hey...well within the last year i have become christian. but lately i have been having my doubts. i have depression, and have had it for about 2 years now. i pray so much but i dont seem to be making any progress to becoming happier. i dont understand why my prayers arent getting answered. (link)

Wow, you've got some really good answers so far. I don't know if there is much I can add. I think FunnyCide is a very wise counselor. That advice was wonderful and I agree with it 100%. Remember that prayer is not you telling God what the problem is, for He already knows. Prayer is your humbling yourself before God and admitting to Him that you are depending on Him.
This may be a bit, straightforward, but I am trying to be kind and loving. Discouragement happens to all of us. Depression begins when we stop being impressed with God and His loving care of us. Simply put, depression is a lack of trust. Many will say that they trust God, but fail to act on it. Trust is an action that is confident about God's sovereignty, love, and concern. Did you know that the Bible says that God thinks about you more times in a day than there are grains of sand on the seashore? That's a lot of thinking He does about us. And what does the Bible say about His thoughts towards us? Jer. 29:11 says that His thoughts are thoughts of peace, not of evil, to give you an expected end. What is the expected end? Romans 8:29 says it is to be conformed to the image of Christ. Is God doing that work in you, the work of bringing you to Christ-likeness? If you're a believer, you can take it to the bank. Philippians 1:6 says, "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you (bringing you to salvation) will perform in until the day of Jesus Christ (when you're ushered into the very presence of Christ through death or the rapture). And the great thing about all I've said is that these are promises and we know that God cannot lie.
Sometimes, we all have to do as David did and encourage ourselves in the Lord.
If I can be of further service to you, please let me know.

i need some tips for my pitching,like how to increase my volosity and stuff (link)
| |
Velocity is something that you can increase, but not by a whole lot. Weight lifting is fine, but you have to make sure you're doing the right exercises. Fundamentals are the key. Make sure you're coming over the top and extending your arm. Those who pitch by pushing their elbow through and having to pull their forearm, wrist, and hand (in that order) are naturally slower. But here's the key. Be accurate. And also master your offspeed stuff. A good breaking ball with an average fastball will keep the batters guessing. Learn to throw your fastball and offspeed pitches with the exact same motion so you're not telegraphing your pitches. You can also throw different types of fastballs. Use a splitter, four-seam, and a two-seam. The splitter is harder to control. Don't only work on curves for your offspeed. Learn a slider too. The best pitchers in the majors are smarter than they are fast. But remember, fundamentals are the key. Come over the top and stop your motion in a good defensive position. You're well on your way.

Do ouija boards work? I've heard some weird stories & I don't know if they're real or not. Thanks. (link)
|
Follow up: I was, in a round about way, answering your question. They do "work" if you want to put it that way, but I was just laying a foundation for HOW they work. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some of the stories you've heard are real. I was in no way trying to imply that you were going to use one or trying to "preach" to you. I was answering the question from my perspective. No hard feelings here, and I hope none there.
Stay away from them!! I don't know if they "work" or not, but here's my reasoning. God has revealed everything to us in His Word that we need for life and godliness. That being the case, He's not going to give us any other revelation, especially through a board game. Thus, the only spirit that can work through that is the spirit of Satan. Obviously, that's nothing you want to play around with. There is a spiritual realm that we cannot see. Demons do exist and, trust me, they aren't working for your good.

I have this friend and she hangs out with me all the time and stuff but shes kinda mean to me and sometimes it gets to the point where im so sad that i cry . what should i do? (link)
|
Be careful about reading into things. I don't know all the details, but sometimes people come across a certain way but they don't mean to (no pun intended). Since it is bothering you, I would just ask her about it. She may not even realize she's hurting you. Ask yourself, "How do I treat her? Can what I say and do, in any way, come across wrong and hurt her? Do I laugh it off when she does those things? If I do, then does that send her a message that it's okay to do those things because I think they're funny?" There is a dynamic that you must think about. All you can do is control your responses to what she does. If you're accidentally sending her the wrong message by laughing or ignoring what she does, you need to change your response. I don't mean bite her head off or anything, but let her know that, whether she meant to or not, she hurt you. She can't correct what she doesn't know if wrong. She may not correct it when you tell her, and if she doesn't, I don't know why you want her around.

