Turning To God Will Change Your Life

Slowly by surely.

Life is tough. And sometimes it gets tough when you least expect it.

You may feel helpless or like nothing will get back to normal. I'm not going to lie, it's going to be tough. But God never gives you anything you can't handle. Trust him and trust yourself.

If you haven't prayed out loud before, I strongly recommend it. Find a place you can do this: your car, your room, the shower, or even the kitchen. Just find a comfortable place and pray to him. Talk to him like you would talk to your friends or family.

You may see your prayers answered quickly, and you may not. Just know that God is listening and that he has a plan for you and for your journey. Whatever you are going through is going to be OK.

Listen for God. Look for the signs. You will be surprised how often he communicates with you.

Be honest with yourself and honest with God. He already knows what you're going through, just tell him how you're feeling about it.

Just talking to him will make you feel so much better.

Turn to God and watch your spirit and energy change.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
