God's supposed to be everything
I grew up in a christian home. I'm almost 18 and still everything in my life is God this God that. I believe in him but that doesn't make my problems go away. I'm always crying, have the blues, feel alone, feel anger, sad, somedays I just don't feel like doing anything but lay around. But everytime I try to show to my parents that I have a problem I get God shoved in my face. Sometimes I just want to run away from home...but I know that won't solve anything. What should I do? If I stick around home anylonger I'm afraid that I'll do something to myself again.

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
you just need to get to know God, so he can make your problems all better! if you havent been ASKING God to help u, he wont..the bible says "ask and it shall be given...seek and yee shall find...knock and the door shall be opened unto you, opened in Gods time...yee have not because yee ask not...so seek and yee shall find...for the LORD gives good things in his time" so u just need 2 ask God in prayer!! i hope it helps!! o-and they arent shoving God in your face-he is the answer to your problems....so they are trying to help!! just try to listen and if you dont understand, then tell them that!! okie dokie?? rele hope it works out 4 ya!! --melmel88--

Ok the questions isnt did you grow up in a Christian home but are you a Christian. there is a huge difference. I mean God knows you are there and he hears you are hurting and he is reaching for you,and he wants you to be his he wants to be able to comfort you. if you are a Christian you have definetely strayed or you just arent listening to what He has to say. talk to your pastor or youth pastor never hurts they will understand and they can give you amazing scripture to help you

Maybe you need a fresh start or something. Seeing that you're eighteen and guessing you're a senior in highschool or close to it. Maybe you should apply to a christian college for atleast one year if not the entire 4. Being around fellow brothers and sisters in Christ can really help your relationship with God. I too sometimes have moments when I don't think He's listening, but it's that I'm not paying attention. Just try that and pray for the best
*the power of prayer is a wonderful thing. Ask people to pray for you.
Hope it works out
God Bless

grow stronger in God, you always have room for growth. and dont just lay around the house, share God's love with others, join your church's youth group, since ur almost 18 i bet you could find a job up at the church too. get involved with God and maybe you wont feel so alone and you'll be able to relax more.

I've been in that same position. The only reason you are going through those things is because it will make you stronger. The devil wants to do any and everything he can to make you NOT FOCUS on God. Well, let me tell you that the one way things can start to change is by PRAYING. Have a lifestyle of prayer is the one thing that can help the problems in your life. I noticed that when I started praying mre things started to change in my life. And don't just pray for yoself pray for others you know need help. Jesus Loves you so much, but he can't help you if you don't talk tohim in prayer and tell him what's up. He's a friend that will never leave your side. Also change the music you listen to. Only listen to Christian music. Secular music will mess up your day in a minute. You need to see and hear things that will streghten your spirit.
-God Bless you

Try to talk to your parents that this bothers you,and if you get God shoved in your face,it's probably better to tell your problems to a best friend or something like that

Since I'm rated 5 which is best experienced I'm pro at telling advice but your problem needs someone in your position so do this e-mail at ma101mi@yahoo.com the best advice i can give for you right now is to at least tell your parents how you feel and if that doesn't work you need to get a job and get you enough money to go to college or get your own house.
Please rate

Personally I am not religious and I'm agnostic. Maybe you don't agree with me, but at least you can see a different point of view. Life is what you make it. No matter how hard it is, you have to hang in there and keep reaching for the stars. If you give up you'll never die happy. Whether there is a god or not god obviously hasn't been helping a lot of people. Just look at how many people are suffering all around the world. We can't rely on someone that we've never proved to be there and someone that hasn't helped us.

It's a good thing you know you have a problem and you tried telling your parents. Obviously they cannot help you, so I suggest you get professional help. You can join a support group. You can talk to your friends. The more you lay around the more you'll feel depressed. You have to get out there and do something. It could be going to the movies. It could be doing community service. Do something! Get active! Realize that being depressed and not getting help is selfish. There are people that have died before ever living life and there are people that can't even possibly get help. Just remember suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem and that hurting yourself is only temporary relief.
I hope all becomes well.

I know they're your parents and all, but live your own life, dont let them make you believe anything you dont want to, or do any thing you dont want to. I think its great that you believe in God, but your whole life should not revolve around him. You should be able to go out and have fun. Your 18, either move out, or have some days to spend with your friends, girl!! If you need any more advice, lemme know. God bless girl, hope i helped!

you need to get out of the house, Gather some friends and go shopping go to the movies or have a sleepover....

well i know this will sound even worse but i think you should pray mabey get involved with a deciple ship group if yuor church has them i am sorry you feel that way running away is not the answer!
hope i helped.

You need to talk to someone outside of your home for awhile. I suggest friends but if they just won't listen I have MSN messenger and you can add me lindsey@cpaz.net. I'd love to listen and I won't shove God in your face. As for the parents, tell them that you do believe in God but that you would like some help from parents right now. You are a human being and do need help from other human beings once in awhile. Tell them how you feel and if they won't listen keep talking. If you yell loud enough they'll listen.

You need to find a good strong Christian mentor who isn't "God this, God that", but instead just tells things how they are. The whole "believe because it's right" thing actually pisses me off - I believe a reasons should be intellectual more than blind following. God wants people to accept and love Him because of who he is, not because their authority figures told them to. Anyway...
It sounds like you might have something like dysthymia. It's a kind of dull, drawn-out depression. Or maybe you have something as severe as clinical depression. Or maybe you've just got a lot of stress. Whatever it is, you need to find a source of help that doesn't shove God down your throat - that will only drive you away.
]
First of all, don't do stuff to yourself. Also, just go for a walk, or a nice calm place ( lieka park) to think. Honestly, God will help you, but I think what you really need is to think about YOUR thoughts.
]
find someone with a punching bag (or buy one) and take your anger out on that. If you're sad about something, find a close friend and talk to them. Venting makes you feel a lot better.
]
It sounds to me like you're fighting a bout of depression. If your parents won't help, ask a trusted adult to assist you in finding help. A handy number for you to have is 1-800-273-TALK. It's toll-free and they have counselors to get you through this difficult period.
Hope this helps.

i agree with the person who said its depression and you should talk to a doctor..this is serious but with talking to someone and medicine things will get better! its a fact that something like 1 in 5 ppl become depressed througout life and only 1 in 3 of the depressed people seek help..dont turn into that statistic!
maybe talk to your church leader?..a good spiritual talk with him will maybe help you restore faith
i hope i helped you out a little
