My life is becoming a little complicated rite now.My friend is going through a tough breakup,and i have felt horrible every day any ways just pray GOD will guide my friends and fam to a better path.

Okay...here goes..
You see...two of my friends recently told me that they are abusers of illegal drugs. I have seen this problem before with another friend, and I and a few other friends were able to get him to stop for good without help from adults. Does this mean it is safe to help my friends myself, or should I tell an adult? My friends are constantly telling me I need to stop holding myself responsible for everything everyone else does. That is true. They say I need to worry about myself because I don't sleep anymore and the stress is causing me to lose weight, despite how much I eat. That is true. They nearly killed me when I tried cutting because I thought I deserved it for not being able to help my friends. I don't anymore. My life really is great, and I am truly blessed. But with friends who are abusers, depressed, cutting, or starving themselves....I almost feel guilty for being happy. Does anyone understand what I'm trying to explain? I'm not depressed. I don't cut. I don't do drugs. And I LOVE food. Just...the worry...the worry for my friend's safety is really starting to get to me. Prayer for both them and me would be highly appreciated. And some advice or someone to talk to would be great. I love you guys!

I've lately been straying away from God and I feel as if I almost have facade going on in my life. I have a really strong chritian family I go to church every Sunday and I raise my hands in worship I'm helping with VBS. My friends see me as a strong christian. I'm starting to feel as if I am being a Christian for show and not all for God. I feel stuck in that lukewarm position and I really want to be on fire for God. Everytime I get close to God I always hold a little piece back because I feel I need to have control in that part of my life. I have also had lust issues and I don't even know how to ask for forgivness for that one. I would really appreciate your prayer. Thanks

Can someone pray for me? I'm going on this trip with my youth group to Denver in August to witness. Nothing scares me more than talking to strangers about the Lord of our universe! I want to, but I'm afraid I will get tongue-tied or 100% speechless. I know I need to pray and empty myself of me and let God fill me with Him. But I really need some support! Thanx

Dear Naomi,
Wow, you are going thru a lot! I feel so bad for you. I wish I could talk to you about everything. I am praying for you, especially your purity issue. Please consider this, no offense, a guy won't like you anymore than he does now, even if you compromise your purity. It paves the road for so much heartache. I really don't think you need that at the momment. Listen to me with an open mind, just because you are/were a christian didn't mean that bad things weren't going to happen to you. God is always there, even of nobody else is. If you are depressed try counting your blessings. Don't say you don't have any. You have friends who have given up their house to your family. You actually have a family. You can go to school. You stopped cutting..... Please PLEASE don't fall away form God! Things will get better. Not overnight, but they are bound to eventually. God doesn't give you anything that you can't bear. He is good, and will provide a way for you to stand up under it all. And if you don't think God loves you, then know this... I love you and am praying for you.
Love, Katie

Please pray for my friend whose dad died this past week in a terrible motorcycle accident. Her whole family is devestated....
Pray that God gives her strength and that he shows her that she is not alone, that he will give her the comfort of knowing that her dad is in the presence of Jesus and waiting to see her again.

Hey struggler,
Don't, I repeat DO NOT commit suicide. You may think that it will all be better if you do and maybe even that if you die, no one will care. Well, let me be the first one to tell you that your life and death will always effect someone. God loves you, and even though you are going through a tough time, God still has a purpose for your life, and you need to let Him in so He can work through you. If you are not a Christian, then please listen to me. You need to accept Christ, He is your only hope of getting through this. No guy could ever match up to the love Christ can give you. The bible says Christ's love is PERFECT! Meaning that it is without flaw, and no matter what you do, He will always love you. Your guy will not, believe me, I know this. I will pray for you, and let me know if you need any more advice.
In Christ's love,
Caroline

Hey y'all,

Please pray for my mother. She just had surgery, and is going to make a full recovery. She is, however, feeling a bit ill, which is expected from surgery, so please pray for her recovery. Thanks so much!

i haven't been reading my bible and praying like i should and when i pray my mind wonders and also please pray for me to quit sneaking.

Hi! I'm new to this so......
My parents are busy trying to figure out whether or not my family should move. If you could pray for God's guidence, that would be great and very appreciated. Also pray for me 'cause I'm going into 9th grade after summer's over, and I'm nervous. Thanks!

