So I don't really know what's been going on here. I haven't had the time to check and keep up. But, I wanted to reach out. So obviously with everything going on in our world today, I'm actually pretty scared. See, my life has been really hard. I've got an extremely difficult past filled with lies, abuse, rejection, neglect, and hopelessness. I just wanted some prayer because I don't understand why God gave ME this life. I don't understand His plan and everything that I've suffered. But, I just wanted some prayer because I've decided to reopen my heart to Him, even though I don't understand what He's doing.

I used to ask similar questions. Not understanding why God “allowed” things to happen to me. But God has given us all free will, that means even people who choose to reject Him and hurt others. Ultimately because He wanted us to choose a genuine relationship with Him (or not). All throughout scripture He tries to set things right and help His people, and all throughout scripture they distance themselves from Him, choosing earthly sinful pleasures instead. His heart is never for us to be hurt, His will is for us to bring heaven to earth so we hurt as little as possible. Paraphrasing here, “Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your WILL be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.” His desire is for earth to look like Heaven, which is why Jesus healed the sick, set the captives free, and beat death for us. None of that yuck in heaven! Having a relationship with the Holy Spirit will allow you to pray just as Jesus did, because the same Spirit that rose Him from the dead, is alive in all of His children! And there are beautiful promises He gives to His children, like no matter what the enemy has used to hurt us, God will work all those things together for the good of those who love Him. I’ve walked alongside of someone who has walked through more human tragedy than anyone I know, but God has been faithful to work all of that tragedy for her good in ways that make no earthly sense. Trust that whatever broke your heart, broke His too. But also trust that He can and will use all of those hard things for your good and His glory if you continue to press in and pursue Him.

This is my comfort in my distress, that your promise gives me life.
Psalm 119:50

“God is looking for imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-moment dependence on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies, fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with 'surviving' and have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life.”
