Phillipians 4: "6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you."
10 How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ,[c] who gives me strength. 14 Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty."

I know that was probably something you have heard alot from your preacher, or your parents. "Trust Christ." It probably seems like a worn out phrase. If Christ cares about me, or even exists, why won't He come and save the day? That is probably one of the most troubling questions that someone can ask, either as a Christian or an atheist, and one that drives many from believing. The problem is not in Christ, but in people's own hearts. Christ didn't leave you, you left Christ, or didn't come to Him at all. You can't expect someone to randomly come and do everything for you. Christ has it in His power to fix everyhting, and sometimes does, but He expects you guys, and myself included, to not only accept Him as Savior, but work to change. Laziness is God's least favorite thing. If you are not willing to change, you have no right to say life stinks. It stinks because you can't make the simple move of trusting Christ, and talking to a doctor, parent, youth pastor, pastor, counselor, etc. God gave us brains for a reason, and He's probably wanting to use yours to examine your heart and contemplate whats wrong with YOU not anyone else. If you have doubts in God, they are just thoughts. God is Hope, and Christ is Your one true friend, but you have to accept Him as such. Get Him as your Savior, and start going to a church (not a crazy hateful one. yes people misuse God's word), listen to some Christian bands, but equally importantly, help yourself. Talk to a respected person who you can trust, or if you can't trust someone, trust yourself to find someone. Keep searching for God. don't just read your bible and pray, but ask what you can do to change, and reading the bible and praying will help you. God will give you a person to open up to and get help from. pray for them, and look yourself. Most importantly trust Christ, and never give up. There is no reason to give up when there is one option you haven't tried, or you decided to stop trying because things didn't happen your way. It's Christ. If you think your worthless or ugly or useless, then ask Christ to be your savior. He uses not only the popular and the strong, but the young and the meek and the outcasts to do His work. heck look at His disciples. todays equivalent would be a group of poor kids and younger men who had no lives, and were not exactly the people iwth the most friends. sometimes those popular people are used by God, sometimes not, but God likes to change steretypes around. He hates racism, and other ism words that involve hate. He is love, and healing.