Hey ah I have a prayer request, i feel like my best friend is drifting away from me. It doesn't exactly help that I go to an all-girls school which has very close ties to his all-boys school and EVERYONE at my school is in love with him. It just feels like since his family moved from our church where we both grew up and he became a youth leader at this HUGE youth group in town that his stars risen massively. We don't get to hang out the same way and he never seems very happy seeing me. I just want him to not take our friendship for granted and to remember that even though I will always be there (which he knows), I do have feelings too.

Hey struggler.
I'm praying for you!
If you need someone to talk to, http://www.groundwire.net/themes/titanium/message_box.php is where you can talk to people who really care for you. There are counselors on there 24/7.
Sex really won't help you... it will make you feel worse even if it feels better right now. I agree with your friends, but only to a point. I don't know if you are depressed or not, I don't want to judge you on that. I do think that getting closer to God will really help.
You know whats really cool about God? He has a Holy Spirit. When Jesus went to Heaven He left behind a comforter, the Holy Spirit. You know whats really cool about the Holy Spirit? He can give you a comfort that sex can't. Holy Spirit helps your spirit, soul, heart and mind in so many ways. He can help you to get rid of those thoughts of suicide. He is right next to you and is just waiting for you to ask Him for help. He may not answer right away, but if you continue to call out to Him, He will answer and when He does, it will rock your world!
If you need more help, you can post on here again or go to the website I told you about at the beginning.
I'm praying and I hope this helped!
Emily

i'm not trying to complain or get attention but my life is horrible and i am caught up in addictions that i know aren't right. i have had thoughts of suicide. i have a counselor but she doesn't care about anything i say she just wants me out of there. i have friends but not many that i can trust with this. and when i tell them they say it's just depression and i need to get closer to god. but it's harder than that. my boy friend understands but doesn't give good advice. i know sex isn't right but right now its comforting to know someone loves me. i may be pregnant right now and not by my account. my family is split and i'm taking care of myself. i can't have anyone involved because of my step mom, she works for them and hates me. please can someone give me some advice? i really need some help right now.

*Shelby* ( teribly scared)
Hey, its Emily again,
I am praying for you!
Giving yourself to a guy is not going to help at all... it will probably make things worse! The only person you should be giving yourself to is God... He loves you so much! I can't even tell you how much He loves you... I wish I could be sitting next to you to tell you all this, but I can't. That's what is cool about God. He is with you right now! He is holding out His arms, aching to hold you close and tell you that you are His. All you have to do is ask Him to love you and he will... He already does.

And my sister has diabetes type 1. I have noticed that ever since she was diagnosed, she has drawn closer to God. He keeps her up on her feet so that she can get through whatever diabetes throws at her.

Again, I wish I could give you a hug (and a box of chocolate) and tell you that God loves you more than you could ever imagine!
Emily

i know how yo feel Bemnet i will pray4 you!

I've been having trouble knowing what God wants to do with my life. I want to put Him first and listen to him. But I've been having so much trouble being able to do that, mostly because I'm afraid of what He might say. I just need to listen to Him and be open to what He says.

Why Me,

I Feel so ugly. I wish i had a closer relationship with my mother so that i could talk to her (and she would no whats wrong with me). I feel as if the only way for me to feel better is to just give myself to a guy and I dont care if i got preagnaut i feel that a guy can only make me feel better and that he can take away my pain. I cry so much. If you see me with my family you would think my life is perfect I have a mom a dad a brother we are christians but they are okay its me I feel like my parents love my brother more, I have diabetes, I keep getting farther and farther from God, I want to be loved so bad. My stomic hurts ALL the time. please pray for me.

Love,
*Shelby* ( teribly scared)

Hello fellow Christians,
Lately i have been hearing about the fact that Jesus is coming back soon and all of the things happening tell us that. Every time i thing about that i feel so happy and i really look forward to that but i dnt understand why. could you please explain to me if it is good that i am very happy every time i think about that?

