I have not been to church in a while because I just started college and havent found a church to attend, its been about six to seven months, I feel satan is trying to tempt my faith in God and use alot of different things to turn me from him, I have never questioned God and his exsistence but people have come into my life to shake my faith and I have questioned things, but I feel like Im so far from God right now, Will you just pray for my walk with him that my relationship will be made whole.

Lord, please protect Maggie from any spirit coming against her that is not of God. Please send Maggie Christian friends who she can discuss you, and your word with and who will encourage her in seeking your presence in her life. Please set her feet on the solid ground of your word. Please infuse in her mind and heart a confidence that you will never leave nor forsake her, that you guide her and protect her from all deceit. Finally Lord, I ask this coming Christmas season that Maggie experience the wonder of who you are in a new way and that her faith in you grow day by day. All these things I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

This may not be exactly what you were looking for, since you really didn't ask a question, but for prayers, but I thought I'd give you a comment anyway. I very much understand what you're going through, I'm sure that all Christians do. There is always a time when it becomes convenient to not go to church (I haven't been in over 5 years), and then to feel our lives going the opposite direction. The absolute best answer I can give you is this. Remember always that God loves you, no matter what. Jesus said that church was not the wood or the stone, but the joining of people. So you don't have to go to a building to be with God, just say hi to him. Likewise, prayer will help you a lot. Others praying for you, like I will do and am doing, but also you yourself. And prayer need not be on your knees by your bedside, hands folded and eyes closed, but instead think of it as a CONVERSATION with God. Talk to him like you would a friend, because He is your friend. I may not have been to Church much in the last 5 years, but I feel God working with me everyday, and everyday I TALK to him, and everyday my faith stays strong, because I know that He will always be watching over me. God bless, and be at peace.

I sure will pray for you. I'm sorry to hear what your going thru, but satan is a liar. You have to read your bible even thought you haven't been attending church, if there are some shows you can watch some teachings from men/women of God that would help, they may even have a message just for you that the Lord is trying to get thru to you. Proverbs 3:5-6 say " Trust in the Lord w/ all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths". Don't let the devil steal your joy, U have to pray to God too and ask Him to remove these people from your life that don't mean you well and ask Him to make you whole again. God has given you the authority over satan....Luke 10:19. Grab your bible and read some scriptures to strengthen you.(matt. 6:33; Phillipians 4:13; john 10:10; matt 7:7-9) God is w/ you, don't let satan win over you, he is already defeated, he is under your feet.
"For greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world"
I love you and God does too.

Consider it done Mags. Know that every Christian comes to little bumps in the road from time to time. Keep praying and God will lead you back where you need to be. If you faith was never tested, how would you know it was really faith at all? Trials are what will make your faith in God stronger, so welcome each challenge as a way to learn more through prayer and reading of the word. It will never steer you wrong.

ting college is a huge change in your life and what you’re going through is very understandable. Even if you can’t get to church regularly you might want to look for a payer group or Bible study group that is comfortable for you in keeping with your Faith. Not only will this give you an opportunity to meet new friends who share your Faith, but I think it will help you feel more connected to God.
And of course I will pray for you. For all of you!

God bless you. First things first. I am gladden that you cherish your walk with Him so much that you would want others to join in prayer with you. Maybe you need to pray(and I will be praying with you) that God would lead you to the church that He wants you to attend that is close to your college. Six or seven months of not being in the company of like minded believers is bound to make one weak. If you did not eat natural food for that long you would probably be starved by now. That is what your spirit man is feeling right now. You have starved the inner man and he needs to be fed. Do not allow others to sway who you know that you are in Jesus. I have this discussion with my son often(well not so much now as I use to). You are to be the leader in that bunch. God has placed you there to be a light to them. Do not allow them to lead you the other way. Who knows? You may be the only person that some of them will ever come in contact with that can and is suppose to share the Gospel with them. That is why you do not need to starve your spirit. Just as food gives us strength in our natural bodies, the Word of God gives us strength in our inward man. I will be praying for you. Maybe you need to start fasting as well as praying. May God Bless

I will pray, but I hope you will continue, or begin again to fellowship with saints, also read your Bible. Speak to God directly.
Seek Godly counsel, (ooh good job I see you are)
Remember Romans 8:28 And in all things God works for the good of those who Love Him and are called by His purpose.
Hang in there, I am doing this study at the moment about tough times, unfortunately after the fact too... It's ok God really loves you and wants you to pull through.
I am praying...

I will pray for you .
Just remember God loves you with an everlasting love .
Jeremiah 31:33The LORD appeared to us in the past, [a] saying:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
Nothing in the whole world can seperate you from HIS love (Romans 8:37-39)
However be careful cause bad company corrupts good character.
1 corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." 34Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God .
Lord Jesus Himself prayed on Peter's behalf , He is now interceding on your behalf before the Father . So be at peace and rejoice in HIM.

Good on your for searching for Him and striving to be close to Him. If you draw near unto Him, He will draw near unto you. REad the scriptures and pray daily so could you learn of His ways and put the armor of God, that is discussed in Ephesians.That strengthened relationship with God will help you to withstand the fiery darts of the world. Remember, He is the way, the light and life of the world. You should never go astray from Him. Go to church, otherwise it is hard to be struggle alone.
I go to the Church of JEsus Christ of Latter-day Saints :-)

Yes Maggie I will pray for you, and could I suggest that you read the Word of God? Besides the Gospels, and the Epistles, you might try the Book of Proverbs, and Psalms. (My favorite is 91)
God Bless
