I have read some of the answers you give others. i'm impressed with your advise you give.\n\n See if you can get a friend that is a good person, and go to a church or, talk with someone you know that is envolved with a church. Go with them. They have so so so many study guides and tapes to keep you busy and educated in the Word. there are websites that have outstanding ministries, they have tape rentals. It's like a book club. You can send off and rent tapes of different Ministers of who you like. they would like a "Donation", for the rental. It's up to you. They mail them to you. You send them back, they mail you more if you like. I have done it for years. It really is neat. I always have a blank tape. I record the tape I listen to. I will always have it.\n Your on a good road. I hope you stay on it.\n\nGod Bless You.  Good Luck.\n\n.

I can see that you are not having all the fun that you can stand.\nWhen or if you decide to recieve Christ as your Saviour then life will take on some meaning and you will begin to understand what is going on here on planet earth.  When you die, it either gets very very good or very very bad.

You will need to check all directions and guidance from what the Bible teaches anyway so one of the best things you can do is to read and study and familiarise yourself with The Bible - a bit like the Bereans in Acts17/11.\n\nGod through the Holy Spirit is able to guide and lead and open your understanding, especially through The Bible. Just ask Him, and watch and pray.\n\nHaving said that it can be very helpful to have someone who can help spiritually and I strongly suggest you pray to God Himself to provide you with someone suitable. He is well able and it would be a good spiritual excercise to place it in His hands and wait on Him for His answer while you look.\n\nIn addition, if you are able to meet with other Christians that can be very encouraging and helpful and probably it is best to take time to get to know them to find out who is trusworthy and Biblically sound.\n\nMay God's provision prevail.

You need to reach out to Him! The Lord hears all, and you need Him! Start by SINCERELY and very truly repenting for your sins and the sinful life you have lived. Understand and admit that God is your only saviour and that you realize you need His help, unconditional love, and guidance. He will not let you fall and he calls out to you even when you feel you cant here Him. It is very true that you will feel Him in your heart and he will bring you comfort, healing, and peace, plus so many other wonderful things, but sometimes there is a point where we cant just feel everything. If we know we have made things right with God, then we have to trust His word. Start getting into His word and trusting Him. Whatever that music was, if you think it would not please God or doesnt bring you hope or contribute faith, get rid of it! There have been times when I would not let things go, and though God will work on this with you, it holds back your growing and maturity with God. All negative media does. Leave it alone, and if it is hard, ASK God, he CAN and WILL answer and do what is best to help you. He helps me everyday! What kind of God would ask so much and then not be willing to help you in return? He WILL my friend! Read your bible  for more faith! \nBeing reborn means that you will be born into a completely different life. You might be ignorant, or for a nicer word, unaware of these new things, but God is the master and you also need to know that you cannot fulfill his tasks without Him helping you and directing. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, especially not you. He is calling out YOUR very name, and He becons you to the a life of eternity. I hope that you will run after this call, fight the struggle, and not a battle but a War, and live FRUITFUL, which was the joyess experience I so wonderfully came upon! Dont listen to those who try to push you away from him. Let Him cleanse you and refresh you of this dirtiness and unholyness which has tried to consume all since Adam and Eve. Satans works. Though The devil will fight for you, and those who dont listen to God hear satan much more, and you are no match against him, no christian is, but with God he stands NO chance. There is going to be temptation, but put it ALL in God's hands. He will speak to you and make changes in your life! Last I think, you are not alone. Always talk to God, nothing is too small for Him or too big for Him to handle ever, and talk to other christians, they will welcome you to lean on them, and will be sure to pray for you! Start going to church! And any burden that is too heavy for you to carry, like forgiving, serious situations, give them to God. He loves to handle these things, and is sooo pleased with you when you hand them over to Him!  \nTrust me, the bible (in better words) says the more of the word you let in, the more evil comes out. God is not sitting back, trust me, he has an incredibly special and fulfilling plan for you full of so many things! He is all powerful and will change your life around once you seek it and bring it to Him, like it seems you are going to do now.  He has already started on me, and I am so excited! Let Him in your heart, to break down those walls. Make yourself a living, breathing sacrifice for Him. Dont worry, it's all step by step. He starts out slow! Like David! My pasture was preaching one sunday about David's process. "Before the giant, the bear, the lion and the palace, he was just a sheepherder." lol Which is no shame! You dont have to worry, because God is going to take care of all this, and I will make sure to pray for you as well! \nI hope all this helped, NEVER GIVE UP! God will supply you with everything you need, and sees better than anyone on the internet can! He knew all your going through would happen before you even knew, he was just waiting for you to seek Him. God could have made us like christian robots, but He loved us, and he gave us a choice to love Him back. By the w

