I feel like all of the stress that you could think is coming down on me. I mean, it could be worse. I felt so helpless yesterday...Pastor Brent has been having anxiety attacks and last night was the final straw. We all gathered around to pray for him and I felt useless. I guess I saw that things could be worse. I just hate felling like that. I felt

keep the Faith

[roseate126]

Hey,
I know I dont know you but it sounds like the devil is trying to get to you. dont let him fool you into thinking that no one cares about you or that your useless. you have the power of prayer so use it to your advantage. you CAN do something for Shane. Be his friend, (even though i know u already are) encourage him when it comes to church and God, stuff that he doesnt understand cause he looks up to you. just share your faith with him. you've already done so much just by bringing him to church. I know how you feel. I myself have felt the same way. you cant let those thoughts from the evil one take over you. your stronger than that. you have the power of Jesus and in the bible it says that demons tremble at the very thought of Jesus. you sound like your questioning yourself. so you know what you're saying cant really be what you mean. Dont give up on church, dont shut yourself out. church is a place where you can fellowship with other Christians just like you who are struggling with the same things. Its also a place where you can worship God and forget about everything in life that is bothering you. though you may not know it they need you as much as you need them. and dont feel helpless, you can only do so much by praying, trust that God will do the rest. Maybe you need to spend time alone with God reading your bible and praying, you might be surprised at what He'll say....
I'll be praying for you...
- by the way my names Amber Stallard. im friends with Shane and Jerilee and Zach. I go to Bay Life Church and I've been a Christian for about 3 yrs. I'm sry I dont know who you are and you dont know who I am. if its alright i'm going to add you to my friend list:) feel free to write to me.
hope I helped....

Thank you. I just need some time to think things out. It seems like there is a pattern with me. Everytime I start to feel like this I let myself get to the lowest point I possibly can and then I try and redeem myself. I don't like doing that and it sucks! I just want to be how I used to be, when nothing phased me and I wasn't affriad to pray. I know that I can't do it on my own, I just need to work up the courage to ask for help. Thank you.

well, im here if you need help with anything. why are you afraid to pray? it sounds like you need to go in your room and put on the best worship music you have and just cry out to God. seriously just bawl your eyes out. it always works for me. find someone close that you know is a strong Christian and talk to them about whatever your going through. that way you wont have to bear the burden alone and they'll be able to pray for you...
