When i was younger my aunt died and i thought,"If God was real he wouldn't let this happen to my family, so he must not be real." Boy was i wrong!

God is so real! Yes i was upset that my aunt died but God had his plans for her and yes we may think that it is unfair but this is a lot bigger than us and the devil uses things like that to pull us away from god. He is sneaky and only seeks to destroy you. Which yes sounds scary and it is! But we can't let that stop us from doing Gods will, Because that's what the devil wants.

I asked someone,"Well if the devil knows from what's in the bible that in the end he is still going to lose the battle off good and evil , then why does he carry on trying?"

I was answered with,"Because even though he knows he is going to lose he has so much hate and wants to be like God even though he can't and he will drag as many down with him as he can." 

This frightened me because i don't want to be dragged down with the devil i don't want to know all that evil, But God reassured me through his word he said,"Give yourselves fully to God. Resist the devil. If you take a stand against him he will turn and run from you ." - James 4:7

Whenever i am afraid or unsure i read Gods word (The bible) And immediately i feel safe, secure and in control of my thoughts. Its not always easy and you can't just pick up your bible, scroll through with your eyes closed and then randomly pick a page or verse to read.( I used to do that)

Just pick a book it doesn't matter which one (But John is good one too start with, its not too heavy but its got some depth to it ) And read. If you ever get stuck in a part of the bible go to God and ask him and maybe even a priest or pastor. Whatever problems get thrown at you or no matter how frustrated you get , never stop reading the bible or praying because even though it doesn't seem so the bible gives you answers. The answers might not come right away but they will come. For example you might ask a question but it doesn't get answered, then a couple months down the road you're reading a different verse and the question flashes in your head, you keep reading and realize," hey this verse just answered my question!"

God works in many different ways and at different time you just need to be patient .

"For i know the plans i have for you," declares the Lord,"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you , plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
