I am struggling greatly with many things right now and I could really use prayers. I am confused about a lot of things right now and I dont really want to go into details suffice to say that prayer is the only thing left for me at this point and so I can use all the support in that way that anyone is willing ot give. Thank you for your prayers in advance.

God is always with us. Just keep reminding yourself that He sees you and your sufferings. We need to put full trust in God, no matter what we go through. How do you think the martyrs were able to withstand their sufferings? They put the face of God in front of their hearts' eyes.
With the approach of the Great Lent, it would be a good time to start remembering Christ on the Cross and what He did for us. Then maybe, we wouldn't feel as much pain, if we remember that His pain took on the sins of all the souls from the beginning of time until the end. That means, that He was seeing your pain, when He was on the Cross.
He was seeing you, Juvenaly. He knew who you are and what you are going through. He already had plans for you. So, you must stick to your promise of faith to Him, because He died on that Cross for you, and me and the whole world. Understand?
There's always hope with Jesus Christ, because He can lead you to your salvation...as long as you put your faith in Him.
And tell that little voice of doubt to take a hike...cause we know who he is. Don't let him get the better of you, okay?
I always ask the Theotokos to send her comfort, to ease my soul...the Joy of All who Sorrow. That comfort gives me the energy to go on.
God bless
