PLEASE HELP ME

I had just recently had the same problem. I used to be extremely close to God and Jesus, and then all of a sudden, it just stopped. I couldn't explain why I felt that way, I just did. When life suddenly threw all these stressful problems at me, I tried to escape into books. I thought that those books were going to save me, but then I woke up and realized that they were doing nothing for me. I felt just as you did; that I wanted to love God, but I just didn't feel that close to Him. Just remember that God is always with us no matter what. Even if we can't see or feel it, He is. It was like the time Jesus was on the cross and called out "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Everyone feels alone. Just take some time to talk to God about something; anything. I find that if you sit by yourself in a quiet place and talk to Him about your problems, an answer will come. If you just keep that in mind, and continue to pray, your relationship will grow. I saw my problem as a test from God; He wanted to see how faithful I was. Even when I distanced myself from Him, He tested to see how much I loved Him by seeing how much time and effort I put into trying to rebuild my relationship with Him. God is probably testing your loyalty and love for Him; remember, just WANTING to love and be closer to Him is enough to start to rebuild your relationship with God.

The devil makes u have those feelings, he makes u doubt anything he can...stand firm..God is real, that is why the devil is tryin so hard to make u think otherwise. If you believe God sent his only son Jesus to earth to die for our sins on the cross and Jesus arose, and if you realize u have sinned and ask God to forgive you of your sins you will be saved..That doesn't mean the devil won't still try to bother you but just pray and God will help you...read the Bible and pray and you will draw closer to God, talk to him like he was standing right next to you, like he is your friend because he is your friend.

Don't worry =) God is always with you and earth is not our real home. God will not forsake you and He will always be there to comfort you and hold you in His strong arms. You can count on him to do anything. He even sent His Son (HIS OWN SON WHICH HE LOVES SO MUCH) to die for YOU! =) The only unpardonable sin is not accepting Him as your Savior. All other things, whether it be: murder, lies, adultery or whatever can always be forgiven when you mean it. God knows your heart. Go to church and you WILL gain faith. If you want to become a true Christian, there are three things that you must say with you mouth and mean with your heart.
1. Say, "God, please come into my heart."
2. Say, "I confess that I am a sinner."
3. Say, "I accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior."

If you do those three things, you are officially a child of God. It says in the Bible that the angels rejoice and have a party in heaven everytime someone becomes a believer. =) Isn't that neat? Talk to God constantly, even in your head. I talk to Him when I'm making breakfast. =) He will send his angels to fight any evil forces that are against you, and remember that God always judges and punishes sin in some way. If someone is prosecuting you for being a believer, let God handle that person, because you know He will. Your his child. =)

I have a small book, and it is called A Pocketful of Promises. It has letters from God to you. Let me read you one that you will probably like:

My Child,

I know you are struggling with doubt, but deep inside your spirit I have given you faith to move mountains. Let my precious promises wash your doubts away. I will never leave you, fail you, or forsake you. I am always with you; you are never alone. When you feel like giving up, cast your care and burdens upon Me. Rest in my arms and trust Me to take care of all that concerns you. I love you. Lift your eyes to the Heavens, for I am your help. Call on Me and I will restore you. Hope in Me, for I am here.

~Your Father

I have had simalar problems. TAKE MY WORD, God exists, and he knows and understands your heart. When I worry about hell, I like to think of this verse:
John 10:28-29 ;
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

Once you have given your life to God, it is his. You will always be his. If every night you go through your day and tell God you are sorry for all the sins you have done (try to think of each sin) then you will feel much better. God says that if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. He knows your struggle, and wants to talk about it. Just let him. None of us are perfect, we all sin, we just have to tell God, and not make excuses, and He will lift our burden. Try not to look to God so much as someone to be afraid of, but as someone to love. He laid down his life for us. He is our Father. Look to him as a dad. Feel free to ask more questions, I love to answer them. Praying for you.

go to the priest to ask him to forgve ur sins that is wat we catholics do! :)

Hello,

You have to hang out with the right crowd. If you are in a situation, where you are forced to be with worldly people, do not become friends with them. Be at a distance, and be with them for a tiny amount of time at the most. Otherwise, their bad influence will corrupt your good manners. "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" (1 Corinthians 15:33). Proverbs 13:20 says:

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Also, make sure to pray three times each day and daily pray for your enemies. For example: "God bless Jill."

I was so full of hate for someone yesterday, and I wanted to do something rash. I wanted to tell the person off, but the person was in the shower. My rage was building up, and I had an insane idea of knocking on the bathroom door. Nevertheless, then I prayed for the individual. I felt such love for the person, and the love was from God.

Regards,

Well just get rid of all of those fears and doubts!:D Satan is working on you, trying to turn you against God so he can have your soul. But you can't let him win! The next time you go to church, don't be afraid to raise your hand and ask the church to pray for you and if your church is anything like mine, then just go up to the front and let the Pastor and others put that annointing oil on you to rebuke Satan from your life. But you must do this with a whole heart that you believe Satan IS messing in your life and you need him out through the blood of Jesus Christ, because that's the only way to get rid of that old Devil! And don't be afraid of him, because when you stand with God, HE fears YOU!

I'll be praying for you because I know Jesus is waiting for you to come to Him with a repentive heart and open mind. Oh, and just get that sin out of your life! Don't let it rule you, YOU rule it!:D

I was just like you, and I was so frustrated with my doubts and sins. But you've come to the right place :). Well there are facts like no evolutionist being able to prove that there isn't a God. Also if you just stop and look around at the trees and nature you can just tell thaT IT WAS MADE BY AN INTELLIGENT MAKER. jESUS IS RIGHT THERE SUFFERING WITH YOU. aND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR hIM MEANS HE'S LOOKING FOR YOU. Oh sorry Casp lock was on :) Anyway you'll find Him trust me :)
