I've been feeling God weigh heavily on my heart a lot lately about those who are suffering, spiritually and emotionally. I don't know what your circumstances may be, but I feel that God wants me to tell you that you aren't alone. Whether you just lost a loved one, maybe you're not fitting in at school, had a bad breakup or maybe you just had a rough day, Jesus knows all about it. It's such a comfort to know that even when we can't find the right words to say, He already knows what's going on and what the purpose of our present suffering is.

Whenever I'm going through a rough time and I don't go straight to God, I feel a lot more heartbreak than I do when I call out to Him. I used to pray for God to change my circumstances so I wouldn't have to go through pain or discomfort for a temporary moment, but God worked things out in a different way and I'm actually glad that I've been through what has happened thus far. For example, in my second chapter when I wrote about emotional healing, I wrote a little about my uncle committing suicide. At the moment I found out I wished somehow I could've changed the entire situation. I felt so depressed and hopeless, I didn't know how long it would take for me to heal from that. It's now a year later and I've received so much healing and support from God and I realized that He was the only One keeping me together when I was falling apart. I have so much love and sympathy love for those who have attempted, contemplated, or committed suicide and also for the people that have been affected. Before my uncle's death, I didn't give those things much thought but now I want to reach out and help those people by becoming a Christian Counselor. The situation didn't feel good but it ultimately put a great desire in my heart to help others that have broken hearts. Your problems can become your testimony!

Your pain is only temporary. Any thoughts of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, etc are from the enemy.

Galatians 5:1
For freedom in Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

We are no longer subjected to the devil's authority. The enemy likes to attack us through things that don't even seem like spiritual attack, like our thoughts, gossip, etc.

1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of a sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Don't let tribulation and trials drag you down and prevent you from fulfilling the will of God in your lives.

Remember that the Bible is a powerful weapon during spiritual warfare. The Bible has great verses for comfort too. The Psalms have many comforting verses. Here are some other verses that may be helpful:

Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed

Galatians 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Ephesians 1:11
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will

Ephesians 3:16-19
that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:13
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

There's nothing wrong with being upset for a moment, but try not to meditate on what you can't control. Focus on the blessings and the amazing future that God has planned out for you.
