Hi (:
So recently, i have been struggling with depression and self harm and stuff like that and i have just not felt like God is helping me with it. I doubted him, and i didn't think he was going to help me at all. At my weakest point, the other night, when i was completely stressed out with a ton of school work i just started crying and crying in the shower, and i felt God just telling me "Evy: get on your knees and pray right now." I felt like an idiot while crying in the shower, than getting on my knees to pray as the water from the shower was still running, and i was still crying. I didn't wanna pray, but after i did, it was like this weight had been lifted. I realized that i was just expecting God to help me with my problems instead of asking! All i had to do was ask, and God has been showing me in small ways ever since than (about 2 weeks ago) that he is here, and he is helping me. I bought a bible today and made me so happy. I think as Christians, we can become very dependent upon God to just fix our problems and provide help where help is needed, and really all we have to do is ask and God will provide. God showed me a really cool verse a few days ago as i was sitting in Bible class and it is 1 Corinthians 10:13. It says: No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it." This verse has changed my life because now, when i go to do things i shouldn't be doing, i remember it and i think about how God has made me strong enough to bear this temptation. God is good.
