    Take a breath. Look at how far you've come. Brush it off, pick yourself back up, and keep fighting through God's good grace. Never said you'd never fall or stumble at least a couple times on this journey, never said things would be easy or simple, but what can be said is that it will all be worth it when all has been said and done in the end, if you can endure it. I love the challenge and the adversity, it lets me know I'm alive even if the other side thinks it will defeat me. No retreat, no surrender. How do you compromise on the truth that you've tasted and know in your heart?

    Read the Word of God. PRAY! Keep on praying & don't stop no matter what. This is where faith comes in.

    A book that helped me on prayer was "Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie Omartian. Very good and encouraging.

    Jesus Loves you so much. He wants the best for you.

    Here's the father's love letter for you.

    A good video I watched was "How great is our God" by Louie Giglio. It is on youtube.com in 15 different parts. It really is worth watching. It really was touching & WOW!

    Sometimes. Especially in this place. When I feel that way, I go for a long walk, reset, and then go back home and read something useful for awhile. And stay away from some of the mindless drones in here for a day or so.

    I can throw in the towel, but then I remember I have too much that needs to be done.

    Try to find strength and hope within your own self. Become aware of the indomitable spirit of the universe in your own consciousness, seek help from within and it will be given.

    Why ?

    Because God is within our own selves.

    I know everything is circular-What goes up must come down...and vice versa-wait for the next 'phase' (also why I don't believe or can see reason in an individual deity)

    Since this is in the religious section, I'm going to say: pray.

    pray to whoever you believe in, hopefully they can help you through your trials and doubts.

    Also, if you believe in hell, think of that too, and how much you don't want to be there for eternity, and perhaps that will motivate you to become a better ________.

    Personally, I make time for myself and pray more. It helps me a great deal.