Ok so my best guy friends are freshman and im a sophmore and all i can say is that i love them more then life itself. i would seriously do anything for them. well they just became freshman so they will be moving up in my youth group at church,and they will be with me more.my friend adrienne(who is also a freshman)and i are kinda like leaders in our grade. and my guys friends(the freshman) are known to sometimes talk during service and they just pretty much dont care about it. my friend adrienne and i have gotten in trouble many times because of them talkin but we love them so much we just defend them. so we are trying to decide whether or not we need to still sit with them in church , because we are scared that they might bring us down. please let me emphasize how much i love this guys the thought of telling them that i wont sit with them brings almost brings me to tears. im just really stumped i need help please (link)

You've gotten some pretty good answers from what I've read. Let me add just a couple of things. First, the Bible says that a parent who loves his/her child will correct the child. I know you're not a parent to these boys, but here's the principle: true, Biblical love includes loving, but bold confrontation. These boys are going to be freshmen. They know what they are doing is wrong. It is your responsibility as a friend and as a Christian to hold them accountable. If others in your youth group see you as a leader and you don't do anything to help bring these boys to maturity, then others will see the boys as leaders and start following their example. Galatians 6:1 says, "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest ye also be tempted." This verse says that in order not to be tempted to fall into the sin of your friends, you must realize that were it not for grace, you could be in the same situation. Then, with that in mind, restore them to usefulness by confronting them with God's Word. You've heard the phrase "tough love." You might think it tough to confront your friends, and it is to a point, but if your motive is to restore them and to honor God, then His commandments are not burdensome. I hope this helps.

how do you make-out with a guy? i have never done it before and most of my friends have and im going into 8th grade..so idk if it will happen or not but i should be ready. and..what do guys like? thanks. (link)
|
Okay, I know I'm going against the grain here, but you asked for advice so I'll give it to you. How do you make out with a guy? You don't. You're 14, or somewhere close to that. You don't have any business "making out" with anyone right now. Something so many young people miss is this: you've got your whole life ahead of you. Once you start "getting fresh" you can't stop. It is so much better to save yourself for your future mate. Trust me, so many problems can be avoided if you just save yourself. Don't be pressured by your friends to do something like that. Maturity is know that you're not ready for it and standing with integrity. I know this is not the popular opinion, but please, I beg you, don't get involved in it. It will be so much more special if you wait until your wedding night. I'm not saying you can't kiss a guy or hold his hand, but if you take it too far, even once, the temptation to go further is VERY HARD to resist.

