Neo sairys is right.
Don't pretend that it doesn't bother you.
YOu don't have to be religious to talk to God.
Like I told you on the phone, there are many people who are very religious but they are not very good people.

God, in reality, doesn't care about religion.
He just wants you to get close to Him.
And one of the surest ways to do that is through prayer. And I'm not talking about 100 Holy Marys. That's not prayer, that's just repetition.

Prayer, in reality, is the simple act of "talking to God". Many think it's complicated. In reality, it's not.

Before this year came in, I wasn't doing too good.
Jeannette told me to go somewhere I'd know no one would interrupt me and to have a one-on-one with God, through Jesus. She told me to tell Him exactly I how feel. (Of course, without disrespecting Him, but to tell Him).

Jesus already knows how sad and angry you are about what just happened. But since He wants to establish a relationship with you, He wants YOU to tell Him anyway.

That's what I did.
I went outside at night, in my backyard and that's what I started to do. I started to tell Him how I felt. I told Him how angry I was and how worthless I felt. Yes, I yelled. Yes, I was angry and let Him know how angry I was. I cried, literally. And after I told Him exactly how I felt about my situation that's when I asked Him to show me the way.

The relationship I have with God it's a whole lot more than Creator and Creation. It's alot more than just Father and Daughter. It's friendship.

I'll always be here if you ever need something. And I'm sure that everyone else who truly loves you will be too. But, go to God first.

Over the years, I had put too much faith on humans. And when I've been let down, human beings aren't perfect, I would suffer greatly for it and did fall into a depressed state. It just happened one day while I was in one of those states that I was alone crying because I felt nobody loved me. I sat down alone and with no idea what to do. I remembered I had a mini Bible in my purse and took it out with no idea what I was going to do. I just opened it and there it was, the answer to my problems: Romans chapter 8. Which talks about walking in the Spirit and not the flesh. I realized in that moment that I was putting too much faith in human beings (including friends) than putting my faith in God.

You don't have to do it right now but when you do feel like doing it, find a place where you can be by yourself and talk to Him. Be sincere with Him. And even if you want to tell Him that you think He's being unfair, then tell Him so. Now, after you've done all that, be prepared to listen.

Be strong but don't pretend things don't bother you.

Love you alot,
Maritza.
