CHRISTIANITY HElP PLEASE!!?

Question

I am 15 years old and I have been a christain since I was 7 years old. Well now My christainity is failing..and I really don't want it to. I feel like i can't be a normal teenager though if I am a christian because so many people use bad languge and act stupid. I just don't know what to do. I want to cuss sometimes and God kinda scares me now..for some reason thinking of Him returning scares me and I feel alone and also the thought of dying scares me. I just can't get into worship and I feel kinda like my christian life is a HUGE mess. I need help. I pray...I try to read my Bible but when I do I either get bored or find nothing to help me. Sometimes I sadly even doubt God. I DON'T WANT TO! I want to be on fire and not scared and a great christain. I see the guy I like and he is GREAT in worship he bows,prays,crys, and I sing in my chior and i thnk to myself while I sing y can't I get into it? Fell like that? Want to worship! What is wrong with me? How can fix it? *cries* plese answer!

Answer 1

Sounds like you have lost your personal relationship with Christ. It doesn't mean you're not a believer just that you aren't spending alot of time in his presence.

Take a day out, listen to your favorite praise music and ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you and renew your heart for worship. He will meet you.

Everyone hits a dry spell every so often, that is when you must use your faith Heb 11:1 to press in

Answer 2

I have a daughter your age- so I will try to explain how she keeps her faith alive- she is very involved with her high school youth group at church. Just continue to read your bible, however let me tell you this- remember every word is spiritually discerned, which means the Spirit speaks through His Words. So pray every time before you read, so that He can open your heart to Him. It is hard being around those who do not care about Christ. Remember that God's Spirit is within you to help you- you are not alone in "trying" to be a good Christian. There is a favorite verse of mine that may help= Zech. 4:6- "It is not by might, or by power, but by His Spirit, says the Lord". I am in my church choir, too and am on worship team- and so is my daughter in her high school group. Let me tell you about worship- it is not the outward that God looks at- I know people worship from the heart, and they do not have any outward signs at all, and I also know people who "put on a show" but really are not worshiping. Live your life throughout the week as an act of worship. Worship is not just music. Ask Jesus to draw you close and He will.
God bless, and I will be praying for you,

Answer 3

Well, I'm not sure how to answer this but I'll try... here goes....
God says to "fear" Him but that doesn't mean u have to be afraid of Him. It means to obey, respect and love Him, the same as He does for u. Please don't doubt Him, He has always and will always be there. He has such wonderful plans for us. One day soon, all this pain and suffering will be gone. No more wars or illness or tears, no need of doctors or hospitals. When we get ill or injured we will be healed.
He says we will "beat our swords into ploughshares". I'm not sure how we can turn nuclear weapons into something useful, lol, but it will happen.
After the return of Jesus Christ, there will be a thousand years of paradise, where human beings will live in harmony and happiness. Satan and his demons will be locked away where they can't deceive us. All the animals will be changed. Cats will not eat meat anymore, they'll eat grass. Um... babies and small children will be able to play with snakes, in short, there will be no more predators. This is in the very near future, now.
When this wonderful time is up, then God will make His home here on earth. The earth will be transformed into a wonderful place.
God is reproducing His family. We will all eventually become God just like Him and our older brother Jesus Christ.
Please don't despair! I know how u feel. Sometimes I get depressed because it seems as if this wonderful future will never come. I just want to get away from this sick world we live in now. But the only thing to do is to keep praying and asking God fervently to bring His wonderful Kingdom as soon as possible!
All my best wishes, sweetie. Keep up ur prayers and Bible study and all will be well for u, love.

Answer 4

Nothing out of norm 15 the young ladies start looking real fine and most of the other young men are smoking, drinking, or out dating these fine little things so why should anyone keep the faith and study? No one could answer this but the person that is having trouble with their faith. My faith has always been strong since my calling - the women were still there and so was everything else, the only difference is I found a lovely young lady and now have children/job/everything I wanted. Everyone has their way in life choose wisely and remember it is said Jesus is a very forgiving person?! AMEN.

Answer 5

I think your at a stage where u could start doing things because u think they're right, not because of your upbringing. Acting stupid isn't a sin. Y do u feel lyk cussing. A lot of cuss words don't go against what is written in the bible. Your motive for cussing may. I wd suggest reading the words and recognizing how they apply to you within urself.

Answer 6

First of all, I'd say being 15 is part of your problem. I'm not making fun of you dear, it's just HARD to be a teenager. Peer pressure is awful. Secondly, please be sure you have sincerely given your heart to Christ. A person can be saved at 7 but that is very young. Talk to an older Christian that you trust, a godly person you look up to. Keep in mind that one day you'll stand before God, as we all will. Being ready for that day is the most important thing in life. Don't give up. It isn't easy, but live your life now so that He'll say "well done, thou good and faithful servant". You'll be glad you did. I repeat, "DON'T GIVE UP".

Answer 7

This is normal. We all go through various crises of faith. You are feeling turmoil in that you have desires that are worldly, and yet you know the Truth of God's word, and you are conflicted.

This is all part of growing in the faith. You must decide, as a matter of the will, whom you will follow. Will you choose the world, and all of its passions, lusts, and lures; or will you choose Him who gave His life for you to be free from these things that only fulfill for a short time?

How you deal with this decision will either make you stronger in your faith, or make you lukewarm or fallen away.

Personally, I would seek counsel from a trusted godly adult, and share with them the struggles you're going through. Whatever you do, don't take a lot of what is said on this site as good advice. Go to a real person, who has your best interests at heart.

Answer 8

It sounds like you are going through the normal trials of a young person at your age. As a Christian you can't be a "normal" teenager just like I can't be a "normal" adult if by being normal you mean living the way the world lives, talking the way worldly people talk, and walking the way people of this world walk. Jesus told the people who wanted to follow Him to count the cost (Luke 14:25-32).

While it may seem like you are losing something, that is an illusion. Cursing to "fit in" with people isn't going to benefit you in the long run. As a Christian you should have no fear of death because dying is a promotion into the presence of Jesus. As the Apostle Paul wrote:

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

Right now you are in a major battle with the 3 enemies every believer faces. We battle against the spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to tempt and deceive us in order to ruin our testimony for Jesus and if possible to kill us before we can serve God's purpose for our lives here on earth. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

We battle against the lure of the world that tries to seduce people into living for the moment instead of looking ahead to the eternity to come. (1 John 2:15-17)

We battle against our human flesh that wants to be satisfied without regard to what God has to say about meeting our needs in the proper way when the time is right. (Galatians 5:16-26)

Be encouraged little sister.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
