ok to day i went to a bible study at school, I used to go to church and youth group but the youth minister left the church and i havent been back since....but anyway today when i was there things where really emotional...people were crying and they asked us to bow our heads and asked who wanted to be saved...the asked us to raise our hands and then the leaders came over and prayed over them...But I felt scared to raise my hand....Im regreting it now....I want God in my life but I'm afraid Ive missed my chance.
<3
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner
and need Your forgiveness.
I was made for You, but I've been living for me.
I want to begin a relationship with You now.
I believe that You died in my place,
to pay the penalty for my sin,
and rose again for my salvation.
I want to turn from my sins.
I now invite You to come into my heart
and life as my Lord and Savior.
In Jesus' name, Amen. [ AngelKMC65's advice column | Ask AngelKMC65 A Question ]

SecretWhispers answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 3:17 pm: Don't be afraid to miss you chance. There are a million chances a day to get God into your life. You shouldn't be afraid to be saved, because no one will look down on you about it, they would actually welcome you with a warm heart and be joyful that you are coming into God's Family. As for trying to find a way to be saved, you should go back to that church and talk it over with someone like perhaps the Youth pastor. There is always a way for you to get God in your heart, you just have to look hard enough. [ SecretWhispers's advice column | Ask SecretWhispers A Question ]

Ask_me_you_idiot answered Tuesday May 31 2005, 3:16 pm: You don't need to be at any special service for God to be in your life. You can ask him yourself. He can even hear you if you say it in your head. No one can stand between you and God. Don't worry. You will never miss your chance with God. He'll always be waiting for you.

aeromonkey answered Thursday May 19 2005, 5:10 pm: You don't need someone to pray over you to believe. All you need to do is recognize you've sinned. Repent for your sin, ask God to forgive you, and accept his gift of eternal life. You can do that in your own home. Try the Romans Road... Romans 3:23 Romans 6: 23 and so on... God was working in your heart that night. you don't have to wait for another meeting... pray as soon as you can He's always open for anyone to come.
Justine answered Saturday May 14 2005, 2:11 am: You never miss your chance with God.
It's as easy as saying a prayer of "God, I want you in my life."
It's normal to feel scared. I always have a tugging at my heart at church, and sometimes I don't respond to it. It's because we're human. We dont like to be put on the spot like that.
It's okay though, God loves you, and he knows what your heart feels.
Just say the simple prayer that Van_10 said. She gave really good advice. Talk to a pastor if it's easier.
Van_10 answered Monday May 9 2005, 9:35 am: everyone get scared , i am a strong christain, and i believe that evryone deserves a second chance, itcould be that it wasnt you chnce then , and now you can take opportunity now , stop dweeling in the past, focus on the present and if you believe in God, not just a christain by name anything is possible
A-reynolds-C answered Sunday May 8 2005, 5:49 pm: You dont have to have someone pray over you or be in a church to be saved.. all you have to do is pray to God!! You can just say a little prayer like this:
Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner, and that I need you in my life, Lord. I want to be able to call on you in my happy and sad times.. and be able to know you are there for me when I am going through tough times. I want to be able to know that I have eternal life, and will go to heaven and be by your side when I die. Lord forgive me of my sins of the past, come into my heart Lord God.. make my heart whole. I love you Lord!
In Jesus Name,Amen.
xdesireex0 answered Saturday May 7 2005, 10:26 pm: I know exactly how you are feeling! I really haven't been in church for a long time, not really long, but it has felt like a long time. Anyways, my school has a bible study called first priority and my friends invited me to go listen to a guest speaker. This guy was AMAZING! He totally opened my eyes and made me see that I truly needed to go to God and pray with God. Because God is always listening no matter what. God gave his life for us and wants us to love him just as much. This following weekend, my friend invited me to go to church with her and her family and my other friend invited me to her youth group. Once you put your foot back in the door, God's just gonna pull you in with open arms. I hope I helped!!
Keep me posted!

