Whatever you may be going through in your life, remember that God loves you so much that he would have sent Christ to die for just YOU to redeem you. It is important to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide you and comfort you.
I am often woken up in the early hours of the morning by the Holy Spirit. He comforts me by reminding me of God’s unconditional love. I cherish my personal relationship with Christ. He will never leave or forsake you.

Jamie,
Thanks for sharing, I am happy to hear that the article helped you. I want you to know that God is with you. God has a plan for your life, despite the disease
you are fighting. I want to encourage you to continue to fight the ‘good fight of faith’! I pray that God strengthen you from your inner being. I pray against
any attacks the enemy is setting for you, and declare by faith that you will be strong and healed in Jesus’ name! God’s eyes are on you! When you find yourself alone, pray to God and I stand in agreement that you will sense His presence with you. I pray for Godly friends to cross your path to encourage you and walk this walk of faith out with you. You are loved and we are praying for you! God Bless, Lucy Ann

The link for this article was at the bottom of my email devotional today and I sure needed to read this!!! I’m almost done with my senior year of high school and I was diagnosed with a chronic pain disease that affects my left leg and at Christmas I had my 7th surgery to put a spinal cord stimulator in my back that makes it so that my nerves can’t work right so that I”m not in as much pain (only like a 4-5 out of 10 now) and I became suicidal in June/July 2011 and ended up spending a total of 14 days at a hospital for my depression and suicidal ideations. Today I’m doing much better and my classmates are WAY more understanding of me and my disease than they were at the beginning of the year or last year…people would kick the crutches out from under me and kick/hit my bad leg which would make the pain excruciating and I would usually cry out in pain…I also went through a period of cutting which made it where I was in control of my pain and it was visible to others not just there for me. Now I’m on lots of medicine including anti-depressants and I’m doing much better but I still have my days, these past few days have been really hard. The tornado that hit Harveyville, KS at the end of Feb. hit my house and while we are finally back in our house we have a long way to go. I no longer have a car and my mom and I are sharing one of our new cars…it’s hard to live out in the middle of nowhere and not have friends to hang with unless you can get there which I can’t unless my mom lets me have the car since my dad has the other one. here lately I’m just super tired of feeling down and I cry a lot at night. I “can’t remember” what it’s like to not be in pain and to be in control of my life. It’s really hard to explain since I really don’t know of anyone that has the same disease as me and I”m one of the youngest cases of longterm CRPS…Now I have the worry of if someone will hire me after college with a spinal cord stimulator and this disease.

Dionisia,
Thanks for sharing with us, I want you to know, that God isn’t far away! God promises never to leave you or forsake you! At times it can “feel” like God is not near, however , that is just a deception, because the truth is He is always with you! Things happen in life that are hurtful, we can not avoid that, however, you can always count that God will see you through. I pray now for you, that the truth of God’s word, penetrate your heart and fill you with joy! Keep praying, keep trusting God and expect that good things will come you way! Blessings, You are loved!

I am also one of the youth who is currently experiencing depression… I graduated last April 2011 and until now i don’t have a good job.
My bf broke up with me last August with no reason and it hurts me badly…I pray and pray but as if nothing happens in my life…
Seems like God is very very far even if i confess my sins

Hi Taylor,
Remember wherever you go…God goes, so you are not alone. Remember back to the things you did when you where at home that kept you close to God. Are you reading your bible, attending a church or small group? Are there Christian organizations at your school that you can join? These are some things that will help bring your focus back . Change can be difficult, but it can also be exciting. I encourage you to look for new opportunities right where you are at.
Father, I pray now for my sister Taylor, surround her with your presence, let her feel your love, even now, as she is reading this prayer. I pray that you lead, guide and direct her path. Show her the way you would have her go. I pray for Godly friends to cross her path to encourage her walk with you. Praying in Jesus’ name.

I posted on here a year ago about he depressing feelings I was having at the time. I was shocked and teared up when I saw how I was feeling and that others felt the same way as me! Ladies keep persevering! As Lucy Ann and the bible say everyday is a gift and the trials we face today are tests that God allows to bring out the best in us; Satan tempts us to bring out the worst. After a year I am much happier and I’m glad I didn’t give up. Today’s society puts so much pressure on bring the perfect “it” girl. They say we need to be successful, sexy, mean, perfect in the worlds terms. God made you perfect the way you are. Have u noticed that when u strivefor worldy pleasures you only end up sad? Only through God do we find happiness. People are going to hate on you but you can choose to love them for that is the greatest commandment of all. If God can love us through all the misttakes we make, we can’t judge those that hurt us because they could feel the same way we do. Pray!!!!!!! God is always there for you!

My heart feels for these young women. I was bullied throughout my school years and as a result was very depressed. As I grew older, I learned more about the types of people who bullied me. I realized that those who bully usually have a deep hurt inside. Many bullies come from homes where they feel unloved and are perhaps compared to their siblings. There are many who are experiencing pain because of broken homes. I’m sure you’ve all heard ‘hurt people hurt people’…it’s absolutely true. Be confident in the fact that God loves you UNCONDITIONALLY and says you are beautiful. Pray for those who hurt you and remember you are a queen in God’s eyes.
