you. all in the Holy name of Christ Jesus,,,, Amen,

Dear Baby Girl,I'm sorry your having such trouble, I would just hold you till all your troubles were gone. My heart goes out to you. I love you did you hear that I LOVE YOU. Next time you hear that voice say that cutting is control, think of this stranger that loves you and I'm asking you not to. I have no God this or God that I have the love of one person asking you please don't do it because I care. If there is anything I can do let me know. I will pray for you and hope the best for your heart.

Just before I came back to God, I wanted to take my life I was at the end of my rope and I said to God take my life it's yours. Show me who you truly are so I can know you. He is listening to you and he does understand your pain.
