THIS APPLIES TO YOU! seriously, give it a read. i need some help.
People should pray whether or not they think God will listen. It hurts me so much to see people who think that because of some issues in their life, such as a sin or a non-christian life style, they can not open up to God. If you read the Bible, you will see that God shows a great deal of his love to those who are not right with him. I hate when someone shuts out from God because he or she does not think that God loves them. God loves us all: Gay, Straight, Sexually Active, Drug Using, Trash Mouths and all. So basically I am asking you, if you feel seperated from God, to give him a chance. He really does love all. So I think we should stop living under the asumption that we must choose one over the other. God or our life-style. Sure, I do believe that there are somethings in our lives that he doesn't like, but He loves us all as long as we give him a chance to. If we shut him out of our lives, and don't pursue him, then He may not show up. But, if we don't pursue him because of our life-style then we are limiting all that he can do.
I do not think someone is a hypocrite for trying to be Christian and sining. Where is this comming from you ask? One, I really need prayers and I realize that some people are uncomfortable praying because they are unsure if it has power when they have a lifestyle that might not be the most Christian. Also, I worry that some of my own persecutions (which were unjust) may have lead people to think that they can not engage in things like church and certain other activities. Such persecutions, I believe, had more power for bad than ever for good. Do not judge all Christians or religious people in general based on the actions of a few. No one is perfect, even if they are called to be.
I just beseech everyone to look at themselves and decide where they stand here.
Anyone can pray and I'm asking all of my friends to say a few for me. Again, I'm going through some really hard stuff that I have no idea how to handel. I really do agree with someone's statement about me. This is just to add to the things I'm going through. I am either good at pushing friends away or they are good at fleeing. Either way I feel like I am kind of alone. Love doesn't seem to come to easy to me. Boo Hoo firggen HOO, I know! but, it makes my outreach a little harder. Please pray for my parents to be more supportive. They have pretty much sucked in that department. Please also pray for my education and finances. I need to grow up, a little faster than I had planed. I'm sure that there is some good reason for this, I kind of just wish it were all over.
Basically what I am