Well about my family. My mother and I get along very well. We help eachother out around the house, keep eachother company, and make eachother laugh..when her boyfriend isn't living with us. Which is every few weeks for about three to seven days. There isn't five minutes in a day that they arent arguing and half the time they are full out screaming at eachother, slamming doors and my mom crys about every other day. He has punched a hole in the wall, and pulled a gun on us twice. Once every three weeks or so, we'll have to leave the house around 12 or one at night for our own safety (usually on school nights). He was a very heavy drug user and went to jail about three months ago for it. The cops are at our house every couple of weeks, making him leave, and every time he does he steals a bunch of our stuff. One time, just to be an ass, he took all of the dog food so the dogs couldn' eat and cause us trouble. He does little things like that just to be a prick, everyday. He's always making things up about me to get me in trouble with my mom, and he used to be nice to me in front of my mom, but lately he's even being a jerk in front of her to me. They will fight and yell for hours at time, but if I say one single thing about him my mom says,"I don't want to hear it." or "I've heard enough today." So she'll listen to him yell for three hours but wont listen to me say a single word. My best friend was over the other day and we were laughing about something and my mom said, "You two need to be quiet so Brian does'nt get in a bad mood." Now I can't even laugh in my own house with my own best friend because God forbid Brian gets in a bad mood. You have no idea how many times I have full out told my mother exactly what was on my mind (I quit trying to tell her months ago) but she just doesnt care. Sometimes we will plan to go somewhere after she picks me up from school or practice, but she'll bring Brian when she comes to get me, so when I get in the car she acts like we never even had plans, and when I ask her about it she looks at Brian and says, "Do you feel like going to..(wherever it is I want to go)?" and of corse he says no, so we just go home. Theres also been a few times where this will happen, then when we get home he decides he wants to go somewhere, so they go do what he wants to do. Hes never had a job for more than 6 weeks, and at one point he didnt have a job for over a year. At the moment neither him or my mom have a job because they worked at the same place and he got fired because he dissapeared one day on one of his fits for like three days. It caused my mom so much stress that she quit her job. Whenever im on the computer, I CANNOT get up for even two minutes to use the bathroom because he comes in and closes EVERY single thing I have up just to be an ass. And when my mom asks about it and he lies, she completely takes his side. What I've told you is barely even "the tip of the ice berg." I hate being at home not knowing whats gpoing to happen next or if this fight is going to get out of control again and he'll pull a gun again. I hate that when they fight and they both take off in different cars at 12 at night, that I have to be scared out of my mind knowing that he'll be back first. I hate being scared and im tired of crying. I just dont know what to do. I thought maybe i'd move in with my best friend, but they arent exactly wealthy..her mom doesnt work, but her, her dad, and her brother do. I wouldnt have a car or anything to get a job and theyd also have to worry about my school hours which are different from theirs. I'd be a complete problem. What do you think?

Kayla,
Wow! Let me try to make this short and sweet. Scripture commands you to honor your father and mother. I don't know where your father is in this situation and I'm sorry if that's a sore subject, but this we know. You must give due honor and respect to your mother. The Bible never says that you only have to honor her when she is acting right, but that you are to honor at all times. I know it is hard to respect someone who doesn't "seem" to care, but trust me, she does. You can only fulfill your obligation to God. You are not responsible for what your mother does. In regards to your mom's boyfriend, I don't exactly know what to say. I would stay out of his way and pray much about the situation. The next time you and your mother can get some alone time, talk to her about it. Don't argue, just let her know what you're thinking. Don't be emotional, just talk. If he EVER takes a gun in an offensive way towards you or your mother again, find legal help immediately. He may just be trying to intimidate you but you never know with these types of guys. Your mother may be angry about your involving the police, but in the long run, it is going to be best for him to be removed from your home. Let me finish with this: don't focus on your being a "victim." Do what is right in God's eyes and He'll do the rest. Hope this helps.

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is going to be REALLY long.
I was at summer camp last week, and i went with a bunch of my friends. We were having oodles of fun, and there was this guy there that i have liked for EVER! He lives near me and i see him alot, but he has never acted interested in me before. Now, at camp on...Tuesday, during the night game he sat next to me (on a loveseat) and started to poke my knee. So i poked him back. then he took his elbow and dug it into my hip so i jabbed him really hard in his side....it was kinda funny. Then he took his hand and kept putting it on my knee. I wasn't comfortable with that so i kept pushing it off but he wouldn't stop. Then on Wednesday he asked me to play tetherball with him, i so won. then we played pingpong, and i definitly lost. Then on Thursday it got REALLY weird. First I was in crafts and he was in pingpong. Those two games are in the same room. He lost in pingpong so he was sitting down. He called me over and told me too sit on his lap. I did not!!! Then I sat next to him in the chair next to him. He asked for my hand and i said "why" he said he wanted to see somthing. So i held out my hand. Then he just started holding onto my hand and stuff. I was really uncomfortable with this. After that my team and his team were assigned to go to the pool togeather. So while we were at the pool i did NOT want to go swimming. He kept splashing me and trying to push me in, and i was in my cloths! Then i got sick of it so i just jumped into the pool, cloths and all, and dunked him. Okay. He kept holding my hand all day and stuff and on friday, I was really uncomfortable with it. Then on friday everyone in camp catchs him making out with this girl!!!! Now i dont know what to think!!! I dont want to yell at him or anything, cause he is going through alot of problems and he has always been able to talk to me about them and no-one else. So i dont want him to think he cant. what should i do!!!!???? (link)

