Or maybe God doesn't like you at all and you are just fooling yourself.
I like these calm little moments before the storm.

Even if it feels like He isn't around you can be sure that he is.
When it comes to asking God for happiness it isn't that God can't do it, it's that God won't do something for us that we can do on our own. We all have the ability to find happiness in life and through God we can do it all the more easily. So open yourself more fully to what he wants you to do for Him instead of what you want Him to do for you.
I've got a very personal view on this subject
About three years ago I was just about atheist, I only went to church because my folks made me go. I hated me and I hated everything around me and I ended up sitting on my bed holding a hunting knife looking at my wrists for about an hour. Obviously I didn't kill myself. I convinced myself that life will always change and that the only permanent thing is death so I kept going. About a year or so after that I started finding God again slowly at first until about a year more I really found Him in me.

Wow....you almost killed your self, I'm so glad you guys left all these wounderful post....I'll keep trying to find that light again maby God Just preparing me for life but sometimes its just so hard....but trutfully I think Gods the thing keeping me alive lots O love *heather*

Look bluegurl, there is a reason and a season for things to happen. Maybe God is just testing you to see if you are willing to growing in this kind of situation. He's always going to be there for you through thick and thin. Just don't loose hope. quote: Originally posted by ampmaster:

Amp, I'm glad you're still here with us. It makes me happy to know that you didn't do it. Look at what you are trying to accomplish with your 'Fallen Angels' project.
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha

Things happen for a reason. Just because your prayers aren't being answered in the way you would like does not mean that God has forgotten about you, it just means that He wants you to come to a resolution to your problems in a certain way. Believe it or not, these difficut times are going to shape your life in the way He intended. God doesn't give us challenges if he doesn't think we can handle it.
