Need Help Badly
I may not have life as bad as others, but still am rather depressed from being bullied for 8 of my 13 years of life. This was made much worse with the very recent death of a dog that I have had as far back as my memorie's extent. Truthfully, that dog was almost as much of me as your arm or leg, and I have lost most of my faith in Jesus due to his death. My request is WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodbye.

Aside from finding a trusted adult, your mom or dad are the first that come to mind, turning to Jesus with your lack of faith is probably the best. If I were to give you a reading assignment, it would be to read about Lazarus in John chapter 11. In verse 35 is the popular words, "Jesus wept". Why would he cry? He was grieving, He was moved and troubled by the feeling of loss. We know that He raised Lazarus from the dead, I'm am not going to suggest that He will raise your beloved pet from the dead. I'm hoping you will use this to know that Jesus understands your grief and is there with you, grieving your loss and feeling your pain. He's been there with you for the past 8 years of being bullied. He wants you to turn to Him in your time of need because he understands and wants to give you the strength to continue on through these trials. These times are hard, I won't belittle you by saying that they aren't, or that they will pass. In the moment those words are hollow, I know that. But please know that as you grow into a man, these are the things that will form you and make you who you are. If you take the love of Jesus and lean on Him during the hard times, and there will be more, He will make the easier. Not easy, but He wants to help you through them.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of talking to a trusted adult. They could be clergy, parents, a teacher that listens. It could also be an older sibling. Look around for your resources, you're not alone.