First of all, two thumbs up for your parents for training you to feel uncomfortable in such situations. If you feel uncomfortable, you have an obligation to let him know. If he continues, he doesn't need to be a close companion. Let him know that he doesn't have a right to touch you without your permission. And might I add, don't give him your permission. Second of all, the fact that he was caught "making out" with another girl shows you that he is making poor decisions and isn't mature enough to control his emotions and/or hormones. You need to give him a lot of space. Next, you need to realize that you have no right to yell at him. You are not his authority. But as a friend, you maybe should confront him. Let him know that he doesn't need to act that way, especially if he's showing an interest in another girl. But remember, when you confront him, don't make excuses for him. He makes choices about how he responds to his problems. Tell him to talk to his youth pastor or senior pastor, or to his parents. This is something he needs to work out with an older male who can hold him accountable. Don't get me wrong. You can hold him accountable too, but if both of you show a physical attraction to the other, it is never a good idea for the two of you to be alone if the temptation is too great to resist. Be there for him to talk to, but please use caution. If you need further explanation or help, please feel free to ask.

Hailey,
Here's my point of view. You need to ask and answer one question for yourself. "Is my feeling bad out of love and concern for her, or is it my guilt over not being faithful?" I know that if I had a bro or sis who tried harder than me but achieved "poorer" results, I'd feel kind of guilty. So here's my advice, short and sweet. It's got two parts. First, try harder yourself. The fact that your sis looks at your lack of effort and better grades could be developing bitterness and resentment in her. Although that is something she needs to deal with, you can help by showing her that you're committed to doing your best. Remember, it doesn't matter in eternity who had the better grades. What matters is who gave all they could give. Secondly, encourage your sister. This is something for you and your parents to do. Help her to understand that her efforts will be rewarded in the long run. She is preparing herself for a disciplined, mature, organized future. She needs to know that she is loved and accepted for her faithfulness and diligence. By the way, her greatest need, and your's too, is know Christ as Savior and Lord. If you both do, great. You will be rewarded by Him. If you don't I'd be glad to share more with you.

So my family environment isnt so great. I dislike my mothers boyfriend with a passion, and anyway, today I left my house on a walk, just to vent and I had this urge to go to Brad's house and just ring the doorbell, and just be like, "Hey whats up?" Well I never did it, but looking back on it, I dont feel like it was such a bad idea. I'm thinking maybe I'll still do it. I'm also fully prepared to either be invited in (which will happen if his mother isnt home) or have the door slammed in my face (which will happen if his mother IS home.) SO. I suppose theres no way of knowing what he will do, but I think I'll take a chance. Just to go over and hang out like we used to and just chit chat about how summers been going and talk about his movies and what-not. What do you think? Would this be totally wierd if I just showed up? Or do you have any suggestions about, well, anything?