love,
Faith

Dear Teribly Scared (shelby),
I want to say that I am and will continue to pray for you.
First off, I know for a fact that you are not ugly! The Bible says that when God was making man, he said "'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)" Therefore, because you are made in God's image, you are beautiful. God made you unique and you are His little princess. He wants to dress you in a beautiful gown, give you a crown and dance with you! Another thing I would like to point out is that the devil is the father of lies and He is shooting them at you right now trying to get you to believe that you are ugly. If you keep yourself on fire for God, those lies the devil is shooting at you are just like splinters burning away in a blazing fire.
God is there to be your friend... your best friend. You can tell Him anything and He won't yell, he will listen and answer your questions.
If you fill yourself to overflowing with Him, you won't want to have sex. He will not only give you a gown and crown, but He will cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness which includes that craving to have sex before marriage.
I would like to let you know that God is also the one who will comfort you and let you know that everything will be ok! Jeremiah 29:11-13 says "'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 'You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." That is saying that God has an amazing plan for you so everything will be ok!
http://www.groundwire.net is a good website to get more help with this. It is run by a guy who came to talk at our school. He is a great Christian guy and there are women on there to help you out as well.
I will continue to pray for you!
Emily

Dear everybody,

I have done some bad things in the past that i am not very proud of.

I also would like you to pray that i could find a good friend who will be there for me cause i really dont have anyone to talk to.

Hey it's Lily...right now i really need all of yall to pray for my grandma. She has been in the hospital for 6 weeks and may be getting out next week. i really don't think she is healthy enough to get out of the hospital so please pray for her health.

thank you so much jamie for the advice may God bless you.

I want to listen good music. Help me please.

Hello, fellow Christian teens.

For a few years, my family has tried and failed to move from our old, unhealthy house. We recently found a place we'd like to move to, and my parents are trying to figure out if we can. The house we are in has caused asthma in my little brother, and it's old, broken, and just... very bad. Please pray for us, so maybe this will work for the better.

Love to all.

For Faith, and anyone else out there who's in a similar situation. What happened to you was a crime. It is illegal and wrong on every possible level for a grown man to target a young girl, use her, and then discard her. Please talk to your mom or dad or another adult you trust so they can help you walk through this. This guy needs to be stopped or he'll keep doing this to other girls and you need the support of someone who loves you and who can speak the truth to you about all of this. As for forgiveness, the Bible says that God forgives immediately when we come to Him and repent of our sins. It's only the devil who likes to bring up our mistakes and rub them in our faces, so don't listen to Him. Turn your whole heart to Jesus and trust that He loves you regardless of what you've done or what's been done to you. He wants to put you back together and make you whole. There is no problem too big for Him to fix. Trust in Him and please get some help.
love - jamie

Hey it's Taylor. Well I actually would really appreciate it if yall would pray for my dad. He quit his job like 1-2 years ago because he was always away from me(he did construction all over the US)and we didn't have that strong of a connection. He didn't like that so he quit and came home to be with me. Now, he's searching for a new job near home but he can't find any work. Just a month or two ago, he got evicted from his home, so now he's away from me, again, and living with his family in a totally different state. Just please pray that he'll find work so he can get a house and come home to me again. He is like my best friend and without him it's really hard. This is a sort of touchy situation for me so your prayer would mean soo much! God Bless You, Taylor

i had dated a guy who was 11yrs older than me,last year when i was 15yrs. we never went out on dates, he was my trainer at the gym when he asked me out and even though i didn't like him i went out wit him. After about two-three months, we had sex. We did it three times. I had been trying to break up wit him but we got back again but this one time we were supposed to have a date when he stopped talking to me. I texted him telling him that we should breakup but he never texted me back so i didn't know if he had broken up with me or not.Now i feel so bad because i keep thinking about that all the time eventhough i ask God to forgive me i feel like he hasn't and so i keep asking Him for forgiveness all the time i been wanting to fast but i dnt do it am not serious abt it. I was wondering if you have any advice for me.

for my friend he just failed 5th grade and he dad does child abouse and stuff please pray 4 him

i dont have a prayer request but i hope everybody is having a GREAT summer!!!!!!!!!! :)

I really like felt the sprite there. We got know rangers there rainbow are people who live their that have disbilties. They are always happy and you tell they love god. I pray that sprite of god doesn't felt as happy I did there when I got home.

I need prayer in some unspoken things..just to have them prayed over by more than just me. I need prayer for school as I enter sophmore year and continue in my schooling and that I might soon find my major for college. Also that I might find purpose.

I have a girl named Kelsey at my church and she is having brain surgery on Wednesday the 3rd. Please pray that she will have a good surgery and that everything would go well.

For my dad to find a job and for me to trust God through this rough spot in my life.

I'm really stressed out with school and struggling to get great grades. I just need a little of God's guidance, but with God a little is much!
