I need help, and I have many places to turn, but none of them seem as mabey helpful as this might be. I want to know, if I belive in God.
WHY DO I RUN FROM CHRIST? I know him, I belive in him, I feal his prescence... I used to scold my friends for, watching Family guy, Simpsons, and even listening to the Beatles or System of a down and stuff.... But now I'm doing these very things. I'm Jonah! From the bible.... I pray, and then God tells me to go to Nineveh and to cry out agianst it's wickedness (MY BEST FRIENDS ARE NINEVEH). But then I flee, and I go to a boat to ride to flee from God. Then the Lord cast a STORM and that the SHIP was about to broken up
(My family is the ship and the Storm is what is happening to them). Don't you see? I've been running from God so long, he is casting a storm because he is angry. And it's hurting my family. None of them pray. My brother is agnostic. My mother is a "Christian" and so is her boyfriend. But I see it in them, they are NOT. So now I seek help. I know I have to stop running from God, but this is much bigger than that. Can anyone help me?

Its tough walking the path of Christ. This world is full of temptations and hardships which make it very difficult to live the way God wants us too. The best thing you can do is not give up. Keep spending time with God, praying, and ask God how to reach your family. Do they go to church? If they don't, persuade them too, and if they do, try to bring up questions about your core belifes. Maybe in talking to them you can help them realize where they have fallen. Just be carful not to out right convict them, they might not listen to you after that. What ever you do, be patient, be kind, and keep praying for guidence. I'll keep you in my prayers.

That happens to all belivers in christ. Satan wants you to stop, he puts little doubts in your head. We all to fall short of Jesus, but he will not let go of us.

God Bless You,

God doesn't get angry at people and he doesn't make people do things. God wants you to choose. YOU

God is always with you, even if you do not realize it. The devil is playing tricks on you to lure you down the path of evil. But even when you think God has abandoned you, he is always there, guiding you along.
I hope you realize this, and that your family does to.
