      @Ele_multiedits I was in your situation when I was your age. Pray and ask God for a Christian peer to come into your life. Pray to find a local church to go to. Fellowship with other Christians is so important - we are not meant to be alone, we are united as the body of Christ. May God grow your faith as you connect with a local community that loves Jesus

    1. Commit your life to God.
    2. Hate sin
    3. Don't get into bed with temptation.
    4. Be careful what you watch and listen to.
    5. Stop hanging out with lukewarm people.
    6. Get in community with people on fire for God
    7. Get to know a real relationship with God
    8. Read the Bible and let it renew your mind.
    9. Abide in Christ through obedience and prayer.
    10. Spend time with God every single day.

My sister has found God, my brother has found God, and my mom is extremely supportive of all of us. I still pray for my parents to find their way back to the Lord, and I see it happening soon for my mom. Ashley has continued to help me in my faith journey, and I pray for my faith and my family’s faith to grow and that we become more connected with the Lord. Praise the Lord!

      Don’t worry! Pray to God and He will show you how to help them. He loves them even more than you do and He wants them to know Him. One of the biggest things that will show your friends and family that God is so good is by being a good example and living a Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 12 And don't let anyone put you down because you're young.” I really hoped that helped and I will be praying for you! I am a teenager so I understand how it feels to have friends who don’t understand God. I am here to talk if you need to even if this is just a comment section!

      @@refilwemekgwe4600 You aren’t in it alone! ❤️ I totally understand feeling the shame. I’ve been listening to devotionals talking about how the shame that causes us to repent is a good thing because it causes us to talk to God about what we’ve done wrong, but we also don’t have to continue to live in that shame because of Christ’s sacrifice. Once we bring it before the Lord, then we can leave the shame behind and walk forward in His grace and mercy. 💕 Easier said than done, so I still struggle with it, but He is teaching me:)

    I used to go to this church that didn't help me grow. some of the pastors put politics in their messages, and I felt like an outcast in the youth group because no one wanted to hang out with the lukewarm (baby Christens is what my bf calls us lol) kids. because of that, I never get that since of community that I needed. I had a tug on my heart to move churches but at the same time I was struggling with my faith. I started to look like everyone else and almost rejected God all together. Then I met my boyfriend and he saw me for who I was and not this version of myself I made it was crazy, but I know God put him in my life for a reason. I have now moved churches, and my eyes opened to see so much I didn't know about being a God follower. I now play DnD with other Christens, and I'm starting to build a community with them. I've truly changed as a person because I'm slowly growing in my relationship with him, because I finally have the tools I need.

    one thing that has always been helpful for me in my lukewarm seasons is reminding myself why I do all these things to get closer to God. it's not because I want to be a "good Christian," it's because doing things like reading the Bible, praying, and following God's commandments as best I can shows me God's character in a way I can't understand if I don't engage with Him on a consistent basis. I used to just go through the motions to look good from the outside and make everyone think I was great and I barely sinned at all, but I realized that's not the point of doing all these things - it's actually to know God better and build that personal relationship with my literal Creator. switching my mindset helped me so much to build discipline and stoke a fire for Jesus and getting to know Him so maybe it'll help some of you too :) Jesus loves you no matter how "good" or "bad" of a Christian or person you think you are and so do I

    Now 14 I feel this hunger and thirst to get to know God. God has saved me and is still helping me with the temptation to go back to that sin. I feel like I am not doing enough. I feel like I am lukewarm and not doing enough. You have really helped. I feel sad I didn't get to know him when I was younger. But I have learned Gods timing is perfect! Though I live in the state of Mormons and we go to church evey sunday and I just do not know if it is the right religion. Especially because of what my ward and maybe othere wards as well, are accepting.

    I feel like I am conforming to the ways people behave, and the relationships I have with them because I feel hopeful that they will change for the better. Although it's not a bad thought, I feel that I have been focusing on their lives & being engrossed in their worldly activities, even though I avoid participating. I think subliminally, I have been allowing myself to slip up more, even when I feel the discrenment not to. It feels like i avoid alot of things I used to do to feel Christ, and sometimes I question my faith & relationship with God, as I don't feel that i reflect the words I say about how He impacted my life. I want it to be real, not just something that helped me cope in a part of my life, I want to be steadfast in Him, not get affected when my past mistakes or self has been brought up; I want to know with Jesus. with all that said, this is probably the most intentional action I had about my faith in awhile.

I am trying to rekindle my faith and rebuild a relationship but it wasn’t until recently that I decided I needed to really commit to the path because I realized I was lukewarm out of fear of being vulnerable again.

    ❤️‍🔥This is a total word in season for a lot of us. I felt convicted about not getting out there in Christian community and what I watch (i.e. tv shows, movies, RUclips, etc.).
    Your videos have helped me in my walk with God. I got a one year Bible last year and no I haven’t read it in a year. But I am spending time with God daily. It was a process! It me took months to be consistent, focused, and quiet. After a year or so of spending time with Him daily, I can testify that it made a huge difference in my life. I will not let anything or anyone come between my time with Him. If I have to wake up earlier I will because there’s nothing like His presence. He is so good!
    If you’ve been struggling, I’ve been there! I think we all have. Just start one day and a time. No condemnation if you miss a day here or there. Just keep seeking Him and you will find Him. He promised it in His word. And what He says He does.

I also looked at different bibles, tried to understand the differences, so that I now own my own first woman study bible. I would say though that the interest and urge to find out more and me being fascinated by it started a few months ago until the thought became bigger and bigger in my head. I want to find the true love and relationship with god, although it has been hard vocalizing that with my surroundings.
