i need help goin to God.
i just recently had to break up with my gf. i still love her. i have social anxiety and i wish i could overcome it because its stopping me from meeting new people and also from getting a job. ive lately had random spurts of anger and i constantly flip out over the dumbest things. i get depressed n upset when i think about my ex bein with someone else. ive done so many things in my past that i regret.
i wanna change my life around. i wanna do good. i wanna be good. i wanna live a good life. i wanna be sucessful. and right now, God is the only person that can help me get through all of this.
the reason why i am askin for help on here is because i always wanna do things, but i never go through with it. im lazy and i wanna actually make something of myself. i wanna be a true christian. i wanna make the correct choices.
please help me

I want to help you going to God.
But I’m sorry, I don’t know where is God’s address right now *smiles*
——————————–
Changing always good for us,
specially if there’s a good one.
No one can give you the correct choice, you have to do that for yourself.
Best of luck for you.
Cheers :)

i honestly dont know why i can never go through with anything. thanks. i guess if i really want to change then i will
go to one of your local churchs around where you live. maybe you can go with a friend to a church.
having social anxiety might be hard for you to join a church cuz its filled with people, and at that, people you dont know. but realize, you are going to build a relationship with God, not for the other people. once you become a member and visit there regularly, making new friends there will become every very easy.
but, if you cant do that. then, pray frequently through out the day. talk to God, thank him for the good in your life. pray for other people, family ect. look up prayers on the internet.
if you are catholic, or maybe want to be catholic, http://www.medjugorje.org/rosary.htm heres a good website that will teach you how to pray the rosary. (you may need to buy a rosary — it helps keep track of the prayers. you can get one at a local christain store)
if not, that website has prayers on there as well.
i hope this helped :]

There you go *smiles*
thanks ashley.
theres so many things that i do that make me feel like i cant go to God. like every day, i curse so many times. i try not to, but i keep doin it.
its okay to curse. its not the main thing about getting close to God
building a relationship with him is number one. even if its just praying to him a few times a day to say thanks or to watch or a friend. or saying Our Father or a Hail Mary and thanking him for the day. once you start doing that youll feel better about everything else.
and you dont have to get on your knees and stop everything and pray. pray in the car or where ever you that you want to.
thats a good point. i just godda start out doin little things and then it will build up
yupyup :] little things count. main thing is to believe. :]
Ask not what God can do for you but what you can do for God. If he answers, then you know you’ve found him. If not, oh well.

Hello! IT’s nice to meet you…
God is as close as His very name… this was said to me when I was just starting out in my journey of having a relationship with God. Looking for Him on your own isn’t easy, I know, I’v e been there, and I understand how you feel when you say you want to change, but don’t know how, or can’t but you can and you will, with time. Things of this nature do not happen over night, and your search is genuine, so when you seek God you will find Him. It’s simple,yet it’s difficult because there is always outside influences, but if you allow God to change you, you will be transformed, it is gradual, and dealing with jealousy and control and anger issues may be a hurdle but nothing is beyond God. He will help you if you ask. That’s the key to finding Him, opening your heart and mind to Him and giving yourself to Him in prayer.
All you need to do is submit yourself before Him, sit on a chair, and close your eyes, or get down on one knee… I like to go into my bathroom, with the light off so there’s no distractions and sit on the floor and just openly talk and seek His guidance… yes it’s my own little prayer room… but if you close your eyes and just allow your heart to open up to Him, He will listen and that will be the begining of a relationship with Him that will never break!
God through scripture tells us that we can come to Him, in prayer just as we are. We do not have to “fix” ourselves and make ourselves better than what we are in the present moment. We do not need to rid of the “bad” or wrong things in our lives because when we come to Him with a sincere heart and allow Him to take over in our lives… those things that keep us bound ( figuratively speaking) in chains to this world we will be set free from. Yes, You can boldly stand infront of God right now as you are and ask for His help, you can accept His son Jesus Christ who died for you and yes your sins such as this rage, and other stuff… He took care of it and dealt with it at the cross. There is no shame in you because God does not look upon you with shame. He loves you with an ever lasting love and wants to help you NOW!
Many people come to God and recieve the free gift, it isn’t through anything we have done, for Jesus says ” MY ( HIS) grace is sufficient” There isn’t anything that you can do that will sever the love He has for you. He stands at the door of your heart and knocks, and I trust it is the Holy Spirit urging you on to gain a closer walk and relationship with Him… YA HAW!!! ( YEAH) I am excited for you!
BUt those same “many people” like myself are not perfect, and no one can be, we make mistakes, and we fall, but we pick ourselves back up and dust ourselves off and start all over again… with a repentant heart and we try that much more to release our sin (whatever that may be) to God in prayer and leave it with Him.
For you, God has someone for you who’s perfect for you, and to give your love away before its time, can cause trouble. But as serious as this is in you, you can overcome it, you have recognized it and that’s a start.
You are wise to say that God is the only one who can help you with this, and do not think that He stands in judgment over you and looks upon you with His finger on you. His arms are instead open WIDE to recieve you! The very stars He has named and can hold them in His hand, and the Earth is His footstool! No sin is held above another, and there is no difference between me, you, and the next person… if the next person is an unbeliever, that’s the only difference my friend.
Here’s my email, or just give me a shout, Glad to see you on here, Hope to chat with you further, Your friend, Shannon

