Keep faith and keep doing the best you can. Remember the seed choked by weeds? This is when temptation and bad things interfere with your intentions to do the right thing, and you just give up. We are all human and prone to serious errors. They will happen. Pray to learn from your mistakes. Although it's not right to compare yourself to others, I can't help but think you have an excellent head start to Life more than many people twice your age.

"every since i gave my life to Jesus i have been going through alot i mean alot.."
Its ever, not "every"
"is God helping me on that one."
Put a question mark "?" at the end of a question.
"SInce i come from a bad Person and gave my life to God but when i get mad at this moment i start losing it"
How is that a question? And you miss spelled "since".
"and people tell me i dont act like a question all the time"
I think you mean Christian, not question. ¬_¬
Come on people, learn to type & spell.

the path of god is not an easy one, u must be strong and courageous. the devil fights just as hard as the lord loves, to get u off the path 2 the kingdom of the lord. Everybody has their moments when there not as focused as they should b, but dont let that get u down for the lord is alwys with u no matter what u go thru.

Roderick, first of all, you must realize that when any person becomes a child of God, the devil is going to give you as many problems as he possibly can; and try and make your life as misrible as he possibly can; because he hates the fact that you are no longer a lost sinner, but not a child of God. He will do every thing within his power to try and make you want to give up, and believe that you cannot live a Christian life. In order for anyone to be able to live as God would have them to live, they must daily trust in Him to give them the power through his Holy Spirit to live as He would have you to do. Jesus also gave us all power and authority over Satan through his name. Read Luke 10:18-19. And also remember that you must continually wear the suit of spiritual armor, that we are told of in Eph. 6:10-18. You must read God's Word, and allow Him to give you the understanding that you need to do so. We all must fight anger to a certain extent; and we can only overcome it with the help of God. Patience is something which is extremely hard for any new Christian to hang on to. When you feel like cussing, just ask God to forgive you, and to please help you to overcome the temptation. The devil will use other students at school, or anyone else that he possibly can, to try and defeat you. But always remember, that Jesus has already won the battle for us eternally. The devil will never give up, so we as Christians must never give up either. Just ask Jesus to be your strength, and to guide you daily. Just never forget that it is He whom you must please. My prayers will be with you, so just look to Jesus for the help which you need. He will never fail you.

Read Matthew 12:43-45.When we come to God and find forgiveness it doesn't end there.We must fill our hearts with His word or else the devil returns to fill it and brings help this time.Get serious about serving God and you will get the Victory.It's not to late or you wouldn't be searching for answers to this problem , also get with your Pastor I promise this won't shock him and he can help.

You answered your own question, Yes God is helping you. You can see in your life. So, take heart! God does not use a magic wand on people. It is called growing in Christ. We all know growing takes time. When you feel them words rising. Know they are from Satan. You now have the power to defeat him. Reject the words and you reject Satan. You seem to be on the right path. Kneel and give God the glory and thanks

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?
Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."
Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.
When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.
So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.
With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.
Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.
The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.
For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?
If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.
I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.

Don't fret it happens to all of us if we could live perfect lives then we wouldn't need Jesus. Ask God to help you control the outward man and let the inward man grow. He is faithful who promised!
