    God has a plan for all of us. He puts us through all sorts of experiences that we learn from... that we BUILD from... everything that happens to us is MEANT to happen. That is His way. You have to have faith in Him. He will give you the hope and strength through everything if you just really believe that He will.

    Sounds like you need God now the most of all. Try going to church more if you don't now, reading the bible, and praying! Pick a time of the day that works to be alone and pray and read the bible and stuff. This will help to calm you and to make your relationship with God stronger. Then everything else will fall into place.

    Well maybe you never had a relationship with God in the first place. It's one thing to read it, but do you really believe the Bible? Do you believe Jesus was the Son of God? If not then ask Him into your heart.

    If you already have though, then maybe God is trying to show you something. Maybe you need to go back and look at what you're doing. Maybe something isn't necesarilly wrong, but it's hindering your walk with God.

    Or maybe He wants to see how much you're willing to persevere. How much you really want what God has for you.

    Romans 5:1-5

    Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

    Romans 12:12

    Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

    maybe God is trying to call you closer to Him by showing you how futile and unfullfilling other things can be (not saying that other things aren't important)

    If you are a reader, I highly recommend this book to you...

    It will give you a completely different perspective on life and the things you go through and God's part in your life...

    I'm a reader and it has always been one of the most memorable books I have ever read... its called "The Sacred Romance" by John Eldrige....(don't let the title fool you into thinking its about dating etc... its MUCH deeper then that)

    and just remember to hold onto faith, hope and love....its what you need to stay in and be successful in this game of life.

    Sounds like you're reaching a crossroad in your life. Maybe some counseling should be in order. Just to talk to someone knowledgeable can help tremendously. I've questioned my faith as well. It's not uncommon. You're okay. You can just use a little guidance and help in your life right now.

    take a look around,,,everything you see is courtesy of the Creator. look for miracles even when the situation seems hopeless. do random acts of kindness,,you'll feel so much better for doing so. think as tho your cup is half full, instead of half empty. look at those around you and realize that there are always going to be others in much worse situations than you. God works in mysterious ways.

    Maybe just a sad slump, your body puts you through depression sometimes because your body is fitted for survival, not making you happy. Its one of those times where it's like "hey slow down, be sad for a bit and move on later"

    Try and truck it through for now, if it gets really (really really) bad, think of medication, but not everyone needs that.

    I doubt this is a faith thing, just some recoup time

    You poor dear...faith is like that sometimes. At times you believe with your whole heart and at others you can't see the sense in it at all. I think that sometimes you just have to keep going through the motions and wait for your faith to catch up with you.

    It sounds like you may be depressed. Have you seen a dr lately? You need to do an inventory of your life...are you sleeping enough? Do you take time to do things you enjoy? Do you spend enough time outside?

    The St. Jude prayer (he is the patron saint of hopeless causes and things almost dispaired of) has always helped me feel better at times when my faith is running low -

    "O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, people honor and invoke you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am so helpless and alone. Please help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (state your request) and that I may praise God with you always."

    "I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you by publishing this request. Amen."
