lately, i feel that i am not as close to God as i used to before. i start to feel that i actually dont really care about Him. but actually i also feel the fear of not being able to believe God at all in the end. i try to read Bible, pray, and even watch sermons on television, but they seem to have no effects.

lately i have also been anxious to face the doom's day. i am not sure what we will face after that. the Bible says that we will live forever, either in heaven or hell. the word "forever" scares me. i cannot imagine a life without an end, and based on my experience, its really hard to believe something that i cannot imagine. i know that i should not doubt God, but i just cant help it.

what should i do know? (beside taking to my parents and priest because i have done that as well)
 
I think we ALL have been there before.. esp. with the wavering faith... It all seems a just little too good to be real...and all you see in the world is sin and more sin... What you can never forget is Jesus will love YOU regardless. It took me a long time to realize that once I told Jesus he can have it all... my life, my soul, my everything... it was a done deal. You're IN! Even if doubts arise... even if you turn on God... He will NOT let YOU go... :)

You WILL still sin... no matter how hard you try... you must accept that. Funny thing though is that you will feel a new sense of guilt and will be truly sorry for what you did. Maybe not in your moment of defiance but you will ... :) The trick is to sincerely ask God for forgiveness and move on with life. I personally used to think I always had to drag my baggage with me as a "reminder"... it is NOT so... :) Give it to Jesus and LEAVE it.

Likewise, forever does seem kinda long doesn't it... I mean really? So in a 100 trillion years we still gonna be in heaven and still happy and content???

YES!

Jesus is infinite... so along with "forever" always add "infinite" - as in He could easily with just a thought create 100 trillion universes... each more complex and amazing than the next... with 1000000 dimensions in each... all of which we can explore.

What I'm trying to say is...God has a plan!! And the plan is solid. Focus on getting to heaven first... THEN we can discuss the forever deal...:)

Mungkin itu maksudnya, Jesus slalu Ada untuk kamu Dan aq dimanapun kita. Balik kejalannya lis, jujur skrng aq yg khwtir kalo km kek gtu soalny kita gak pernah tau kapan wktu kita di bumi ini. Jgn sampe kita mati dengan rsa ketidak percayaan kita sama Dia. Itu bahaya lis, intinya slama ini aq kaya nyeramahin iya karna hal itu .jgn pernah bca alkitab dengan logika lis bca alkitab kaya kamu baca pesan orang Yang paling kamu sayang. Dia cuma pengen kamu dateng ke Dia. Curhat Dan seberapa kamu sangat butuh Dia ,Dia nangis kalo kamu sedih bahkan gak percaya .Dia gak pernah ninggalin saat smua orang ninggalin, Dia mati buatt kmu Dan kita smua, Dia yg bisa bikin kamu pinter kaya sekarang, Dia yg bisa bikin kamu bisa main lagu night changes, Dia yg peduli saat kamu gak peduli, dan Dia yg slalu pengen kamu utk balik ke jalanNya. U are alone,and never alone.
 
Oh, Elisabet, That's human fallibility. We've all been there. It's a good time to put your heart, grotesque as it might be, under the microscope of God's Word and examine it there. When I go through these times of doubt, I spend a lot of time on my knees praying, and in God's Word examining myself and getting to know again who God is. Finding the sins in my life by seeing His Light on my rags and filthiness, and with his help ruthlessly destroying them. I don't remember who this quote is by, but I think of it often: God is holy, eternal and unchanging. When you feel far from God, guess who moved?" It's a scary thought, but one well worth pondering.

I'm praying for you sis. :)

Thank you for this. I really need to feel closer to God, and thanks for reminding that He actually always wants to be close to us as well. Thanks for being such a blessing :)

I'll ask God to do something, he will do something but he loves making people wait.

Do not worry about it. Just focus on the absolute truth that Jesus is the way , the truth and the life. And He is our last chance to escape eternal torment. You can't grasp the idea of the everlasting life because you are thinking in the limited human and evil body. I also thought about it before like how boring it must be to live forever doing what? But those doubts are from the devil. The glorified body is more fitting in the everlasting life. Have faith in God not because of those fears you are having but because He is God Almighty. And He is good and merciful.

Gods very cool, if I was going to sum up what kind of character God is I'd say Doctor Who. He does travel back and foward through time, but in your head space. It's thought time, you re-live crucial memories so you can re-experience them in the right light. Then your present thinking changes, then you change.

IKR... He is the coolest.
 
we have all had our doubts at one point and most of us have strayed away from GOD at one point in our lives my advice to you is live one day at a time as much as possible I tend to think so far in the future myself ask yourself this question can I just get through today being a good christian and focus on the hear and now. Often times getting wrapped up in the big picture is not best sometimes it is best to look at the small things. I can tell you that GOD does not like people to pick and choose when they want to be christian he wants us to believe all the time with our whole hearts so you need to do some souls searching and praying and decide who you want to be as long as your trying and searching this means you still have some faith or you would not be here so I pray that you find the answers it is not easy but one day at a time it can be done
p.s. you are also at an age when your peers influence you a bunch so try not to fall into a group of people who do not accept you for who you are .
