My Name Is _________, But You Can Call Me Distrust

I grew up in a Lutheran family, going to church weekly and a Lutheran school from 1st-8th grade. I loved learning all I could about Scripture and doctrine, and I actually wanted to become a pastor.
A couple years into high school, things really changed. There were a couple stupid, typical high school problems that I let bother me. I imagined I would be happier if things went as I wanted them to, but they never really did. I interpreted this as God not really caring much about me. So, I started to trust God less and less. I wouldn't say I lost faith right away, but as I lost trust, faith diminished with it. I didn't take concerns to God in prayer and I didn't care to think about faith or religion.
Things (as I saw them) kept getting worse, and I used several addictions to effectively replace faith. Most often, I would just hurt myself when I felt depressed, just because the physical pain made it impossible to think about anything else.

Through all of this, I had always been into music. Thankfully, a friend showed me a band called For Today. They're a Christian band, and they're all very knowledgeable about God and open to talking with people about faith. It was their second album that changed my life. (Particularly this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tOLCDYyOvM)

I went to see them live, and that experience is probably what saved my life, physically and eternally. I wish I knew how to describe it better, but I'm fully confident that it was during that moment when the Holy Spirit changed me. I know a lot of people think differently about how exactly faith comes about, and I'm sure some would say this is exaggerated. But, honestly, I felt physical, emotional, and spiritual elation like I had never imagined. It was undeniable to me that the Spirit of the Lord was working miracles in that place, through the most faithfully passionate man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've considered myself Christian and haven't doubted God's love since that day.
