"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not foresaken; struck down, but not destroyed." ~1 Corinthians 4:8-9


Struggling-

Everyday, we all face struggles; some are small, and some seem absolutely massive. They happened yestereday, they happen today, and they will happen tomorrow. God tells us this, that everything isn't going to perfect all the time. He also promised that we wouldn't go through them alone. No matter how hard anything seems, it will be okay, despite what you think.

As teenagers, we have a lot to carry. I don't know about you guys, but I stress out about school a lot. I'm one of those people that will cry if they get an F on a test. Unfortunately, it seems like the curricular is getting harder and harder. But I trust that God will lead me through it, and I know I'm going to make it out alive, Also, teenage girls have hormones. I know this is one of the things that people don't talk about, but we have to deal with periods (depending on your age). And let me tell you, if I'm on my period, I'm usually not the nicest person. And, a small thing like knocking a my pencil off of my desk can send me into tears. Periods are actually in my prayer box, because they are a serious struggle for some girls,

My point is, this struggles can seem miles tall when in reality they are only a couple of inches. And honestly, whatever you're facing now that seems like your world is going to fall apart over, you won't even remember in 20 years because you'll be facing brand new struggles. Even though our struggles are never-ending, God isn't either. He tells us to give Him our burdens, and He will take care and bless His children. Take a moment now and pray to Him, asking Him to lift your struggles off of your shoulders.

For this chapter, I am not going to write a prayer. We all have completely different struggles, so I think this one should be a bit more personal.
