frustrated

[desperado]

i dont know what the problem is, but the last couple weeks have been murder. between rate for hotel being 40 bucks more then i was originally told, finding out i have to take a parent to collosocon to check us in, parents not letting me get the almost complete white out contacts because there somewhat expensive and more so because they would make me look bad, to the car not selling, to falling in the shower and having my knee go straight through the side of the tub and bruising it and pulling a tendon in it at the same time, to haveing 2 huge projects due within the same week, to having parents be butts that week, to almost getting in a fight with the same guy twice (who started it and is wanting it to happen) and having people break us up the second time to not having the car sell and parents wanting to sell it for 1,500 dollars less then its worth. to have freinds ditch you and go over to another of your freinds house. its been a bad week. acctually the entire year has been like this.
i could really use some prayer because im starting to become depressed and angry. and why cant anything go right in my life ever?

dude... a lot of little bad things can ruin anybody's day, week, so forth... ill be praying for you desparado

I'm praying for you.

My youth pastor told me once that if everything in life is smooth sailing, perhaps you should check your heart. He explained that if everything's roses all the time, then you're not being tested, satan's not attacking you because he doesn't see you as a threat. Of course you could just be getting a season of rest, but do you understand what I'm trying to say? Satan saw that Job was a righteous man, and look at what happened to him! What I'm trying to say is that while what you're going through really stinks, you can still take heart. Does that make sense...? *oh well* 'm still praying for you, and I really do hope that things look up.

Well, if your parents are forking over the money for that stuff, then I would just be happy they do so. Though if you're 18 you shouldn't need to be checked in because you are considered an adult, well unless they paid for the room. If that's the case, just be happy man.

Anyways, I know how you may feel; when the world seems to turn it's back on you.

From experience if you look at all the negatives you won't allow any positives to happen. For example, Since 8th grade I've had people make fun of me because of physical features I couldn't contol, so I ended up in fights a lot. I grew up poor, I've never had a girl friend, have built up stress from college, most of my friends have gone out of state for college so I hardly see them, I have a crummy looking car because I can't afford anything better and etc..

When I look at it that way, my life sucks... But on the other hand:
I'm going to college which means I'll get a decent job
My car may not be the best, but it runs and it gets me where I need to go
The situations I've faced growing up have made me a strong person

Although things may not really go my way, I would rather work and fight hard for the things I have then to have everything so easy. Because if everything came easy I wouldn't be able to appreciate the things in my life as much.

I will pray that God helps ease your pain and frustration you feel. Just try to focus on some good, it may help you feel a little better. I know, it's easier said then done, but you never know. I even have times where I'm just so that nothing could ever go right and nothing is working out... But like kirakira said, it may be a way of Satan stirring up the waters. I'll be praying for you.... let us know how things work out. Take care man.
