If i want God to help me with something little, all I do is pray, and if I have enough faith at that moment, it usually works. But for the past 3 years I have wanted o so desperatly to move back to ireland. The problem is-my mum wont go back!!! I need something to make her go back. If I dont move back soon..i will end up giving on life. I cant eat sometimes, cant sleep properly. I actually have to cry myself to sleep every night so that the next morning i wont feel so depressed coz i will have let it out.
I hate school...im very shy and nervous here in england, but in ireland i am so so so happy. If I lived there i would be the happiest person on earth, but i cant tell that to my mum and dad. They just shout at me and tell me to stop obsessing. But its all i want. I know that when im 18 i can go back myself but i want my family to come too. My dad would live there tomorrow if my mum would.So would my brother. can somebody with faith please ask God to let me and my family move back?? x

Please, please don't cuss me.
I went through the same thing you're going through when I was 15. My family moved and I had no friends. Nobody at all to talk to. At school I was shy and didn't talk to anybody. I even dated a girl for 6 months and probally only said 3 words to her the whole time. It terrified me to even get on the school bus, much less walk down the hall. When someone would speak I'd get all nervous. My face would turn red. My hands would shake. It was aweful. I ended up having a nervous breakdown and quitting school because of it. No one tried to help me. No teachers. My step-dad, 2 sisters & one brother had all left me and my mom and even my mom was too busy to understand what I was going through. For 5 years, I didn't talk to anyone BUT my mother. I lose your faith in praying. I prayed everyday, all day long. And I made it, sort of. After I got my first job, I met new friends and life changed for me completely and owe every bit of that change to the power of prayer! Looking back now that I'm older, I can see how I should've just laughed it off and made myself communicate more with those around me. Easy to say now but would've been devastating to me back then, I think. Just keep your head up and smile as much as possible and keep praying and you're gonna make it through too. You may not be able to move back to Ireland right now so instead of directing all your time and energy on trying to get back to Ireland, use your time and energy to just find one good friend you can talk to and you will find your own place in the world you're living in. Never give up on yourself. It's okay to cry. It's okay to feel the way you do. But remember, it's okay to have 'fun' where you live now. That won't mean you've turned your back on Ireland. She'll always be there for you. But you need to be happy now. You deserve to be happy now. If not being able to go back to Ireland is making you miserable, then put it on hold for a while. Don't let it get in the way of you being happy, no matter where you are. And just keep praying. Pray for the little things. Pray for the bigger things. Just keep faith in yourself. Your family. And your God. And life will be what you want it to be, no matter where you are at the time. I'm sorry I called you a little twitch earlier. I was just taking my own boring life out on you, I suppose. I appologize. Pray for me too. I'll pray for you. And if you ever feel like giving up and ending it all, just pray and remember those who DO love you but most importantly LOVE YOURSELF. It will show! :-) God Bless :-)

i know what you mean im in the same situation. Have you tried exressing this to your mum? or is there someone else who can listen and maybe help? I havent actually told my family about moving yet (its a couple of years) and i dont know how to tell them. Maybe if you get your mum, brother and dad to talk about it, it might resolve something! Does your mum have a reason for not wanting to go back? try to talk,and good luck!
i hope i see you over there soon, good good good luck.

Prayer wont work on its own. You have to confront your parents, maybe individually more so than when they are together.

If you don't have the courage to do that, discuss it with another relative, an aunt or uncle, or better still a grandparent. They will help you confront your parents if you ask.

Faith works only when action is also taken. Faith in yourself is more important than faith in action from God.

I will pray for you, both that you can find the grace to handle what life is giving you and to surrendered to God, and to be able to be a better place in God's will. That overall God will grant you the grace and truth to grow through this, and to know the deliverance and empowerment He would have to you to realize.

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord , whom you must first know by faith and surrender to Him as your Lord and Savior, in order to be in His perfect will and out of the devils kingdom, as the latter is not a good place to be: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/TheUltimateQuestion.html

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord JC.

Pst... the law is not of faith: Galatians 3.
Whatever not of faith is sin: Romans 14.

Prayer: Our Father, deliver us from "evil": Mt 6:13.
Answer: We are delivered from "the law": Rom 7:6

The GRACE of our Lord J-->C with you-->all. Amen.

Seems to me you have a serious case of 'the grass is greener on the other side of the fence' syndrome. Life is what YOU make of it. No offense, dear, but quit praying for your life to improve and DO something to make your life improve. Join a club to meet people, make a friend in your neighborhood, etc.

Do not question that your Faith is the problem.
It may be that it isn't God's will for that to happen.
I will pray that God gives you comfort and understanding.
I will pray that God lifts this from you in His own way.
God Bless.
