Sometimes when I hear testimonies and such I get what is called a "Spiritual High". Praying, fasting, Reading Scriptures, the whole lot. The only problem is that the feeling fades over time until I get to a "Spiritual Low." It's like I know the church is true but the spirit just isn't in my everyday life. This may be because I am not baptized/ confirmed because my parents will not let me become so. I dress modestly, don't curse, Follow the word of wisdom, and such..... but I just don't feel the holy spirit.
I'm afraid this may be because I don't "Honor my mother and Father" But being a teenager, it's so hard to. They curse, and smoke, they don't want me to go to church, and all they do is call me worthless and yell at me. Also they try to stop me from being religious. Im torn - Follow my parents or follow what god in my heart tells me is right. It's a lose- lose situation. Someone help me out of the hole i put myself in. Prayers / Fasting would be wonderful at this point! HELP!
