Every Human person on this earth has had problems, even God! hebrews 2:18 says: "For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." So when you start worrying over that boy who said things about you that aren't true, or you keep slipping back into that old habit that "you just can't quit" God has given you these temptations to make you stronger. and "yes" there is a escape to these problems of ours, 1 Corithians 4:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." So even though you think "The Whole worlds crashing in on you" your not the only one experincing these problems, they've been passed down through generations, just like that ugly sweater your grandma gave to you for Christmas 4 years ago! (I'm just joking grandma i love the sweater!) And there is a way out, though it may not be the way you want out, it will be the way God wants you out. In the end these problems will make you a stronger Christian and you'll have a stronger relationship with God! So keep headstrong and keep your eyes on God and we will get through this together! (Because im experiencing the same problems!) Until next time, Christian Colliflower http://teen-to-teen.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/5532f09daba3ce08d167051fff6347ba_4974e025.writeback Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:18:45 -0600 As a teenager going to a public school and being a christian can be tough! not only do you have school work to worry about, but you also have a reputation to uphold. You are a solider of God in a secular world of sex, drugs and many things the media put off as "acceptable." A christian can easily fall into temptation, but we must not, as a solider of God we must pass on his teachings. If your hearing this for the first time it could be overwhelming do not worry John 14: 16- 17 says "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever in the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." In other words this passage is saying dont worry you have a comforter that most of the world doesnt; God. so what if you dont know how to tell a person about God? Thats ok if you know God spiritually then the passage says that God dwells in you and he will help you. God can help you in many ways though he might lead you to a youth pastor or a pastor. God could lead you to the Bible, but you must not disobey because that might lead to a soul lost to eternity in Hell.So the next time someone ask you why are you acting so Godly ? you tell them because "God dwells in me! untilnext time, ChristianColliflower http://teen-to-teen.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/3ef0637d1d28817e67d682e35b11662d_4974dfe6.writeback Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:17:42 -0600 In today's day in age a teenager's life is filled with problems. No matter if your problem's about school work, who's spreading rumors, or who's going out with who? These situations can be filled with anxiety. Some people try to fix their problems through drugs, hanging out with the wrong crowd , or just by giving up but i strongly urge you not to! First, while these problems feel like there impossible to fix; there not 1 Corithians 10:13 says "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." in other words this passage means God will give you nothing you cant handle. While these problem's might not end up the way you want them to, in the end it will be in God's will. Second, why worry aout problems when you have someone who you can cast all your cares upon; God. 1 peter 5:7 says "cast all your cares upon him cause he cares for you." So the next time that group of people keep talking about you, a big test is on its way, or your family is going through struggles just ask God he will help you because he loves you and wants the best for you. Now this doesnt mean you can go to school and sleep all day, you must put forth effort but with the mighty power of God on your side the problems will be much easier. Anxiety is a big problem i especially have a problem with anxiety comes to school work, and though it might sound hard to just forget about all your problems; once you do things will be alot easier!
