MeshRenderer with GUI/Text Shader is always in front of my 3D objects, how do I fix this?

I have a gameobject that is just a meshrenderer with the GUI/Text shader, the reason why it has a GUI/text shader is so that it always renders on top of my particles, so even if you could not see anything because of the particles, you can still see the objects that have the GUI/text shader.

The problem is that I also have 3D object, just a mesh renderer with the default shader nothing fancy, but no matter what I try the GUI objects are always in front of the 3D object while what I want is the 3D object to be above it, I have tried assigning layers by script and all that and moving Z positions but nothing seems to change it any help would be greatly appeciated.
