Received message from God, need help understanding.

Hi, everybody! It has been a few months since this happened, and I’ve been trying to figure out what it could mean since then. I (F21) work at a gas station and often wonder about what my future will look like. I’ve been depressed, questioning if I’ll always be stressed and unhappy or if things will change for me. I also put in the work, I’m going to school and being responsible to try and help myself.

One night, it was about 10:30 pm and I was at the gas station alone closing up. A man came in who I had never seen before. He told me that he didn’t even need gas or anything, but God had told him to pull in and come inside and tell me “it’s not going to get any better.” He said he was sorry that that was the message, but wished me goodnight and left immediately after that.

At the time, I did not believe in God, but was curious and questioning it. However, I did fully believe that this was a message from God/A higher power/etc. My mom had an experience similar and told me about it multiple times growing up, as well as other people around me. I currently do believe in God and am working to study the bible. I understand that some messages are hidden/cryptic or not exactly what they seem at first. I at first took the message at face value, but felt like it’d just be cruel for God to tell me that my life won’t get better, especially since I’ve had some dark thoughts about that. I considered that it may only be the first half of the message, with the full being “It’s not going to get any better [if you don’t work to fix it/if you don’t believe in God/if you continue in your current circumstances, etc].”

Since then, some of my circumstances have changed, including where I work and my religious beliefs. However, as I get closer with God, this message keeps coming back to me and I just can’t get it off my mind or stop thinking about it. I feel like this means I need to reflect on it more, which I have, but I can’t think of any other meaning. Please help.

TLDR: God told me “it’s not going to get any better.” It’s been months and I still don’t know what that means.
