The old saying goes..."GOD WONT PUT ANYTHING ON YOU THAT YOU CANT HANDLE"\nSometimes I doubt that a lot. I think I am at my breaking point, I have been her e for a while and I know I cant take anymore..the situation isnt getting better...help me...what am I to do? I prayed about it for a long time now. Is there even a god out there...or am I just going crazy?

It's called hang in there. There have been many times in my life when I figured that I could not take any more, that I couldn't handle it, but darned if I could and did. Sometimes it took longer than I liked, so I found that if I occupy my time with other things, the answers show up quickly. Inside you are really stronger than any problems that you will encounter. \n\nTry reading about people who had problems that would make our tough ones seem like a piece of cake and it will teach you to hang on. Whatever, just don't give up. You would not have lasted this long if you were a wimp.\n\nGood luck

Where is God when it hurts.\n\nThis is one of those awful situations, why do bad things happen, why does God allow sufferring? \n\nI don't exactly know the answer, but I do know that God wants you to rely on him to get through it, because he can bring healing and wholeness, I know this as first hand experience, I was going to walk away from God and not look back and he gently showed me he loved me and had a better plan. \n\nFaith is believing the what God has revealed trusting him, with out outside influence. \n\nTrust God he loves you and your friend who suicided. I am so sorry for your loss and that it still causes you pain.\n\nCast all your cares on God, for he cares for you. Allow him to heal you.\n\nYou are so special and God has a plan and purpose for your life.

Pray, pray, pray!  Don't forget that God loves you very much.  He could never forget you.  But you are here on this earth to learn and grow.  The best way to learn is by experience.  Bad things happen, and they happen to everybody.  The testing point is how you answer these challenges.\n\nRemember that even Jesus felt abandoned by God for a moment during the atonement and crusafiction.  \n\nThe best thing you can do now is continue to have faith.  The scriptures say to endure to the end in faith, right?  That's what we are asked to do, not 'endure to the bad parts in faith'.  Just stay strong.  Good luck.

I feel sorry for you.   It is a difficult situation and I think only a doctor would be able to help you on this.  God is supposed to be there for us but sometimes I wonder whether he is.  It seems to me that God makes many mistakes and is not as infallible as we are supposed to think.  I feel your hurt and your rejection.  It is not your fault.  Now that you have done this just go ahead and be yourself.  Damn the people that mock you and turn round and say to them  "There but for the Grace of God go I" !!  There are many unfeeling people in this world and kids are the worst of all.

Fall on your knees & ask God to help you. Also seek counseling right away from a Pastor or a professional > but life is worth living. there is nothing bad enough to take your life. People don't realisze that killing ones self isn't the end~God Bless, you are in my Prayers~

I have a similar situation. I think you are doing the right thing so far.\nI suggest that you pray (don't underestimate the power of prayer) and that you ask God to show you how to show this person His love.\nI am finding it helpful to keep open non-threatening discussion about both of our beliefs (she used to think all Christians were unreasonable and couldn't think for themselves). And I am trying to show her (through actions, more than words) the positive effect God has on my life - like how I treat people, and that I can rely on God.\nI really hope that you can get some where with your friend. I'll pray for you, and your friend. God Bless.

I can tell you that after 8 months of persistent prayer and seeking God's will he moved a mammoth of a mountain.  If you pray and seek His will in your life, aren't afraid to ask Him for the desires of your heart and ask with caution, clarity and selflessness... your prayers will be answered.\n\nI know this first hand.... we were having a conflict with an adoption agency, a private agency that had custody of two little girls we fell in love with. well, the adoption agency decided they wanted to place the girls with someonelse after we had built strong bonds. this agency refused to even talk to us, were adamant about the change and would not even submit to their state mandated policy of a fair hearing or right to grievance procedures. they even went against a judges recommendation and took the girls from us.\n\nwe prayed and prayed. we went biblically to the agency and the agency refused to listen to us.  eventually the agency said we had to say goodbye forever to our little girls. they told our little girls this as well. but God told me to not listen to the world.... keep your eyes and ears focused on me and I will lead you through this journey... and what a journey it was. It went to places I was uncomfortable... but God was there with me every step of the way... even when i had to go to the legislature and senators to get help! God led the way and eventually brought my little girls back whom we have formally adopted now! you can't imagine the resistance and journey it was to get where we are today... but GOD IS BIGGER! GOD IS FAITHFUL and loving! pray to him and he will guide you and help you with any problem of any size!

I've gone through something similar and it really just comes down to focusing on God. Even if it means fasting and praying for a day or two, just try and tune everyone out but Him. You could even try explaining to those around you that you appreciate their input, but that is important and you need to spend some time in prayer and ask that they kind of..cool it for awhile if they are shoving in your face or anything like that. Just focus and listen to what he has to say. I will be praying for you! God bless!!!

With God everything is possible, so never give up hope. You also have to help yourself with and let her know how you feel.................

Are you holding anything back?  God wants you to get real with him.  He knows all about you already, tell him your fears and He WILL comfort and help you.  I have been in your situation.  I have had to learn like others have said, there is not always that magic feeling that we want to feel and that is where faith comes in.  You have to remember, the devil knows all about you also, and he will do everything in his power to make you doubt yourself and most of all doubt God.  Clear your mind and ask God what is going on, He will reveal His path for you.  When I was saved I did feel different, I knew it was real, but the peace and presence of God that He has shared with me came much later after I grew in faith and wanted a real relationship with God not just seeking a feeling.  Keep close to God, find spiritual friends and leaders, and spend time with them each day.  God loves you, He is leading you through this and I have learned those times when I have felt down and out of the loop with God, -if I kept the faith- He always brought me out stronger than before.  Seek Him with all you heart, trust me He WILL answer.

Ofcourse!! I believe God could do anything. With GOd everything is possible. You ask me how do i know? trust me i know God will never ever want to see you hurt, although there are times where you may feel things are on top of ur head and ur world is upside down, and you wonder why God isnt doing anything about it? i believe hes waiting for the right time to fix our mess, because he sees if he fixes it wont be good for you later on. Im not very good with explaining but i hope you get what i mean. God bless you and help you with ur friendship.\n(i myself is losing a preciouse friend of mine...but i know God will help me through.)

This has got to be a horrible time for you, not to be able to go and be with the ones you love in this horrible time of need.  I have no words of wisdom to give you that will ease your pain, nor help you either.  Use the phone regularly to call home, use the computer t seek counsel, and pray that this to shall pass.  Pretty lame, huh?

He is probably really scared and doesn't know how to deal with it. He thinks if he pretends it's not happening, maybe it will go away. He also wants life to just be back to normal and is having a hard time dealing with this. I am praying for you and I'm sorry you seem to not have any support. I hope all goes well.

Ouch...it sounds like you have been having a really rough time.  The teens are hard, no doubt about it.  When my life crashed it came to a life and death situation, too.  I found that that is the time I was willing to call out to God for help.  I didn't leave it up to Him to help or not, it was an inner scream, "God, if you're really there, help me!" and He did. Ask Him...sometimes we are brought to these situations so that we WILL call on Him for help.  Some others think it's a crutch, but when you're desperate and only One can help it's not a crutch its a lifeline.  I'll keep you in prayer, too.
