Hey ya'll, just looking for advice from some religious people. Figured ya'll know something I don't. I'm not gonna do the whole life story, I'll just sum up and say that I have a broken family and I'm really depressed and lonely. I don't know where to find happiness. I do great in school, excel at sports, I'm very musically gifted, girls throw themselves at me, I make friends easily, but none of this makes me happy. I wanna die. I cut. No one knows that I'm so messed up, 'cept my family. I hide it well. People genuinely want to be me. I have it all, but I hate myself. I hate my life. I don't know what to do. Also, a couple months ago I was home alone in my kitchen. All of a sudden, I just couldn't take it anymore and I dropped to my knees. I was crying and I screamed out, "God! Help me, please! I can't do this on my own! I can't go on! I need your help! I'm sorry, I won't keep sinning, just please help me! After a while, I got up and went on with my day, and everything that could go wrong that day, did. What's up with that? I God is real and loves me, why wouldn't He at least give me one good day? I mean, if that day had been different, I'd know there was a God, and he wanted to help me and that he loved me. So how do you explain that? Please respond, I need help.

I'll check out the poem and the link, thank you Lani.

Jesus is the son of God. And Jesus is the sacrifice. When we accept JESUS as our LORD then we are saved.

Accepting Jesus means realizing that God sent his son to die for your sins - you are a sinner, and you accept the sacrifice of Jesus. So you NEEDED a sacrifice.

Accepting him as LORD is hard these days. A Lord had absolute power over his serfs. Accepting as Lord means you will accept direction from Jesus. It is about doing - not about sin. He defeated sin so that you can walk with and for him.

There is a Satan, and he will try to prevent you from living the life of abundance.

There are other issues too. If you have been emotionally hurt, then that has to be handled. If someone sexually abused you or if you were repeatedly physically abused or saw someone else repeatedly physically abused, then that is an emotional injury. And it has to be treated just the same as a broken bone would. Broken bones heal crooked and hurt people for life. So do emotional injuries.

And last of all, you could have health issues because of your brain chemistry or the way you eat. And this then would be a doctor issue.

God put us in a physical world. He gave us spiritual laws. And he gave humanity free will to break them. There is help no matter what the cause of your unhappiness is. And I hope you will seek help.

If you do have a buried secret, you can PM me. We can talk about it. Or you can find a man on here to talk to. Or both.

I've found that cutting is generally a result of buried secrets or feeling invisible. And it doesn't seem like you are invisible. However, if your mother treats you like you are invisible - then that is another possible issue.

Jesus heals, but Jesus heals by guiding the hands of the doctor, leading you to the right doctor, guiding the words of a counselor, rocking you to sleep at night as you work on receiving healing in other ways. Jesus leads and guides and puts you in situations to help you grow.

But Jesus does not help you to bury secrets.

God bless you.

Thank you, Dema.

Hello Rob. I met God through a prayer of desperation too. Only I didn't realize it till many years later was He really right there intently listening to my prayer and putting things into action. Don't stop talking to Him or searching for Him just because things didn't go the way you wanted them to right now. Praying for you.
