I'm not really sure what to say here..just that I need help, I need your prayer. My heart feels weak and I can just feel myself being over taken with sin, guilt and whatever other crap is floating around in my head. Pray that God will take the filthiness out of my head. (Request 1)
My life is good, I have a good family, good friends but no courage. I want to talk to my friends about God..but I get nervous, scared. I'm one of those people that always thinks they know how a person is going to react so I get overly nervous and just don't do it. Pray that God will give me the courage and the words to say to my friends. (Request 2)
Last request, this one is for one of my best friend Evan. Right now I can tell that his really stressed and protective over one of his friends (who is now pregnant, please pray for her) Just pray that God will give him the words to say to his friend and just to be calm about this and not do something he might regret. (Request 3)
Thank you for listening.

I'll be praying for you and as for request 1 and request 2, I know what you mean, I struggle with that stuff too, only for request 2 I somehow musture up some courage to speak to my friends... sometimes... not always sweatdrop , I mainly fail. I can honestly say I have friends whom I have not told the Gospel to, I just can't bring myself to preach the Gospel to people but God is just pushing me everytime to do it, like for example I got about a week to get the courage to preach the Gospel to my class because some people are leaving and it's gonna kill me from embarrasment but their soul hangs in the balance and this is one of the great commandments Jesus left us and I want them saved not damned. I always mess up when I preach it, I'm too leanient when I preach it to strangers and others including friends so this time I got this http://www.heartcrymissionary.com/resources/the-gospel-of-jesus-christ Guide line paper to help me lol I made copies for the whole class and teacher blaugh Oh the part says great delima was confusing but after thinking about it for like 2, 3 min I think it was talking about us crusifying christ, here check out these vids, I think they help and others I put as examples of ways to preach smile

The best thing you can do is image Jesus standing right there with you. Would you rather have his feelings hurt that you would not tell your friends about him or your friends upset because they do not wish to believe? Also think about this, what if the next time you see them is the last time you ever see them? I just read in my newspaper last week about a grandmother hit in the parking lot of a store and killed. The driver was rushing to get a parking spot and hit a parked car. The driver was going so fast that when they hit the parked car it caused their car to spin around hitting the grandmother. She was putting her granddaughter in the stroller. The toddler is believed to stable and will live. The daughter witnessed it all. Now if her mom was not saved at the time of her death and her daughter was a christian, what would she give to have one last word with her mom?

This is Just a push http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zph4YaG6UTgMatthew 10:33"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.2:Timothy 2:12If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us;Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, Romans 5:3-43(A)And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;2 Corinthians 12:12The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.Jesus said commands us to love your neighbore now is keeping the Gospel(which has the power to save) really a loveing thing to do? Their blood will be required at your hands Ezekiel 3:18"When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.I understand there are times we all fail but that's because we are new creatures that are housed in the flesh and the flesh had already made it a habit to sin, but just because we're housed in the flesh doesn't give us the right to sin, Jesus said we are new creatures and a true believer will NOT practice sin(notice I said practice not, "not sin" because a true believer will still sin unless God has not allowed them to do so). They practice righteousness. 1 John 3:10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brotherRomans 8:13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.Romans 6:1-41What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the (I)glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Mark 8:34-35 34And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
35"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.