Kayla,
It sure is nice to have a name with which to start my answer. I don't think your idea is a bad one at all, in essence. Remember what I said though about making sure others are around. You don't want to go inside if no one else is home. Ask him to sit outside with you and just hang. If you're tempted to start touching, etc, it will be easier to resist if your outside on the porch. I like the fact that you said that you think you'll take a chance. Sounds like you're allowing yourself to be vulnerable. It sounds like you're listening. Thanks for that and praise the Lord. I will say this -- I'll be praying for you, Kayla, and your relationship with your mom and her boyfriend. I know what that's like. My mom and dad divorced when I was 9 and we lived with my mom and her boyfriend for 2 years. It's hard because, if your mom is like my mom (was, praise the Lord), she seems to take her boyfriends side instead of yours "just to keep the peace." Hang in there, and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

My new question would be, that you say "Just be a friend." How can I be a friend, when I don't know how to approach him. Even online, I dont know what to say to start a conversation. Im afraid that no matter what I say, he'll never let me help him or even just be there. Plus I can't be there to listen, when he wont let me in to talk. Do you understand what im saying? (link)
| |
I do understand your what you're saying, but let me ask you a question. When you're just "hanging" with your other friends, are you always looking to analyze what they may be thinking/feeling, or do you just talk about whatever? You know, what movies you've seen lately, the newest "couples" at your school, why you're grounded for the next two weeks, sports (if you're into them), etc. Don't force him into a situation where everything is serious business. Relax and enjoy the company. He will open up when he is ready. Friendship takes time. Don't act as if he has to know that you're concerned about him. Just hang. Here's another idea: you could pray with and for him. Pray for him according to your concerns and pray with him about the tests coming up or about safety for the ball game. Just relax and let him have fun around you. Trust me, I've dealt with a cousin with the same problem. I talked with him for years about accepting Christ as Savior and about opening up to me. Then one day it dawned on me. Just be his cousin. So for about a year, I just called him once a week to talk about his football and baseball games and to ask him how the rest of the family was doing. My freshman year of college, he called me right before supper and started asking some serious questions. I was able to lead him to Christ that night. And it was very special because he was the first person I ever led to Christ. Just give it time and spend a lot of time on your knees for him.

I'm going to try to explain this the best I can without sounding like a middle schooler, and you'r also the only person I've ever mentioned this too because I read over you're Info. and the question you answered and I suppose I believe you can help, so I apologize if your like me and hate those long ass questions. Sorry! Alright, well im 17 and im obviously in highschool. But theres this guy that I like Brad, who I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Hes a genius (they wanted him to skip a grade or two) and hes funny and cute. But all of his friends make so much fun of him because apparently he was a "nerd" in middle school and thats "not the cool thing to be" in middle school. So they made fun of him and it stuck so they still make fun of him. I'm friends with someone who used to be a good friend to him and he told me that Brad had tried to commit suicide by hanging himself with a belt or something from his door. But it was too long or something odd like that so it didnt work. I suppose he didn't honestly want to die or he would have tried again. But im also not supposed to have this information, but you know how friends tell secrets when they arent friends anymore. Anyway, he apparently "found god" and started getting pretty into the idea of government conspiracey and things like that. Well I never believed in God, because none of my family did and there was always things about it that never made sence to me. Me and Brad talked for a long time one night, where he explained things to me and talked about why we should always love and help other people. Him talking with me about this, helped me make sense of it and now I do believe in God. I don't think he understands how much good he could do in the world because he is so smart (not very friendly at all) but very smart. Im not one hundred percent sure why I like him, hes just so mysterious and so different from all the immature highschool guys, im just drawn to him. Hes also not one to be like "Yea I like bitches and hoes, lets go fuck." I told him one time how much I like him and (because I was drunk of corse) and I told him that I wanted to have sex with him and he asked me "What would that do for us?" and I said that I thought he would like me better, and he explained to me that sex isnt what life is about and how you can have just as many fun and loving experiences without having sex. I was actually really relieved to hear him say that and I really care for him. I've told him but he has problems with peeople getting too close. When he thinks he may be starting to like or trust someone he pushes them away. Hes done this about three times so far, the worst time was when he actually let himself stay the night at my house (we didn't talk for like two months). I've told him how I feel, but with his little "im going to push you away problem" I don't think im getting anywhere. I would love for him to want me back, but all I really want is for him to be happy. I'd give anything in the world if I could just be there for him to help him do things, or be someone to talk to. I want to make him happy but I dont know how. So, what im saying here, is, well im not asking for ways to get him to like me, I just want to know what you think about the situation and maybe you could help me find ways to help him. Thats all I want to do is just make him happy. Even if im not the one who makes him happy, thats all I want for him, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. Also, im only going to be a junior and hes going to be a senior. Im afraid I wont ever see him again after the school year. Telling him that obviously isnt helping him understand how much I care, and maybe the only reason I do care so much is because I think I can help in some way. So please tell me what you think, i'd appreciate it so much. Again, im sorry it was so long I just feel like you can help me. Thank you. (link)