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Amen to that ! do you hear that guy? Your going to live forever! YOur saved from the pits! Things will be easier from now on, You’ll see! :D
here is a good website to ask any questions about God: www.everystudent.com
The good news is that its not about what we do but what Jesus did for us! All you have to do is recognize, repent and submitt, and have faith. If you have responded to Jesus and accepted Him as your Savior then you have the gift of the Holy Spirit and He will help you overcome. Definately get involved with a good of Christians who can help you mature in your faith!
Love ya, bro!
thanks!!!
heres a poem i just made in like 5-10 minutes.
im tired of feelin like this,
im always mentally sick,
im done carin about how you feel,
umma do my own thing and keep it real,
yea, im changin but its gunna take awhile,
but still i keep tryin to give it my own style,
ive decided to let it all go,
i dont know how before i could steep so low,
im sorry for who i was,
im sorry for who i am,
i wanna apologize to all of you who think im your friend,
i dont deserve none of it,
what i face in my life is all a burden,
i look but cant find,
what i need in my life,
im still gunna try,
and manage to lose sight,
it hurts to mess up,
and it hurts to fail,
but it feels a whole lot better when i know someone cares,
that person aint you,
and that person aint me,
look up in the heavens and then you will see,
its Him,
its God,
its the only person that will always stand at my side.
my ex, the one i still love got mad at me, n she said somethin about- i guess i dont stand by ur side.
she read my poem n took it the wrong way.
n she said that he wont help me because he didnt help with me and her, about us not bein allowd to be together.
n i dont know how to make it better
Aww, I really do admire you…you have soo much to give:) Just try to do your best! And live ur life. And i know that you might be scared to do things, but so am i…but You CAN DO IT!! just give it ur best shot!!!
and I am soo glad to hear that u need God!! Even i do…Just remember that He is always there for u evn when ur friends arent…it took me 4ever to see that…but he will nvr leave u…..:) nvr forget that…Just stay close to God…..and He’ll never fail you!!!!
God is in the relationship biz! and God did help your relationship with your ex and He still will if you let Him. Maybe it is in your best interest not to be together, even if she doesn’t see that right now, remember we can only see the here and now, only God knows the future.
I lIke what you wrote,it made me smile at the end cuz it’s true. ….when people take what you say it just means they don’t understand. You could try and explain better if you want but if the part about God is where she’s confused and she doesn’t know about God then it might be useless in trying.Non-believers don’t understand .If she took it personal,let her know its not,tell her you know she cares,but it;s just your feelings.you FEEL like no-one cares. I agree with Mandecesaro,how they said’ maybe it’s in your best interest’.remember this when you don’t get what you want,it will serve you well in many areas of your life.
thank you so much tanya, madecesaro and felicity!!!!!!
Your welcome.Listen, I’m going to give you the best , most important Advice someone gave me,(her name was Mary BTW) when doubts come ‘Believe God Loves you’ this will get you through .When you study the Bible,study first on his Love,look up every passage and get it into your heart until you ‘KNOW’ it. ‘God Loves you’!!!!!
thank you!!!
I have to say give it all to God, even the relationship, IF it’s what He truly wants, both your hearts will find a way to be with eachother and make it work, GOd’s way… I say this because my now husband, when he and I were dating, I had my my prayers answered… I got down on my knees and offered myself up to God, and asked to give me someone who was a Christian… ( Making a long story short here) but two months later I met my hubby, and His family who were all CHRISTIAN!!!!! WOW! That set it in stone for me, I knew what I knew… but my honey wanted to sow oats elsewhere… but through persistence and longsuffering, patience and love, LOTS OF IT, we were married! Your best friend, and the one who will compliment your soul is already in the EYES of GOD, He sees her and knows her, He just has to wait for free will to be pushed aside…
NICE POEM By the way! Hope your day is good! GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!!!!
everything that i was tryin to do just went out the window. i feel like one of these days im gunna end up doin something that i regret and thats gunna ruin my life. my anger problem is really out of control right now.
Hmm anger…. Yeah I hate anger and I hate regret! Its ok, get angry! If you have to, wrestle with God, He can handle it:-) He loves you, don’t forget, this too shall pass, look to Him and His word. He is the only one who will never let you down, when every single human being has failed you He is there, always!
