Hi. I am 17 years old and I seem to be in the midst of an emotion break down or something. I live with unsaved parents and I am going crazy. I try to remember my childhood, but I can only remember two things and they are both bad. I am afriad of God. I seem to feel like He wants me to be alone because it seems like everytime I get a good Godly friend something happens and they are no longer there. I have a boyfriend now and I sometimes sit and wonder how long until God takes him out of my life too. This may sound all crazy, but it is truely how I feel. If no one can give me anykind of advice please pray for me atleast. My real name is Jennifer Choate.

Praise God....Wsuuup shorty. Such a sweet and sincere heart.Ain't nothing wrong with you. Child you say you are afraid of God. This is a wrong kind of fear the one brought about by the bad things in your life.
He says that:
2 Tim 1:7
For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and sound mind.
So you shouldn't fear Him in that sense but in Reverence for who He is ;"God"
Look for love towards God and have love for your fellow men(Everyone including your unsaved parents). He cares for you. He does not want you to be alone.
He says in
Jer 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
He wants the best for you so instead of running away from Him try
Ps 37:4
Also delight yourself in the Lord, And he will give you the desires of your heart.
Baby gal people come and go but the Lord will be there to stay. There is no explanation for it. Ever heard the line people come for a reason, season or a lifetime? This doesn't mean that everyone will go. Enjoy what they bring in your life if they go maybe the Lord wanted them to help you through a tough time or to teach you a lesson which you might never have learnt without them being there.
My advice on your friends is to love them when they are they but keep your closest friend close for the word says
Proverbs 18:24
A man of many companions may be ruined, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Jesus will always be there.
As for your parents gal pray for them and even try sharing God's love with them. People who are not unsaved usurely look for some peace and all they need at times is for someone who has that peace and love in them. Little do they know it is form God.So be salt to the earth and light to the world. When the Lord is in you and you interceed for your parents and you TRUST in Him. He will do the impossible.
As for the bad childhood memories. The devil uses the past to torment. The Lord uses it to teach you
and he also declares in
Isaiah 43
18) "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19) Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
I will pray for you for I have been there. There was a time I feared God and couldn't relate to Him as my father b'coz my relationship with my earthly father was based on the terrifying fear.
But I found God as the father I did not comprehend and he has helped me understand my own father and we are o.k. so ...I understand.
Rest assured He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Isaiah 43
1) But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
2) When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
3)For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
4) Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
5) Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you;
6) I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, 7) every one who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
Read the rest of Isaiah 43(Lovely chapter)
Sorry I wrote so much but I just couldn't stop.
I have to go read. If you need to talk/chat..... e-mail me I would be glad to hear from you.
keep on pressing on in the pursuit of God.

hi country
What your are describing could
be a symptom of abuse from your
childhood. My wife has had the same experience-
not rememberig her childhood-
and it was because of the abusive
experiences which forced her to "repress"
or "block out" the things she couldn't
deal with as a child. I hope this is not
the situation for you, but abuse is very common
in our society, and I think you have a right to
be aware of the possibility.
A good thing for you to know is that
you are not alone in this and there is help
available and you won't always have to feel
his way.
This all may not sound very
"spiritual", but I have fouund that God works
in every situation we can find ourselves in.
The purpose of pain is to tell us something
is wrong and that we need to find
out what the problem is and
take care of it. If you sprained your ankle
and it didn't hurt you would continue
to walk on it and cause much more damage
to yourself.
I suggest that your quietly ask
around about what conseling options are
available to you at this time.
I will pray for you and if you want
to contact me or my wife we will try to
help if we can. Just send an email.
I know you have a bright future ahead.
RK
look both ways

...hmm..that's a good advice roadkill. True, God does work in different ways. Counselling could be it, if what roadkill is saying decribes you. I know speaking for myself...I know I am into medicine because I believe I will be God's healing hands on earth to many people in my very near future.
Hang on...