First of all, please don't apologize for being long-winded. Remember from my profile that I want to be a pastor/preacher. We're notorious for being long-winded. I applaud your friend for realizing that sex will do nothing good for your relationship. That is maturity beyond his years, especially in this day and age. I hope you realized the truth in what he said. It sounds like you really do want him to be happy. Did you know that God wants him to be happy too? And God wants you to be happy. And God prescribes in His Word what will make you and your friend happy. Do you know what that is? Obedience to His commands. Now instead of bore you and turn you off by listing out a whole bunch of commands, allow me to tell you what Jesus says. He said that all the commandments in the Word of God hang on, or are wrapped up, in just two commands. What are they? First, love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Basically, love Him first, best, and most. And secondly, love your neighbor as yourself. People say that you need to "love yourself more." Well, the Bible assumes (rightly, of course) that we love ourselves already. So it says to love others like you love yourself. So the equation goes like this: Loving God + loving others = happiness. You say, can it be that simple? Yes. Loving God and loving others means everything you do must be for the good of others and the glory of God. Now, we as humans, are in unredeemed flesh and we still sin. But we have an advocate with the Father who is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. All we need do is ask. Now, let's apply this. If you want to do what is good for Brad, then here are a couple of suggestions. Since there is an obvious physical attraction on both parts, stay in groups. Don't tempt him or yourself to engage in sexual activity. God says this is wrong. Second, if he has problems "letting people in," then you must find a way to get around his wall without busting it down. It is his responsibility to break down his walls. He will just resent whomever tries to force him. When someone has a wall up, it is a manifestation of his/her fear of being vulnerable. What he needs to learn is that in order to impact people's lives, he must be vulnerable. Jesus Christ was verbally and physically attacked all the time and yet He still died to save those who attacked him. THink about Judas Iscariot. Jesus let him be in his closest circle of friends for 3.5 years knowing that Judas would betray Him. That's vulnerability. Build Brad's trust. Be there to listen. Take up for him, but not when he's around. That will not help his insecurity. Be a true friend. And that's all I would suggest trying to be right now - a friend.
Now let me address a couple of things with you. First, you said that Brad "found God" and because of a chat you had with him, you now believe in God. Did you know that demons believe in God? That's right. Jesus said that demons believe in God and tremble with fear and respect. So how do we distinguish our belief from the demons? Demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God but reject Him as Lord and Savior. Their belief doesn't affect their behavior. Have you trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Believing that God exists is great, but in order for one to be saved, he/she must accept what Christ did on the cross and place faith in Him alone. It's not faith plus works. True, saving faith will produce good works, but good works won't save you. I hope you've trusted Christ as Savior. Without that, nothing else we've discussed is possible. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). This is every person's greatest need. If you've never accepted Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord, you can do that right now. I hope this has helped. If you need more help and/or have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. That's what I'm here for.

Being alone,
I think many of us can understand your problem. That's what the whole issue with all of us is when we are kids. It's not darkness that scares us, but being alone in the dark. I'm not saying you're necessarily scared, but it could be. Humans, by nature, are sociable creatures. That's how God made us. God said of Adam, "it is not good for man to be alone." So He created Eve. If you are a believer in Christ, remember that He has promised never to leave or forsake you. That means you're never alone!! If you're not a believer, I'd be more than happy to share more with you. Just let me know. Hope this helps.
