I was baptized a christian and my father was very heavy in church! i am starting to feel as if there is no jesus, don't even go to church anymore! I have had such a hard life and is till this day continuing at 28! i have tried my hardest to provide the best life i can for myself but everytime i get a step forward and get pushed back 2 steps! everytime i ask for help and pray,pray,pray he's never there! I have done nothing wrongful in my life for him to punish me the way he has! and have suffered greatly as well as my family, it's like when are we ever gonna get a break, we do everything the right way but still suffer!!! how do i get myself to believe in him again?

There are a few issues to discuss here, so, I am going to break them down.
1. "I was baptized a christian and my father was very heavy in church!"
***Being baptized does not make you a christian. being baptized is an outward symbol once you become a christian. Its purpose is for the church and the world to know that you have accepted Christ and are now a follower of him.
1A. Your father's faith cannot get you to heaven or help you to believe in Christ. You must do that own your own.
2. Why do you think you have had such a hard life?
*** I believe that happiness come from within. though David said that when he was out of God's will that his "bones turned to dust" and he "groaned (or hurt) all day"
So, maybe that is why you feel as though you have had a bad life. I cannot know. That knowledge can only come from examining yourself.
3. "when are we ever gonna get a break, we do everything the right way but still suffer"
***My family is suffering now. My aunt has been diagnosed with liver cancer for a year, and has had part of her liver removed this week. However, we are not wallowing in sorrow. We are praising God that through HIS power she will be made whole and will not need transplant. So far she has had NO pain. Who has ever heard of pain free cancer? That is GOD!
*********************
Examine your heart and your life. Maybe, you did not understand the decision that you made when you were baptized and that is OK. Maybe God is testing the faith of your family. My great-grandmother used to tell me.
"THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN, BUT THE FRUIT STILL GROWS IN THE VALLEY"
(by the way she lived to be 103)