Good Morning! You mentioned that you are religous, this may be part of the problem. Jesus warned us to beware of religous leaders, and He was persecuted by them. Most religions of this day and age, would still not welcome Him, in my humble opinion. Now to the point:\n\nJesus said if you ask anything, of The Father, through His name,  with just a small measure, of faith, you will receive it. Try getting on your knees, confessing your sins to God, asking Jesus to truly enter your heart, and to give you faith. The New Testament also says we have not because we ask not. Ask Him, and I am sure He will answer.\n\nAnother reason may be that you are not truly surrendered to Jesus. You may have went through the motions, but did you truly ask Jesus to enter your heart, be Lord of your life, and surrender everything to Him?\n\nYour works may be lacking. The Bible clearly states that "Faith without works, is dead." Dont get me wrong, works wont save you,  but they will increase your faith. God's word says it. Try to do more for the Kingdom of God. Help someone, or some people. Be nice to someone whom every one else is mean to. Volunteer at a local charity, homeless shelter, or a mission. Knock on doors, and spread the Good News. If you feel too shy to do this, hand out tracts. There are many ways to work for God. Look around, they are not hard to see.\n\nLastly, you are still young. Your testimony may not be developed enough. You are being bombarded with the ways of the world, where the path of destruction is. The world is saying belief in Christ is ridiculous, and that man is his own god. Everywhere you turn, you see evil, and blasphemy. Until you are gropunded in your belief in Christ, these worldly matters will cause you to have doubts.\n\nRead your Bible, and pray, each and every day. Try to learn as much as you can from the Bible, it is your sword, a part of the armour every Christian needs. Get grounded in God's Word, learn things on your own, dont wait for someone to teach them to you. You will be waiting a long time to learn what you need, if you rely on a religion, or on any other person to teach you. In The Book of James, God tells us, if we lack wisdom, to ask of Him, and He will give it to us.\n\nI hope this helps. Its really early, and I just learned, at 3:15 that my step dad has died. His passing was horrible. He had liver cancer, and was in extreme pain, especially the last 4 days. However, I know, for a fact, he settled his eternal issue, with God, and that when his eyes closed here, they opened in paradise, and he is not hurting anymore, and that he never will hurt again, because of the fact that he surrendered his heart and life to Jesus Christ.\n\nIf I can be of further help, please send me an email. I will be glad to help.\n\nYours Truly, \nOld Soldier \n\nP.S. Dont get me wrong about religion. Not all are off the track. Settle your issues with God, and find a truly Bible based church, where you feel comfortable. The Bible says, "you will know them by their fruit", seek and find out the character of the church, before you join, just dont stop seeking and become a lone ranger Christian. The Bible says that we are to not "forsake the gathering of ourselves", so be sure to find a good Bible based church. God Bless you!

A lot of people have replied to this question by saying that you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, welcoming Jesus into your heart and life, and admitting you are a sinner and asking for forgiveness.\n\nThese are good starts, but these are ONLY a start.  To be a Christian means to be Christ to others.  Read the Gospels and see what Jesus did.  He forgave people, he fed the people, he cured them of ailments that kept them from being part of society.  These are the things we must do if we are to be Christian.  Read the 25th Chapter of Matthew and you will see what you must do.\n\nBeing a Christian is more than just believing, it is DOING.

One cannot become a Christian or be a member of Christ's Church without doing the following:\n\n1) Believe John 3:16\n2) Publicly Confess Jesus as the Son of God Matt. 10:32- \n33 \n3) Repent of your sins Luke 13:3, Acts 2:38\n4) Be baptized for the remission of sins Mark 16:16, Acts\n2:38\n5) Live faithfully\n\nI am glad that you had the courage to ask such a question, I hope this helps. God bless!

Pray, and give God thanks for what you do have - even if it is only His grace! As it is written, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."\n\nI also recommend reading the Psalms....great men of God like King David also went through periods of great despair.\n\nOh, one more thing...regarding the "good guys never win" comment....keep in mind that the finish line is not here, it is in heaven. And so as it is written, "Many who are last will be first and many who are first will be last..." Jesus Himself didn't appear to "win" here on earth (to those with worldly eyes)...but truth be told He triumphed.\n\nGod Bless....

Go to a church which teaches the bible. You might have to try a few before you settle on one that you like. It does wonders for me. Also, listen to music, exercise and never give up.

Read the book of I John.  Then read the gospels.\n\nJesus overcame death so that there does not need to be fear of death.\n\nIt's not about how good you are.  It's about how good He is.\n\nI'm sorry that this has you up nights.  I hope you make peace with God and with yourself soon.

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."\n\nPhilippians 4:6-7

I think it's normal to live in this world and fear God's will. It's pretty hard to do some of the things he requests of us. Just be certain that it his will and obey his command. He will never leave you. If you do have a personal relationship with Christ than he will ask much of you. You will always be rewarded for trusting in him.

Haven't you heard of the word REPENTANCE? Confess your sins and ask [even beg!] for forgiveness from the ones whom you have wronged and then from God. Then promise to sin no more...\n\nPeace be with you!

Jesus paid the penalty for our sins.  Pray to Him that you need Him to live a good life.  He said to be holy and that no one will enter the Kingdom of God unless you are born again. That comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Pray to Him (GOD) from your heart and He will answer you. Be like a child when you pray.  Humble. After all you will be talking to \nGod Almighty.  He will send His Holy Spirit to help you in the way of the Lord.  We are on this planet to have a relationship with the Creator God.  \n"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not come into the world to condemn the world..but to save it"   John 3:16 and 17\n     Read about Jesus and the life He hopes you will have in Him.  Purchase The Living Bible at a Christian Bookstore.  God is waiting for you to come to Him.  In Him you can have fullness of life.  "Seek the Lord while He may be found" Call out to Jesus NOW. He died and rose again for you to have eternal life. God bless you.
