Hello, my name is Manuella and I would like to ask for a prayer for myself and my family. I grew up being a Christian, but I only truly met Jesus last year. Lately, I have felt distant from God because I have been feeling very bad mentally and emotionally to the point where I am extremely confused. At the beginning of this year, I made a mistake because I ended up falling in love with a boy, and even though I asked God to give me signs if he wasn't the right one, I ignored the signs and kind of started idolizing him until I found out he was just playing with my emotions.

I confess that I am going through a very difficult time with my family. My parents never (or don't show) knew Jesus, and they are also going through a difficult time, making it hard to maintain a good mood. I feel like a terrible sister because when I take care of my sister, I keep getting irritated by silly things that shouldn't cause any irritation.

I need help, and even though I pray, I don't feel Jesus. I know my faith is not based on what I feel, but at first, I was burning for Christ. I don't know if it faded over time because I got distracted, but I want to return to Him.

Before knowing Jesus, I used to swear a lot and make bad and mean jokes. Currently, I feel uncomfortable in environments with these actions. Sometimes, when I get stressed, I swear, and right after, I regret it a lot, just as much as I am bothered by the gossip, lies, and judgment I sometimes make about others.

Unfortunately, I don't have a church or a group of Christian friends, and I feel very bad about it, but I don't know how to socialize, and my parents don't really like going to church.

I don't know what to do anymore. I want to give my best to God. Before, I knew how to open up to Him very well, but now I have many difficulties. I don't know what to do anymore.

If you want to give me advice too, I accept it!

Hi, we are all sinners and fall short in living for God. His love and compassion will always be there for us. Just open your heart to him and you will blessed and forgiven. Sometimes he puts things in our path to help us grow closer to him. Our struggles will bring us to reach out to him. I pray that you find comfort in your life and feel the love of God in your heart. Bless you for your openness about having emotional stress over your feelings about serving the lord. ❤️🙏

HII God bless your heart for being so open and honest about the struggles that your going through, I’ve been in similar situations and know that no temptation is too hard to overcome, God will always show us a way out and that is a promise( 1 Corinthians 10:13) Remember you can trust God because he’s a faithful Father to us , we can fail him and stray away but he’s always there because it’s his nature and he can’t change who he is to us. And I want to encourage you that sometimes God puts us through situations where we have to learn to depend on him when we have no one around us and we learn to rely on him because he’s truly all we need so find your fulfillment of Joy in him because at the end of the day he is our main source of everything I’ve learned to not idolize a relationship and trust that Gods love is more important than human love because it doesn’t compare.Keep praying and Reading his word your gonna need both it’s a double sided coin🤍🤍
