Hi,
Are you a Christian? If so, I can share some things with you that I have gone through, and how the Lord pulled me through. If you're not a Christian, I will gladly share the Gospel with you.
The specifics of the following story probably will not apply to you, but the lessons I learned may help you.
In January of 2002, after 4 successful years of working for a software company, I ventured out into business for myself. I must say that my business has not been very successful, but it was even worse the first year and a half. During that time, I hardly got any work at all. I was living on unemployment and the odd contract and job here and there.
During this time, Satan constantly bombarded me with thoughts of "loser" and "failure". I started to believe it, and it was depressing. But God started to teach me a valuable lesson.
That lesson is "walk by faith, not by sight".
God wanted me to trust in His truth and His word, not the lies of that evil rat bastard Satan. And the truth of God's word is that all Christians are victorious, not failures. But that's hard to believe when every physical circumstance in your sight tells you the exact opposite.
So, through God's grace, instruction and the Holy Spirit, I decided to put my faith in the truth - the truth found in the Bible. Satan used the physical circumstances around me to try to convince me I was a total failure and loser. But from studying God's word, I know that I am not a failure or loser - I am "more than conqueror" and I have "victory in Jesus", not "I WILL have victory in Jesus", but "I HAVE victory in Jesus". it all really came down to making this decision:
In whom do I choose to trust: Satan, the "Father of Lies", who hates me and has, from day one, tried to destroy me and my faith, or God, who loves me and always speaks the truth?
I chose the latter, and learned to look past the physical circumstances and see Christ. In Him do I trust. He has never failed me and never will.
And that is what I urge you to do. Put your faith in Christ and know that He loves you and will work great things through you if you allow Him to, depsite what Satan throws at you. Just keep the eyes of your heart and spirit focused on Christ.
