I am scared to go to Church

At an early age my parents always told us to go to church, when I moved out of my house at 18 things changed. It's not that I didn't believe in God I just stopped going to church when I entered University. When Sunday rolled around I made up some sort of excuse not to go, but now I have no excuse and I feel that I need to go. The only problem is for the last 2 years any time I ever prayed or thought of god something would go wrong in my personal life. Let me explain I have prayed about things and then they have gone completely the other way, I am just scared that if I pray today about something it all go wrong. I need some prayers answered or some sort of support about a personal issue but I am just to scared to pray about it or to go to church. Please someone help.

whoa whoa whoa....you think that christians arent sinners? we are all sinners!
if we were perfect, we would not need jesus. No one, not even chrisitians, deserve to go to heaven. We all go to hell by default, because we sin at least once in our lives. But god, coz he loves us, sent jesus to take out place. A popular way of describing it is this - say that you have commited a crime, you have been convicted guilty, but then, after the judge sentences you, someone walks in and says "i will take their punishment", and that person goes to jail for you. Jesus didn't just agonise on the cross, he went to hell, and he defeated the devil. If you believe in jesus, and accept his sacrafice, and embrace him, you are just as much of a christian as the pastor. No one is more loved than another in gods eyes.

You have had some awesome posts here.

As far as your horoscope, it is better to rely and trust God on your daily life. Not a horoscope.

Before in fun, used to read them but I just stay away from them now.

Good that church is well. Your not as scared. You believe in God, you believe in Jesus. Your a Christian, whether you go to church or not. Church is there to help you grow in your relationship with God and find fellowship with others.

Take care, and God bless.

Joe

There are christians of all denominations on here. If you ask a question on here you are anomynous... so why not ask for support on here? What is your problem? I am sure people will try to help.

As for going to church, either god is what the Christians say in which case he will accept you with open arms, or he is not, in which case there is not much point going to a christian church anyway.

Happy to read the out come davejag.. Because we christians are all targets for satan and his goal, we need to remember God's promises. The Truth and the Light has us protected. And prayer in Jesus Name will be answered in His glory. All power has been given to us over our enemy. Luke 10:19

Allow God to send His holy angels to watch over you as you put your life in His Will to be done.

Sweetheart,

Never be afraid to turn to God's loving arms. He will keep you safe and protect you. God indeed answers prayers, but what we think is what we want, or is good for us, may truly not be.

Trust in Him, that He loves you and will always do what is best for you. Even during moments of great despair, the situation may not change, but I promise you, He will lift you from the despair and help you deal with the situtation.

God never promised us an easy road, but He did promise to always be by our side, when that road gets rocky. As long as we always turn to His loving arms.

Thanks tawnykids

I am so sorry - I hope I did not give Davejag the imression that I thought she was afriad of God. I was just reminding her, of what she already knew and just trying to give her a little love and support.

The problem is that wont answer u because u left god for 2 years. he tells u to do things but u ignore them the only way god will listen to u again is if u prey for forgiveness. And really mean. And wen u asked 4 something remember to have patience bcuz sometimes u wont get this thing that u need for years. But god will give u anything that u need just have patience and prey for forgiveness and god shall forgive u.
