I have a problem. Being a christian is hard as a young person. But how come one min i'm not remembering God and doing my own thing, the next min im on fire for God and make plans i can't keep!! Somebody that knows God help me!! Pray for me! The battle is getting harder!!

I'll pray 4 ya!!

Thank You, God bless you!!

Forgive me, but im laughing real hard. _{( i laugh at things normal humans won't laugh at)}

Anyways, I think u just need to be stronger in Christ. I mean don't make promises u know u won't keep. Don't promise God u'll win 200 souls for him within 4 days, when u know u can't even walk up to one person and talk about christ.

Just do you, and enoy being a christian. U don't have to put all these burdens of "rock-hard" believers who r prolly just doing what they do for the world. And not genuinely for christ.

Well, If you're a real christian, u'll know what's right and wrong in the eyes of God. So when your doing something wrong, stop it.

I know God wouldn't want you doing things u know u can't do. So just stop making all these plans and fail to keep them. It's better to be a "u only christian" than to try an be a "i will preach to everybody, but fail to do so christian".

Uhmm, it's logical, stop making plans u won't keep. Ask for forgiveness, I'm sure God will forgive u. And go and sin no more. Then again, i'll pray for you.

I have a problem. Being a christian is hard as a young person,

Very veryvery true. Its so hard to be a Christian and a young person at the same time. Why? because everything around us as young people are at war against everything Godly.

But how come one min i'm not remembering God and doing my own thing, the next min im on fire for God and make plans i can't keep!! Somebody that knows God help me!! Pray for me! The battle is getting harder!!

1-min with God, the next doing your own thing, no sweat, it just shows that you are perfectly human, and theres no problem with that. Nobody can pray for you better than yourself, coz when that person stops praying for you, you're back to square-1. My advice: draw near to God, He will draw near to you. How? Read your Bible, Pray always and think about doing right things.

Did you know what: what you think about plays out who you are. If you think about yourself, you'll remain yourself. If you think about God, He'll help you to become like Him, He'll help you to do what is right, and what pleases Him. Very soon, things you found hard to do before will get done in a jiffy.

good luck!!!!

true talk. I shoulda waited for ur reply so i can quote u and say "exactly".

I remember when i was writing my JSE (Junior seconday Exam), i don't know what i was expecting, but i told God that if He lets me pass the exam i'll buy Him a goat. Now i wonder what i was thinking, knowing now that the cattle on a thousand hill are His! foolishness of a child. Upon the promise i had one funny result like that! don't ask.

Don't be fooled, we all go through it, even old christians have struggles too, so you'll do well to know you're not alone in your struggle, but the bible says it's not by power, but by His Spirit (Zech 4:6). In this walk with God, what we need is His Spirit helping us. I heard Donnie Mcklurkin say something in his song We Fall Down, "he said don't make God any promises." So, don't, cuz by our own ability we can't do anything, but once you know it's by His grace and not your works or how you try to impress Him, you'll see yourself living for God.

Just embrace His spirit, the struggles have nothing to do with age, it's the flesh, so just walk in His Spirit--always pray, don't feel ashamed to pray about ANY issue, don't think it's too small to worry God about an issue, that's a lie from the pit of hell, God is interested in your every detail. I tell you, cuz this is what i practise also. You'll be shocked at what i tell Him. If somebody annoys me, so that i don't curse the person i lament to God! if i'm hurt, i tell Him, constantly be aware of His presence, that's the best that i can tell you to do, so you can be of one temperature for God--be aware of His presence, and study your bible, read good christian materials, listen to christian music, in short, surround yourself with things that promote God. You'll be fine, just be God conscious.

No, I loved your advice too, it was just not what i was expecting to hear. But this is how God is. He corrects those he loves so God just spoke through you! God bless =)