look what i said in the newest post i made. its called- i am scared im gunna do somethin that i regret, i just posted it not that long ago. im gettin off, but ill ttul. and thanks!!!
Hello, well when you feel yourself getting angry, that’s when you take your two feet and your heart beat and walk away from the situation. Refuse to say anything but ” Excuse me” and leave… go for a walk, and while you are walking, this is a perfect opportunity to have a conversation with God and ask for His help.
I know myself when I am angry, God shows me that there are many sides to a situation and the person who has insulted, angered or caused me offence didn’t nessessarily mean it to be that way in the way they delivered it, it’s how I percieve it, and my perseption was wrong because I wasn’t living in the realm of love.
Love is accepting a person as who they are, as who they want to be and as who they ought to be, that includes flaws and all. People we interact with sometimes neglect to take our feelings into consideration, and in fact should’t have to walk on egg shells where our feelings are concerned.
We are responsible for our actions in life and that includes our reactions. I guarantee if you stop acting out of selfishness and pride, and allow love to enter in when you are approached in a negative way, the anger will be less because you’ll be open to understanding the true nature of the words spoken to you, and you’ll realize that some people don’t have it in them to love and give us what we want or need. It isn’t a character flaw it is who they are.
You are needing something someone can’t see, or refuses to see or can’t give or refuses to give… this shouldn’t be held against them, because in all reality it isn’t in you to see things from thier perspective. Does that make you wrong? no.
Love is kind, love does not boast, it keeps no record of wrongs, it is patient it doesn’t delight in the other person’s pain and suffering… If your mind is in a place of true giving and true love you wouldn’t want to demand effection and wouldn’t want to demand your way would you? I am sure you don’t want that for the other person. Your way isn’t necessarily the right way, but it isn’t wrong either.
You need to accept that perhaps love isn’t found in you yet. Let’s face it we all have flawed examples of love, and we take our cues on how to be loved, and how to love others by those flawed aspects and characteristics of love.
You say you want God in your life, and you want His help? Then turn to His example of the way we should live. His example of love is never failing because He IS LOVE! He is the very character and the very definition!
Love yourself, love your flaws, and accept that you have room to grow…your anger can be let go of, and this just takes time, start by walking away so you don’t say something you regret. If there is something in your attitude you do not like, refuse to give in and allow yourself the moment of heated battle. Tell yourself no… bite your tongue litterally if you have to to remain silent… Go for a walk or a quick jog to get rid of the negative energy and stop trying to beat a dead horse. You can’t make someone see something in you they neglect or refuse to see. Allow them the right to choose and make decisions for themselves, if someone you love doesn’t return the affection, or feeling… love them enough to let go. They are a gift in your life from God, but they are not your possession. Friendships have thier seasons, and so do love relationships… this is perhaps your time to grow and this in you has been exposed for a reason with God’s direction so it can be dealt with…
My heart goes out to you. I understand somewhat we are you feeling, I think. I lost someone important to me when I was 23, my granny. I was her primary caretaker from age 4 so losing her created a big void and there was nothing I could do to bring back what I lost, I felt powerless for the first time in life. It made me angry with God. I don’t talk about my faith much because I think it is important that we each respect our different beliefs, rights to choose and to figure out what works best as individuals. I do want to say though the most important place to discover God is within yourself. You might want to look for the positives and focus on those. As we learn to do that, we learn to love ourselves for the love that we represent and that is when people are drawn to us. It is hard to accept that we can’t make someone love us or even when they do maybe they don’t feel we’re their best choice. It is hard to let go. But there is nothing like knowing how to love and feeling loved in return and I have always found that when i let go, love returns in some form. Hang in there. Work on loving you right now and finding what is good in you. I think you’ll be surprised at all the positives you discover.
thank you so much brighterblessing. that really helped. i appreciate it
