As human beings we each have our own struggles, our own things we need to face, whether it be family problems, boy troubles, money troubles, stress, school, feeling horribly ugly feelings, we all face them.

Lately I have found that my struggles, as of late, are practically minor to a lot of people I know. I have come to feel pain for those who suffer. It's not the same pain as them. It's different, it's a lot different. I see people suffering and a lot of times I just wish I could run to them, fix everything for them, make them happy. But a lot of times I can't and it hurts. Weird I know. I feel so useless some days. A plate of cookies and a card with being a good friend is all I can do for them, I wish I could do so much more than that, because hurting stinks.   

I, myself, have felt pain. Pain that makes me not want to get up in the mornings, not to do things, to be mean to others because I myself am in pain, I've wanted to do nothing. There were times when I felt like I couldn't go on because of one stupid thing, or a few words that slipped out from someones mouth. No one knew how I felt. No one has suffered the exactly same things that I have. No one has felt that hurt and pain and the uselessness and all the other negative emotions that I have felt. No one has been there to comfort me in my lowest moments of life. No one, except one. He has always been there for me even when I didn't think he was. He was the one that fueled me with the desire to keep going, He was the one that comforted me when no one else knew, or was there. He knew all those horrible moments, all my mistakes, all my pain; He's felt them all, He's experienced them all with me.

So this is for all those who are in a moment of suffering, even if it's something small, for those who see no light in a dark tunnel, no end to their suffering, no hope. There is one person who can take that all away from you, one person who can comfort you beyond the ability of someone else. He will take anything away no matter how small, no matter the matter. :) He's there with you through the thick and the thin. He loves you no matter what, and He will hear you no matter what. His love is infinite, it never wavers.

I don't talk much about my religion on here, and I wish I did it more often. But I'm part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I will never be ashamed of it. So in case you didn't get who I was talking about I'll tell you. He is my brother, my savior, my redeemer, He is Christ. I love Him with all my heart and that will never change. I hope that everyone who reads this post (I don't even know if anyone but a few of my friends and my family will read it) but I hope someone will find comfort if they need it.

A friend once said to me "Pray. That's all the advice I've got for you. Pour your heart out to the Lord, and he will help you. He's in control." He truly is. "When I life is too hard to stand; kneel." And it works, I've felt the power of prayer multiple times in my life, I can testify without hesitation that prayer is a wonderful device to help us. "He may not come when we call, but He will come on time."
