I have tried to be a good Christian all my life and I was raised Christian. When my parents got a divorce though both my mom and dad stopped going to church and stopped praying before eating. I have also sorta lost my faith in god too. I have been confused my entire life about my sexuality. I cry at night because I do not know what to do. I am bullied at school and my family is always fighting. I just don't get why god who I have been taught is supposed to be a good guy would make my life as hard as it has been. Someone please halp me.

I will be praying for you, I am so sorry you have these things going on in your life right now, But by leading a Christian life you can experience the joy that God brings us each day. Things will get better,trust me. Control the things that you can, and don't worry about the things you can't. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about things more specifically.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
--Deuteronomy 31: 6

And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
--Deuteronomy 31:8

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved
--Psalm 55:22

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
-John 14:1

Remember these verses. Write down or type it a buncha' times so it can sink in.

Oh yeah, when troubling times come, run to God and keep trusting. Don't let your heart be troubled.
When you feel like breaking down, start praying. Thank God for the good things, even when you're saddened. Pray for your parents, that they might come back together. And remember God's will. He has a plan, so just trust in Him. Sometimes, for us, the plan seems to be hard and well.. stupid. I know that's how I was.
My family was shaken because my brother's family fell apart, and his children went away to another town with his now ex-wife. Then he attempted suicide, but I believe God intervened when he heard one of his daughter's voice saying "Daddy, look!" His daughter wasn't in the house, but he said her voice sounded so clear.
I was overcome with grief, anger, and hate. Instead of choosing to trust God, I acted upon my own anger and began cursing God. I still regret doing that.

Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days, eating nothing. He was tempted by the devil, but at each temptation, he countered them with Scripture.
He didn't use flashly lightning and earthquakes.
He didn't breathe flames at the devil.
He didn't fight back with a sword.

He used Scripture. And in the same way, we can, too.


EDIT: I will be praying for you. :)
