Please help?

I broke a promise to God. I started cutting again when I told myself and God I wouldn't. And I know He forgives and all that, but I feel cut off from God, like I did before I was Christian. I'd been really depressed and suicidal, and I'm starting to feel like that again. I'm afraid of starting over, or things getting even worse. I've tried praying more and reading the bible, but I don't feel the same anymore with God. Anyone know what to do? I just don't feel right anymore.

Hey sista, God loves you no matter what you do. I think we've all broken promisses. I've broken promisses to God too and I know how terrible it feels. but the good thing is that God NEVER stops loving us. If He did stop loving us then Israel wouldn't be here today because God wouldn't have delivered them from slavery even though they strayed from Him over and over again. pray, that's the best thing you can do. Or talk to a pastor or priest, either is good. I pray God helps you :)

I know that it can be boring praying and reading the Bible, but it'll be worth it. Keep faith in God and ask him to show you the path. It might not be what you expect, but it's pretty darn amazing. Remember that he loves you. Keep a connection with him. Build a friendship with Jesus. Trust me... it's all worth it.

He'll take care of it all. He forgives. Don't worry. But be cautious with promises. One man in the Bible promised God that if He helped the guy win a battle, then he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house to greet him. That thing happened to be his daughter so he tore his clothes but sacrificed her anyway. Watch the promises. Put the knife away. Write little verses on notes to remind yourself. Change your passwords to have something to do with Jesus. Anything to remind you that you shouldn't take promises lightly and that God is number one. God bless you!!!

Well I heard that sharing burdens help. I mean it's good you did it here, but why not try telling someone you know who isn't a parent. I'm sure that people will try to help you. Have you heard that song "Never Let Go"? It says "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death you perfect love is casting out fear. And even though I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life, I won't turn back I WON'T TURN BACK I KNOW YOU ARE NEAR. And I will fear no evil for my god is WITH ME and if my god is with me whom then shall I fear?"

Look beautiful everyone has been in your shoes and I am here to tell you what I think about this. I've felt like I've broken the biggest promise to God ever and even though I know he'll forgive me it just didn't seem right or enough. I learned God loves us all and here's something that might help. There's a verse of the bible I hear on the radio and I've been searching for for some time now and it says God loves everyone ESPECIALLY the people who need it most. I hope that helped because it did to me. I'm here for you if you need support or anything else.

Now I know why I read this passage this morning.

'Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that He cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But you iniquities have separated you from your God;' Isaiah 59:1-2

This morning, I was feeling like you. But then, I read this, and knew it meant something.
Thank you, so much. It means a lot.

You are forgiven by God through the blood of Jesus. Listen all have fallen short of the glory of God. Which means that no one is perfect and havent slipped up but thats what grace is for but remember its the holy spirit that gives you life to live. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a way that will help you in your situation. 1 peter 5:7 cast all your cares on him for he cares for you........ remember that we have an enemy the devil who will make you feel like God has abandon you but God will never leave you or forsake you. 2 corinthians 10:5 cast down every thought and make it yield to Christ. You have to take a stand against the enemy. Resist the devil and he will flee. But remember he might come back to tempt you but stand. Read Ephs. 6, James 4:7

Your relationship with God is a very powerful thing. Do not let anything get in the way of it. God always forgives anybody no matter what they have done. If you really feel that bad about it, then try to pray to God and say how you feel. God always understands and if you just listen to what God has to say then I'm sure that you will feel better immediately. Remember that God loves you and always will and that Jesus died to forgive you and all people of sin.
