		<description>Dionisia,
Thanks for sharing with us, I want you to know, that God isn&#039;t far away! God promises never to leave you or forsake you! At times it can &quot;feel&quot; 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&#039;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!</description>

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</description>

		<description>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&#039; name.</description>

		<description>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&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t give up. Today&#039;s society puts so much pressure on bring the perfect &quot;it&quot; 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&#039;t judge those that hurt us because they could feel the same way we do. Pray!!!!!!! God is always there for you!</description>

		<description>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&#039;m sure you&#039;ve all heard &#039;hurt people hurt people&#039;...it&#039;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&#039;s eyes.</description>

		<description>To the young lady who is pregnant...know that God loves you! There is nothing you can do that will separate you from God&#039;s love. When you repent and ask for God&#039;s forgiveness, he forgives you. Be encouraged, not to step away from God during this time. Do NOT judge God&#039;s love for you based on the actions of others in your life. God&#039;s love is unconditional! He is not pleased with us when we sin, but he still loves us! Turn towards God during this time, ask for his forgiveness, and his guidance. I pray that God will strengthen during this difficult time in your life. Know that there is help out there. Consult your Pastors or school officials  they should be able to guide you to those who can assist you during your pregnancy.  God is not punishing you, God will correct you through the power of his Holy Spirit, but he is not a punishing God, God is good and he loves you. I pray God&#039;s love to touch you now, even as you read this post. We at prayer for youth are praying for you, and we love you.</description>
