One thing I've learned these past couple of months, is that faith often requires more than just a willing heart. You have to be willing to trust God with everything. My problem was, I could and would of died for him, but I couldn't trust him to get me through the day okay. Doesn't make much sense right?
          	
          	See, over these months I've learned that I wasn't made like everyone else. I was born with a fire in my soul and a God in my heart. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm better than everybody else, I'm saying that I except who I am as someone unique, just like you are unique from me and everyone else. 
          	
          	As a hurricane, I always thought that because I wasn't a calm stream I couldn't be used for gods work. I would never be like my sister, calm and collected. But the truth is I won't, I wasn't born to be calm. I was born to be a hurricane. 
          	
          	Hurricanes like me will swipe you off your feet and cause destruction. But i have learned that even a hurricane can be used for good.

Thank you all to those who have answer and encouraged me. I swear, without you I wouldn't still have my faith. Things are starting to look up again which is brilliant! 
          It still is pretty rough, and I think it will be for a little while. But the good thing is that, I'm okay. Despite the heartache, despite the pain,  despite everything, I still believe God is God. And God is enough, through everything. I don't need to worry about what tomorrow brings, Gods got that under control. I don't need to be always sad because I'm a horrible person or because I'll never be good enough. Because I won't ever be perfect and that's okay. It's okay that I'm slightly crazy and don't get perfect grades. And I think most importantly It's okay that I'm only okay. I'm taking steps at my pace.
          
          Some advice is, you do not need to be ashamed if you have depression, anxiety, or a mental disorder. Definitely if your a Christian, because your aloud to be in pain, your aloud to hurt, this is God strengthening you. I say this because I've been diagnosed with anxiety, and depression before. Just recently, I was diagnosed again and there was nothing about depression. Just anxiety and some other stuff, this means I'm getting better. And I'm sorry but that's just exciting!!! So hold on, I'm living proof that things get better.

          I don't know if I'll be any help to you but I can try :)
          I've been through bad situations, in some ways similar to yours, and let me tell you that you're not alone. God can feel terribly distant at times like that, and you wonder, where is He in all of this? Why isn't helping me. But it is in those situations that you develop perseverance, endurance and a greater faith than you ever had before. I know you might be sitting there like, why do I want perseverance. I don't care I just want to feel better. I felt similarly too, but looking back on all that's happened to me, I know that God was there even if I couldn't see Him. Look up Jeremy 29:11-13, Psalm 91, 139 and 37, Hebrews 12:1-2, and James 1:12. I don't know your entire situation, or how long it will last, but God is there watching over you, but the teacher is quiet during the test, and God does give us tough battles so that we can learn to rely on him. And once you have come through this obstacle in your life, you will be renewed with a refreshed faith. 
          
          Feel free to message me any time. I hope I helped!

Hi Guys!
          I've been struggling with with my faith, and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for me. So in the last couple of months I've felt myself being depressed again and for a while even suicidal. Lately, everything's disappearing. Friends are turning their backs on me, and betraying me. I don't even trust my church anymore. So many things are just becoming messed up, i am trying to find where God is in all of this but it's so hard. I feel almost stupid trying to talk to this invisible guy that is supposably in the sky. I've been doubting God, and the choice I made with what if this all of this is only just a fairy tale? What if people come up with the story of Jesus, because they worked out we have nothing? 
          
          In the last couple of days, everything's just been hurting me. And I'm not quite sure what to do anymore, any ideas?
