How can I be happy again? I have had so much happen to me and I just cant b happy, even when I spend time with God, i just cry.

Answer

Hi Emily!
I’m sure this won’t be what you want to hear.. but God never said we would be happy in this life.  Now, He does promise us a never-ending joy because of the new life we receive through Christ!
Happiness is only temporary because it depends on our circumstances and situations, which are ever-changing, and never truly fulfilling and satisfying.  True joy comes from our Father, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God has given you emotions for a reason, so even when you’re having your “Jesus time”, it’s okay, and even good, to cry!  God loves you and wants you to tell Him your afflictions, anxieties, worries, burdens, and fears.
•1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast your cares on Jesus for He cares for you.”
•Isaiah 41:10 says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.  Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  I will hold you up with My victorious right hand.”
If you haven’t been to church in a while, you really should go ♥️ You were CREATED for gospel-centered community.  Even God Himself has community in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We love you here and we will absolutely pray for you!  But your soul and your mind don’t just crave, but need other Jesus-loving people.  And those people need you too ♥️  Jesus came that we may have life.  But not just life, but an abundant life; one of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  With blessings on top of blessings.
Oftentimes, however, our human eyes and heart can only look around and see the devastation , hurt, injustice, greed, and ugliness of this life.  So we need to ask God to open the eyes of our heart and to see our lives as He does; with an eternal lens.
Dear Emily, I am so sorry to hear that things are so difficult.. but your Father has not forgotten nor abandoned you.
Dig into His word.  He is pursuing you and drawing near to you daily!  If you haven’t yet, I would recommend downloading the YouVersion app.  It’s a Bible app that also gives daily devotionals.  You can search by topic or emotion and there are many to choose from.
I’ll be praying for you ♥️ Keep fighting the good fight!

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I know how hard life can be. Have you ever gone to a Christian therapist? It's always helped me.

Answer

In the Ecclesiastes 3 it talks about there’s a time for everything including time to weep and laugh. Each tears from our eyes becomes words in Gods ears. God never takes for granted everything you give to Him . 
This also applies back to psalms 42 where we have to learn encourage to ourself in The Lord. There’s moments that it’s only You and God. But I would definitely encourage you to find a church where you can find structure and unity. We aren’t made to walk this path alone but to help one another through Jesus Christ.
God bless.
