Why do I have doubt in my mind?

Question

I told my parents that I want to go to school in another district and I wanted my god mother to have legal guardianship over me. And in my heart I believe that God is going to do it, but my mother seems like she is not sure about it. She said yes once but never said anything about it since then. And I really want to go but something keeps giving pictures of me not going there. I need faith

I'm only 13

Answer 1

Wow, that is a big decision!
I don't feel I know enough about this to make proper judgements (for example, why do you want to move?), but I'll do my best to explain my views.
My first thought is that your mother may be feeling hurt that you don't want to live with her. Also, even if you don't live with her, is it completely necessary that she no longer has legal guardianship of you? Like I said, I don't know the situation, but I would think that your mum still wants to look after you.
The second thing is whether or not you should go. If it is right, then God will do it. You may find that other things that happen put you in a situation that makes it clear that you should go. If you are having serious doubts then I think this might not be the right thing for you, or the time isn't right, although even with a true calling you would probably still feel a little nervous. Only you can decide which this is.
I suggest that you speak to your parents and God mother, and ask them how they feel about this, as well as praying for God's guidance.
If this is right it will still happen. You are part of God's plan and if you are willing to listen to him then he will tell you what to do.

Don't worry, baby, simply, were human, so we have failings and weaknesses, we only can comprehend what we know in this world, we can't be expected to know what God and Heaven is like, all you need to know is that God Loves us all, unconditionally and that while ever the world keeps on a turning, he's looking out for us, if you die in pain or die naturally, don't be scared, because your going to a nicer, higher plain, closer to the Lord Allmighty, God Bless :-)

Answer 3

First of all, don't listen to people who attack your desire to have faith....there will always be people like that. Pray to God that His will be done in your life. He knows what is best for us, better than our own desires. The bible says after we pray and leave our requests with God, we are then to wait on the Lord. Do this, joyfully! He will answer you.

I pray that the Lord protect and guide you, that He lead you in His ways and that your faith grows day by day, so that you can trust Him in all things.

Whenever you begin to have doubts "reach for a better feeling thought." That means, shift your thinking from bad to good. Believe in what you want, take action to make it happen, and it usually does. If it doesn't, look for the gift or the lesson as to why it didn't. There's always one there, you just have to find it. This simple lesson is the key to a happy life!

Answer 5

you americans are being brainwashed by such beliefs. take responsability in your own hands. if you're only 13 then it's your parents that hold the responsability, also in the shape of "legal guardianship". what do you want to shift that responsability to someone else for? take it upon yourself to make your life ok.

Answer 6

Whatever you do, please ignore that first remark. You have a right to have faith in what you want. The bible says that God gives us the desires of our hearts if we delight in Him. I agree with the comment to chill out and let God be in control. If it doesn't happen, there's got to be a reason behind it.

Answer 7

God has set a course for each and everyone of us. You need to relax - give your problem to God and then see what He does. Don't feel that you can control your life. God can control it better when you learn to trust Him completely.

Answer 8

You do realize the if your godmother has legal guardianship, then your parents don't. Maybe that's why they're concerned, giving up thier daughter.

Answer 9

You need to get in touch with something called "reality."

Stop believing in fairy tales, I think you're old enough to know that God is insignificant to your life. Take control of your own life.

Answer 10

Whatever people are saying God does exist and he is their to guide you. You have to realise how your parents will feel about losing you. I will pray for you and that God will look after you.
