If you are having family problems, searching for God is a good thing to do.  However, most religious people would say that the best way to address family problems would be to see a psychologist or social worker.  Family therapy would be an excellent option.  In familly therapy, they work on the problems of the whole family, not just one or two people.  To find a family therapist, ask your family physician, minister/rabbi, or school counselor.\n\nBest wishes to you!

Trying to find God is not blasphemous.  It fact, God is quite easy to find---he is standing next to you.  All you have to do is reach out and touch him with your heart, and he will expose himself to you and never leave you.

I do, and I try to find something that I can relate to, not just reading any chapter & verse. God works in mysterious ways. Ask him to guide your eyes and fingers to what He wants you to know. Ask Him to speak to you through this devotion time. AND HE WILL...God Bless

I agree. I believe this is where Bible reading, prayer and the Holy Spirit come in. The Bible reading will make you familiar with what doctrines churches should be teaching. Prayer will give to you wisdom, and the Holy Spirit can help you discern and understand, based on fact, what is going on. Good luck to ya!

Here's the thing God is everywhere. He wants to be close to you as well. First you must open you heart to recieve Him Then open your eyes to see His will in your life. You have to be willing and open. Talk to Him daily thru prayer. I am not talking about the prayers people learned as a child but true conversation with God the Father. Tell Him whats on you heart. Yes He already knows but He still wants you to come to Him. Its kind of a parent child relationship. Like I know what my daughter wants but I am not giving it to her till she asks for it. And she doesnt always get what she asks for because I have to do whats in her best intrest. Thats kind of how it works for God. He looks at the request but the answer may not be what you expect. Read the Bible. Start in the New Testament. Its easier. If you need a Bible try the NIV version its easier to understand. Any other question let me know

God will hear whatever you pray. If you think you need to quote bible verses in your prayers on certain subjects, just turn to the back of the Bible where they usually point out where to find phrases for different category of problems for you to refer. From there you select them for your prayers. I am sure you do attend church, go and approach an elder of the church and I am sure they would open their arms to help you. Always bear in mind GOD said in the bible 'Seek and you shall receive'. May GOD bless you and answer your prayers....

Reading the Bible is the single best way of making someone an atheist. Add in a little outside history and the case is done.

Read it yourself, often, and pray about it.  The truth will be revealed to you as you get to know God's word better.  You should take the Bible literally for the most part.  Use your common sense.  There are parts that are merely symbolic.  When Jesus uses parables to illustrate a point, he tells us that's what he's doing.  I think if you study it yourself you will find that God speaks to us through the Bible and that many of the controversial parts are not as complicated as they seem.

Reading the Bible through in different translations helps it to make more sense.  Start with Living Word, then next year, read through in the NIV translation.  In my opinion, too many of us started with the King James, and that is a difficult translation until you get to know the Bible well.\nGood luck and GOD bless, the journey through the Word is worth it.

Doing your devotionals, reading the bible, attending church, being involved in youth group. All those things are great. They will help you grown in your faith, but that's what they do help you grow your  faith. The one question you need to ask yourself is "Have I come to a place in my spiritual life where I am sure I will go to heaven when my life is over here on earth? If you aren't sure you need to get right with God before any of the devotionals ... etc will help.  I am an old man and I don't think our communication would be a good idea.. I recommend a good talk with your youth pastor, ok....  Jim

If you would like to learn about truth, I suggest the King James Bible. Man is very fallible and yet you read man's word before God's.\n\nI would wish you good luck, but you are history.\n\nPsa 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
