“God, why me?”
This question runs through my head constantly, bringing me down everyday. I am very self conscious about my body image and appearance. This made my mental health very, very bad. I went to see a counselor and we read scripture together. In Psalm 139:14 He says “we are fearfully and wonderfully created,” and I want you to know that you are.
About 1 year after struggling with this, I lost someone very close to me (my grandpa) and I started questioning God. “God, why me? Why take him?” That’s when everything went downhill for me. I stopped eating and was diagnosed with an eating disorder and anxiety. I started struggling in school. My mental struggle had gotten worse.
Then, I had a blue couch moment, as Matthew would call it. I was on a Zoom call with my friend from a Christian camp, and we fully confessed together. I have been doing a little better and making more progress each day, and that is because God is walking with me each step of the way…just like He is doing it with you.
Never forget–you are worth it!
