I've had a lot of crap in my life in the past year or so and I just need prayer for all of it. I'm still sort of struggling with knowing God and that I could continue to pass the Word of God onto others.

My life is so busy. I feel every second of my life is devoted to anything but Christ. I feel I lost the passion and the faith I had before. I don't have the strength to quit because if I do I feel I will be letting down someone. My fire for Christ has burned out, and it makes me feel the worst feeling. I don't know what to do. This is my second one.

I hate attention. I consider myself a very righteous and Godly person and I think that is part of my problem. I rarely say mean things to people and I try to stop my mean thoughts when they come up so whenever I'm in a spot of attention with crowds, I know that every single person is forming some kind of judgement and I can only imagine how mean they are especially if they don't know God. I start thinking of what they could be and I start believing them. I've never had one solid best friend so I usually bottle it all up and sometimes pour it into a diary, which I know neither helps. I sometimes want to believe that if I had a boyfriend it would maybe help, but deep deep down I know it wouldn't. I tell myself I'm fat and there's nothing bad with loosing weight but when I negatively talk to myself, I know there is something wrong. I don't consider myself shy, just terribly scared.

I am in constant competition with my ex-boyfriend. we are both very popular, and the "funny people" and we are always trying to be better than one another. I can't have fun always competing with someone and changing who I am so he will notice me. I don't know what to do. I deleted him on Facebook, which is a good step.

I'm moving away from everything I know. I've only told 1 person and I can't face telling my friends but it hurts too much to hear them talk about next year. I've cried every night since they told me a week ago and it kills me to keep having to have so much fun if I'm going to leave next summer. I'm afraid I won't make any friends as amazing as the ones I have, but I have to go because it's an amazing opportunity for my dad and i can't hold him back, I'd just feel worse. I don't want any of my friends to hate me if I say I'm moving. I don't want all of my friends to forget me. I've always imagined me graduating, prom dress shopping, and just doing everything with them and now I won't. I feel so lost.

My dad is a major alcoholic. It seems that every day he only comes home to drink and pass out drunk in order to fall asleep. My mom is only with him because of my brothers and I. She feels God has abandoned her and torments her with my dad's alcoholism.
I also masturbate almost daily and starting to no longer feel the guilt in it. I know it's wrong but I give in to all for the feeling of pressure.

I live a double life. I have a social life and a religious life. I’m two different people. It’s not like my social life is drugs and sex but it’s still bad compared to what it should be. I want to have one me and I want it to be a me that loves God and is open about it to everyone. I want to be the one that people go to when they have hurt in their life. I hope I can start a prayer group at my school to accomplish this. Prayers will help.

I don’t know why I crossed my name out but I did. I feel separated from God. But I don’t have a passion or desire to go back to Him. I want to but I don’t want to put in the effort. I don’t know what to do. I feel lost and alone and confused. I don’t know what I want, but I can’t let my parents down. I need to talk to someone but I’m not ready. I’m happy to be back at church it feels good but I feel like an outcast now, instead of apart of the group. Sick= wear, tired worn out

I’m struggling with drugs and alcohol, everywhere I turn its there, and for a while I thought it was okay. I could be a Christian and still drink and smoke, but ever since I’ve tried to go sober I feel like it calls my name even more. I feel like there’s no escape. Does sex really make your relationship stronger? I feel like I have it with my boyfriend ok after is the only time I see him truly happy and I want him to be happy even though I hate it?

My mom and I used to be close, but now we aren’t. We get into fights almost everyday. It’s about stupid stuff too. I really don’t know what happened. I just want a better relationship with her. What do I do? Also, my school has very different beliefs and their doctrine confuses me. I get so confused, and now I don’t know what or who to believe.
