i know the weight of this world can take you down like gravity.

I know it's hard to be strong.  I know it's hard to fight for what's right.  I know some days you just want to give up.  I know there's times when you question everything you've ever believed.  I know you wonder if this is for real.  I know... 'cause I've been there.

Some people get the idea that I'm "super Christian".  That I never do anything wrong or mess up.  That I have that mountain-moving kind of faith.  But, um, NEWSFLASH! ...besides the fact I've accepted grace and try to live by it, I'm just like everybody else.

I feel unwanted.

Alone.

Insecure.

Confused.

Mistreated.

Annoyed (sometimes to the point I want to rip my hair out).

And just plain angry.

The world can do that to you.  Rude people, a magnet falling on your head and breaking (yeah, that happened to me... don't ask..), having so many bruises from volleyball you look abused, getting in argument with your mom, having a biology teacher that grades so harsh you make a 75... they can bring you down.  Or maybe you're going through something that's worse -- a fight with a friend, anorexia, depression, losing a loved one.  I don't know what you're going through.  But He does.  And He hears you. He'll break open the sky for you.  Just ask.