OoOSNAPxItsBLONDE answered Saturday May 7 2005, 5:33 pm: NO NO NO! You never will miss your chance with God. Next time you go back to church ask to be saved maybe in private or maybe with just a few people around. I used to go to church with a friend and the same thing happened with me. I always knew I had God but I felt the way u do. I went to church camp with them the next summer and got saved in front of everyone bcas I was then comfortable. But looking back I wish I wouldve asked. BTW:: when I was saved it was so emotional and it was a beautiful feeling. .it seems like i blacked out and came back with God in my life! Its amazing! =)
ddancergirlsexiho answered Saturday May 7 2005, 12:57 pm: God will always be in ur life...NO MATTER WHAT....And there is always a chance with god..HOPE I HELPED...
GodRockz91 answered Saturday May 7 2005, 12:04 pm: No, you haven't missed your chance, God, is a God of mercy and grace .. You don't have to be in a church to accept Jesus in your heart, you can be on the street, as long as you mean it sincerely ..
There is a high and holy call of God on your life
to live
to shine
to breathe
to die
for the glory of God.
“If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me” Matthew 10:39
Just pray to God and ask him to come into your heart, that your sorry for your sins, And that you want your name written in the lambs book of life .. God is a mighty and understanding God ..
FunnyCide answered Saturday May 7 2005, 12:50 am: No way man! You haven't missed your chance. I'll lead now, and I'm sure others have, too. Don't listen to skeptics who say "You take this too seriously, lighten up". They are wrong. I am on the winning side of the battle, and soon you shall be, too!
First, there is one way to Heaven. This is salvation through Jesus Christ. All you must do to be saved is say a simple prayer. The one that follows is acceptable:
"Dear Heavely Father, I know that I'm a sinner. I know that I've done things that I shouldn't have. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I know who You are, You are the Living God; and Your Son is Jesus Christ. Please, Jesus, come into my heart and be my eternal Savior. Thank you, Lord!
In Christs' name I pray,
Amen."
If you pray that prayer, or one similar to it, with all your heart and soul - and mean it, you shall be on the winning side of the battle with me!
Do not let Satan get you down. He will try. Stand fast in your faith, raise your hand now and become one of God's children! A child of light! What a beautiful thing that is!
You have never missed a chance to ask God into your heart.
I can image your being scared to raise your hand. I know I was when I became a Christian. I was only seven years old, and I was so afraid. But, I suppose that when you're younger, things such as fear don't matter that much anymore.
I beg of you, pray that prayer. Ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior forever.
crazzzynluvwithu answered Friday May 6 2005, 11:38 pm: you've totally not lost your chance! just because you didn't raise your hand doesnt mean your not saved. you dont have to go to church and be prayed over to be saved! all you have to do is pray! good luck!

SuperSwimmer303 answered Friday May 6 2005, 11:37 pm: your relationship with God is something all your own. you have tons of chances, and it's almost impossible to miss them. did some people raise their hands? yes. were they probably nervous too? you bet. don't be afraid to say you want God in your life. God is the best person to go to for any advice. sometimes it's hard to understand, so if you're uncomfortable, it's a good idea to ask someone annonymously (did i spell that right?) like you did here. all i'm saying is, you will always have a relationship with God as long as you beleive in him.

KaTiE_LyNn answered Friday May 6 2005, 11:24 pm: you can never miss a chance to ask God into your heart. God listens to you no matter when it is or where you are. and you can say the prayer on your own. it comes from your heart. bow your head and close your eyes, focus in on God and say this prayer.. "God, my life is incomplete without you in my life. i understand that you sent your Son to die for me because you love me that much. i`m a sinner and i realize that. please forgive me for all of my sins and enter into my heart so that i may live a life for You." or you can say your own prayer, no matter what make sure you mean it. also read your Bible and attend church as much as possible. next time you go, ask someone you trust to pray for you, trust me it really does help to know someone is supporting you.

Micah answered Friday May 6 2005, 11:21 pm: youve never missed your chance.. its never too late to have God in your life. its okay to be scared.. but really you dont need to be, because everyone there doesnt care if you raise your hand, they will be happy to know that you are with them. and they will accept you, there is nothing to be scared of. but you dont have to wait until buble study or church to have God in your life. im not going to tell you any steps to having God because i dont know your denomination.. feel free to ask me a question or IM me.. i can help be more informed on how to go along with being saved. [ Micah's advice column | Ask Micah A Question ]
therocketsummer answered Friday May 6 2005, 10:53 pm: You haven't missed you're chance. God wants you to become a believer just as bad as you want to be one. It's alright to be scared, For the fear of the Lord is a healthy fear. Fear nothing else, but the Lord. You don't have to wait for bible study school to accept Christ, you can do it on you're own. I'm not going to tell you what to pray, but I will tell you the basic idea.
1. Tell him you want him in your life.
2. Why you want him in your life.
It's usually I scarey thing when leaders ask you to raise your hand if you're not saved, and at times can be embarassing. Don't be scared, but be delighted that God is calling those leaders into your life to allow you to spend eternal life with him. Be thankful not scared.
