after summer 2003...my boyfriend broke up with me that summer...I thought we were for real...well that following year I was starting 7th grade...I started losing faith in everything and everyone...I started skippin school, gettin in fights, hating everyone, getting lower grades than usual...I thought there was no life beyond my ex boyfriend...I never actually prayed...I'd do it everyonce in a while...and then I'd always have second thoughts towards "him" cuz even when i think positive and pray nothing ever happens for better than for worse...how do I start trusting and believing "he" IS there?

Squirrel_on_fire13 answered Saturday October 16 2004, 10:43 am: Ok, Read your scriptures first of all. Ok, and with praying, I used to find the same thing, but then I noticed it was the same prayer since I was 3!!! "Dear Hevenly father, please bless mommy and daddy Davie tommy and Jacob, please bless grandma and grandpa ...." you know, just basics. but when you repent it's a big thing too, you can't JUST pray, you have to really want somthing, or really want to change. you have to have faith before you can belive. you can go to your Bishop or Counciler at Church. ask them about it, they'll be happy to help. I'm sure. they'll give you really some great advice.
JesusFreak2006 answered Saturday September 18 2004, 4:46 pm: Sometimes you cant ask questions and just believe blindly in faith...I've been in your place doubting if he really is there speccially when my dad had to have heart surgeory and the very same week my mom also had to have surgeory its tough....there is no specific way i can tell you to start believing or trusting in Him you havta make that step on your own...but the thing i do when i doubt is look at beauty of the world...there is nothing that could create such awesomeness besides our Lord and also just because God doesnt answer a pray dont mean he aint there...maybe it isnt time for the pray to be answered or something else...but i can tell you one thing God will never waste a hurt, he will use this in you to help someone else whose going through the same thing...i will pray for you...God Bless [ JesusFreak2006's advice column | Ask JesusFreak2006 A Question ]
Godsman answered Saturday September 18 2004, 12:17 am: You asked "how can I trust and believe 'he' IS there?" and the answer is in the question itself. The way to trust and believe in "Him" is just that...(Trust and believe in "Him")..you just have to do it! haha...I don't know how to say it any different. So the answer is very simple but the task can be difficult, I know. Here are a few verses that I want you to read from Luke 12:24-28
>>24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
See God knows that we are going to have "untrust" and "disbelief" or else this passage wouldn't be in the Bible. And there are some others also like it. It is human nature to not believe in God because you can not physically see feel or touch Him unless you first believe in Him. Try not to lose that faith. Pray that God will help you to keep your faith and he will help you because, believe me, that is not something he wants u to lose!! If you need anymore help feel free to ask me more. I hope I have helped some! God Bless. [ Godsman's advice column | Ask Godsman A Question ]

Paige answered Saturday August 28 2004, 1:32 pm: i am Going through the same thing, because I have always been told he was there, and I just wasn't sure. I prayed, I did about everything I could do and I am still not sure but there are times when something really bad happends and I pray and then somehow it gets better. I think you should just stick it out and just see what happends, and let me know how it goes! rate Please! ~Paige~ [ Paige's advice column | Ask Paige A Question ]
xo_APRiL answered Saturday August 28 2004, 10:08 am: I think you should try to talk to somebody that you trust about this, also maybe a preacher or a youth minister could help. [ xo_APRiL's advice column | Ask xo_APRiL A Question ]
