Before this journey, I was lost and consumed with earthly things! i couldn’t help but be a negative nasty person! I was sexually immoral and cursed alot! Then I met a person that would change my life forever! He made me realize that what I had done was not the way to live life! Im trying to change not for him but for myself! I want to be closer to go and make it into his kingdom. The thought of not being by his side for ever makes me sick. I need alot of help and prayer to get through this journey! I cant wait to share my new found faith with my family! but i need to get to the level that i feel is good!

How I did it: hi my name is Erika I want to say first that god loves you. God will always love you no matter what sin you do. no I'm not a perfect person, but god sees you as perfect because when he looks at you he sees christ. This weekend at my churches youth group retreat is when it happened. I learned so much about god it's uncanny. At our services it was more than singing worship songs my heart was so heavy and breaking. God came in… Read how I did it…

i feel i need to get my life on track, find a purpose and trust god. I haven’t gone to church in a long time, and i have had a rough couple months lately. Instead of seeking and praising god, i went away from him, tried to make it by myself, and ignored the things that really mattered. I need to learn to appreciate the things that really matter in life like my great family and friends, instead of dwelling on the negatives. I need to learn how to trust god and his ways even if I don’t understand, and i need to learn that everything happens for a reason. I have been filled with anger and frusturation for a while now, and i just recently realized how alone i am without a relationship with god. Please pray for me b/c i need all the help i can get, and i will be praying for u 2.

I sometimes feel that the devil is always trying to put thoughts into my mind to depress me all the time. I also feel that he is trying to get me to turn away from God. But I guess he does that to everyone at some point..especially “God’s Believers” such as I. I sometimes think that God is trying to test me to make sure that I keep having faith in him no matter what. And you know what? I am never going to give up faith in him. I will always try my best to never have doubts in him and to read the Bible whenever I can. There are some kids in my class at school who are atheists.. it does bother me. I truly do hope that someday they will come to God, and stay. I would like for everyone, even my enemies, to become a christian. I know that I shouldn’t be pushy or judge people based on religion. And I’m not trying to do that at all. I pray all the time for those who have not yet turned to God, and those who already have. And I will try to keep doing so until the day I die or when Jesus comes back to bring all of his people with him back to heaven for all eternity.
I hope that at least someone found this helpful.. I do know what it’s like to have doubts in God, and I am still working on building a stronger relationship with God. All I can say is for those who are doing the same as me, is to keep trying and never leave God. :)
pray for me. :)
and i will also be praying for everyone on this post. :)
God Bless All. :)
I wasn’t always a christian. I used to be a catholic. I mean I believed in God but I never ever went to church to celebrate him being him. I actually found that one day I was alone. There was no one there for me. I though maybe if I tried to talk with God about the sins i have broken and the troubles I went through. Maybe he could forgive me for my sins and mistakes. afterall nobody is perfect. I also read this series if books about a cheerleader finding her way to God. My story relates in so many ways. I have been alone for a long time and then I found God again and he forgave my sins. I love God and I do no know he loves me. I now go to church every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I sing in the choir and play in the band.
So heres how it all started. When i was like three years old i started going to church and learned about God and how he loves us and wants to help us through everyday life. So a few years down the road when i was eleven years old allot of stuff started happening in my life. I mean i would get into trouble all the time, my best friend had died in a car crash. I was like I wish there was something that could take away all of my pain and my hurt and that’s when i remembered what i was learning in church. So i started talking to my pastor and about a week later I was like i can’t take this anymore so i got down on my knees and asked God to come into my life and become my personal saviour. And then after that i was like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and i was happier and i got into less trouble and my pain had just like disappeared. So i am here today telling you that God is real and he wants to help you but you have to make the step towards him and let him know that. And yes a lot of people say once you are saved nothing bad will ever happen to you let me tell you that is a lie. God promised that we as christians will be picked on and looked down upon but don’t let it bother you. because when you die you have something better waiting for us. So trust me if you are beaten and bruised full of hate and pain get down on your knees right know and ask god to come into your life and become your love that will never leave you no matter what. Trust me i know from personal experience your life will get better.
I have been thinking alot lately about my actions and what I surround myself with. There is nothing holy in my life besides my thoughts of wanting to become closer to the Lord. It doesn’t matter that I grew up going to church, or that I was raised in an enviroment that was inducive for church going life. None of it stuck. None of my friends are christians. When socializing, I find myself around alcohol, drugs, cussing, lusting for women, gambling and living by no morals or standards. I isolate myself sometimes because I dont want to be in that enviroment. But the isolation makes me become restless. I dont have any christian friends to turn to or hang out with when I want to be around people. When around friends I am subject to be in a sinful setting and find myself falling into old habits that bring guilt and further frustration. It seems that for me to give myself to Christ I wouldn’t have any friends. I would be kind of starting over with friends I guess. Of course old friends will still be friends, but I dont see how we would hang out. Especially whenever we hang out it is doing something sinful i.e drinking. I am very head strong and I feel like I could go through a change like that. At the same time I am scared of being alone. I would have to make a point not to hang out or really do anything with anyone I associate with because I know what types of actions lie await. I would really like to hear from someone that feels the same or have gone through similiar situations. Or, if anyone has words of encouragement it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Wilson
I just found my way back to the Lord, and I am always feel guilty and like a failure. Sometimes even hypocritical. Like I say one thing and do another. I want to be closer to God, I want to make him proud. It’s just that I keep stumbling, and it’s still hard to let go of everything I surrounded myself with for so long. I have no religious friends…they make fun of me because of this sudden change, but I agree that prayer is the biggest help. Also reading the bible – the new testament in particular. Pray for me to have a stronger stance in my faith! I’ll pray for everyone on here as well.
God bless <3

I would like to be closer to God and to let him lead my life. A light bulb has recently gone off in my head about how important it is to be close to God and to know him.
