Yeah I explained some of this stuff on my welcome to the website. But I'll put it in here to for those who haven't read it. 2011 was a really bad year for me, I had major depression (still do just not as bad), my life crumbled down and most my friends hate me. It wasn't a good year my faith slipped for the majority but I know God will forgive me now. I learnt today that my best friend has fallen for a non Christian and they spent last night engaging in sexual activities with him. She is also a Christian and she feels really bad. I spent most of today worrying about her... basically I'm kinda a mess at the mo so general prayer would be appreciated right now. Prayers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thas,

I just want to encourage you my friend. We serve a God who can bring you up out of the worst mess. Psalms ch 2 says He's the lifter up of our head. He can lift your head up in the most depressing situations. He can give you peace in the midst of a storm and He can give you joy in the most depressing times. I'll pray for you that 2012 will be a year of hope, peace, joy, and blessings for you.

And for your friend, know that there is no condemnation, guilt, or shame to those who are in Christ Jesus. Proverbs says that a Just man can fall seven times and rise back up again. God is a forgiver of sins. The scripture says as far as the east is from the west, that's as far as Christ has placed our sins away from us. God sent His son no to condemn the world, but that the world would be saved through Him. Be encouraged, my friend. There is yet hope for you and your friend!
