Are there not times in life when we feel like we are done (I know there are those times for me). When I know for a fact that I have tried everything I can think about, put in every effort a living being can put into making it work; I am not only dreaming, I am also consciously and constantly working my dreams and putting in the determination to make things out of life but no matter what I do, things do not work out and now I am TIRED.

I have had times when my way out was to give in to my failure and not even bother to put in any extra effort. If things would work out, they should of their own accord, I will no longer stress about that particular situation. I have also had times when I blame others for my predicament; if only my parents were rich. Or if only I was born differently, so fat or if only I wasn't such a failure. If only I had the required strength and resources.
As a young child, I didn't have a lot of luxury and I blamed my parents for most of my shortcomings. When I grew up and became responsible for myself, I blamed society for the things that were not working well in my life. It was certainly easy to blame others for my mishap because it meant I didn't have to be responsible for my own problems or shortcomings.
When I got wiser (a little bit), I realized that I was responsible for everything that happens in my life (definitely not in a way that omits God). And the moment I start to take responsibility for what happens and stop blaming other people, things started to turn out well.
One of the major things I have struggled with for so long is my weight (was very insecure, I still am {a Lil bit}), the moment I understood what it meant to want to look better and stop blaming it on insecurity and nothing helps; it became an easy task.
Also, there is a popular saying that "Heaven helps them that help themselves"(TOTALLY WRONG), it is at the time of complete lost that we go to God and tell Him that I am completely hopeless and helpless. As in, "Papa, I don't know where else to go or what else to do"
When all hope is lost, He is our sure refuge.
So when you are looking for a way out, call on God, believe in your ability, take responsibility for your life (nobody is responsible for your woes), the devil is only as powerful as you let him.
Remember, suicide is never a way out, you have a father in heaven who has your back come rain come shine.
Go forth and prosper.
