Encouraging Bible Verses

I have been having some really bad depression problems. I have been having thoughts of hurting myself and even killing myself. Lately I have felt like no one cares and what’s the point in killing myself. Last night I went to bed and I felt like dying. I picked up my Bible and randomly opened it. It came to Jeremiah and it said: “For I know the thoughts I have toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” In another translation it said: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you  hope and a future.”

 I couldn’t believe that I had randomly read that verse. I have been doing a Bible study on how God is always there; but I hadn’t read this verse recently. I looked through my Bible and I saw a few more verses that helped me immensely  and I thought maybe they will help some of you.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken, cast down, but not destroyed.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Isaiah 40:30-10 “Even though the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait up on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am they God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 43:2 “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overcome thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Job 1:21-22 “And said, naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”

Job 19:25-26 “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that her shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in flesh shall I see God.”

Psalms 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

Psalms 46:1,10 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Be still and know I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalms 119: 105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Psalms 121:1-2 “I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”

Psalms 127:1 “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”

Matthew 11:30 “For my yoke is easy, and my burden it light.”

Matthew 14:27 “But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.”

John 14:1, 27 “ Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Romans 8:28, 31 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. What shall we then say to these things? Of God be for us, who can be against us?”

Ephesians 6:10-11 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 “Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

James 4: 8 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”

1 Peter 5:7 “ Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

It's been Hard

Being  only fourteen most people think that I haven't been through anything hard at all. But that's the opposite of the truth. Here's a few things that I have been hard. I'm African-American, and sometimes I get treated like a piece of crap. I get thrown around and stomped on like I don't haev any feelings; but I do, I have feelings like any other human being. You think that's not hard? think again. Two years ago in the January of 2010 my life changed drastically. You know how we're always thinking that the new year will bring a better year than the last? Well...that's not always true. On January 2, my dad went into the hospital with some major heart issues. It turned out he was going to need some major surgery. While we we're going through that I experienced one of the hardest things I will ever experience. We usually go to church every Sunday morning and night. But once the evening service came, my mom was sick and so was my dad. I had this friend, who was older than me, but was my hero. She had had cancer for a few years, but during all that time I never heard her complain about the pain. I guess I knew she wasn't going to make it when I first met her, I just never figured she should die. Then on January 10, 2010 my brother got a text from someone from church, My friend, Sis.Heidi, had died. As my mom told me the news I felt as if my heart had broken into a thousand little pieces. I cried so many tears and questioned God for so long. I couldn't understand wyy God would put her in my life and taker her away. I went to bed that night feeling so down and depressed I thought I was going to die. As I let the reality of her death sink in, I became very depressed. Then on top of that my aunt became very sick and went into the hospital. I wanted to go to Sis. Heidi's funeral but couldn't because my dads surgery was the same day. I was really depressed about that until my mom told me that it was better to have all the good memories that see her in a coffin. I questioned God for a long time, then I realized Sis. Heidi;s work her on earth was done.  She had made her mark on everyone she touched and talked to, especially me. Sis. Heidi was my hero and always would be. As I coped with that my aunts health deteriorated, and my mom started spending all her free time with her, and I used all my time praying. I was an eleven year old experiencing my first heartache. Not the kind of heartache that you get when you find out the boy you like doesn't like you back, but a real heartache. The kind where you think you'll never recover. I began to sink deeper and deeper into depression, so much that thoughts of suicide came into my head. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. One the morning of February 3, 2010 after spending the night at the hospital my mom came home to get my sister ready for school. While she was getting ready to go back she got a phone call, my aunt had passed away. I have never seen such a look of pain, anguish and sadness on my mom's face. Usually, I couldn't relate to my mom's problems, but this time I could. I knew what she was going through, and how she felt. I was eleven, I had just lost two very important people in less than a month. You think that's not hard? Think again. So you see, everyone has had their trials and troubles and I've had my share. Thy either make you or break you. And when I thought they broke me they were really making me into a stronger person.

What I Believe In

Today I was in Walmart and there were two teens in front of me. One was pregnant, and she was talking about getting an abortion. I know it's not right to listen in on other peoples conversation, but how could I resist. I wanted to just butt into their conversation and tell them how wrong they were going to be. I wanted to tell them how guilty they would be, but I kept my mouth shut. I walked out of that store, and I felt as if my heart as broken. I am very pro-life, I feel that if everyone alive had the right to life, why shouldn't a unborn baby have that same right. The Bible says "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord." Doesn't that clue us that God is against it? I know other people may not have the same views, in fact some people may be all for abortion. I'm not trying to cram my beliefs down your throat, I'm am just stating facts. I believe in a lot of different things. I believe there is one true God, not five million. I do not believe in Evolution. I do, however, believe in the big bang theory. Your thinking to yourself "The big bang theory and evolution are the same thing." Well...not exactly you see God spoke, and BANG there it was. People always believe what men say, they don't read the Bible and find out the truth for themselves. I don't believe being a Polygamist is right. Honestly, I believe it's just one man being a pervert, just wanting an excuse to sleep when whole bunch of women. But I do believe in things. I believe in the good, old fashioned, Bible. "Sometimes you have to stand up for what's right, even if your standing alone." I have always been taught that no matter what people say or do to me, I need to stand up even if your standing alone. Okay that's it. Again..I'm not cramming anything down your throat, just stating my believes.

Thankfulness

So today in Devotions we were talking about being thankful and it’s not even Thanksgiving. I’m kidding. Personally, myself I have a lot of trouble not complaining because I may not have enough stuff or things like that. Then I remember people are way less fortunate than me. I mean I have everything I need, and then some. And other people have nothing. I should be thankful.

School

I have been home schooled all my life. My mom has home schooled all my siblings for all our life's. Except my sister, Bethany, who is twelve. Bethany, it a very difficult child. If anyone crosses her in the wrong way, she will destroy your property. When Bethany entered the third grade my mom enrolled her in a Christian School, but soon went back to homeschooling because she thought it was best for her. My older brother Ivan, was home schooled until college, and is in his second year of college. My two younger sisters, Alexis and Alyssa, are both in second grade. They are fourteen months apart but they are very smart, so my mom decided they were smart enough to be put in the same grade. I am in the eighth grade and experiencing my hardest year yet. Mostly because I am in a new school curriculum and it's not Christian. Learning about evolution is hard for me to digest. I often find myself standing up and asking the teacher a lot about it, and how she could believe such things when the Bible clearly states otherwise. Usually she tells me she is just doing her job. I absolutely love school, for the most part, but sometimes I wonder how some of the kids can be son disrespectful to the teachers. Some of them blatantly disobey or sass, and most of the time the teachers allow them to. I wonder what happened to respect. For the most part, I do extra curricular activities, Spanish, Writing Class, Gym. Lots of stuff  outside school. Sometimes I miss being home schooled, for reasons such as sleeping in. But for the most part, I need to be public schooled, because I may be the only light some kids need. I may be the only Bible they read.
