So, here's a few words of my journal through my days of crisis, I hope you find it helpful:
Remember God loves you even when you are having a rough day. Not every day feels completely blessed, and you may have done nothing to cause all of this. But, don't go backwards. Continue to move forward. When we are in love with the past, it is more difficult to go through the pain of obedience. Did you know obedience to God often causes pain? It does but His promise to you is that He will heal it if you can hang in there and make it up the hill.
In your pain, you will want to contact people you shouldn't, but reach out to God instead. When you do this, He is so proud of you. You must keep moving forward. Pain endures for the night but joy comes in the morning. There is joy on the other side of this. You are making the journey from the past to the future and it hurts. But staying in love with a dysfunctional past hurts worse. You are on a path out of the pain. You are on a path out of the pit. You cannot go back to your old destructive ways.
God will gather you up in his arms. You are not alone. You are not unloved. You have the heart of the Most High God. Yes, your heart is connected to God and yes, His spirit lives in you. He loves you dearly. He doesn't want you settling for a pain-filled life anymore, my dear.
God will guide you through all of this. He loves you dearly. You are his daughter. He goes ahead of you and creates favor for you because He loves you so much. You are confused over a few things, I know. But God has much in store for you still. Right now, simply praying "Thy will be done" is sufficient. You don't need to reason it all out. Simply "Lord, thy will be done".
You can rest and relax tonight. You are getting tired, so sleep is a good thing. When you are tired, there's no need to push harder or do more. Rest you mind, including your thoughts, Don't try to work through your thoughts, You are off the clock in all aspects, mind included. Everything needs to rest in God.
Don't worry about what others think of you. Just be present and thoughtful. Connect. Listen. Laugh. Love. These things will bring you no regrets and shine your light - the light God has put inside of you. You are strong enough to handle this and to do this.
Be open to what God has in store for you. God loves you.
