Praying for this girl, and also that if there is anything that you personally can do to help her, that God will show you the way. And that God will send to her someone who can make a difference in her life. And for her family, that they may be changed by God into the family that she needs.

It's also worth telling your letter-writer that repentance is everywhere mentioned as necessary for salvation. Repent - in other words, turn around and take a new direction. Good works alone will not save us, but a loving relationship with God invariably prompts true Christians to good works as...

I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. There is no-one who can take the place of a mother; no human who consistently loves you the way a mother does, and it is a tremendous blow at a time when things are tough for you anyway. May God comfort you with his presence and his peace...

Well said, Eugene. CE - whenever you are tempted to see God as an unforgiving tyrant, remember that Jesus is the perfect image of God. The personality that we read about in the Gospels - compassionate, caring and wise - that is the personality of our God. Learn more of Jesus, and you will know...

Please let us know how it goes, Angel. God knows all your needs before you ask him, so he has already taken are of you in this situation.

So sorry things didn't go as you hoped. It's tough, but as Air Dancer said, it looks like the Lord's plan is for you to stay where you are. Just be sure that God is with you, even as He was with Shadrech, Mishek and Abednigo in the fiery furnace, and he will bring you safe through it. Will the...

Your changed life in Christ is a gift to your Mom; pray that you will live each day in a way that will allow her to see Christ in you, and that she will come to him for her healing. When she's hard to love, ask God to fill you with his own love that He feels for her.

If there was a warrant, your probation officer would not be pressing for an early discharge.

Praying that God will bless you and make you aware of his great love for you, that is so much more powerful than any mental illness or thoughts induced by the Enemy. May he heal you, and make you able to grow more like him every day, and fill you with his love, wisdom, compassion and...

Don't waste your time worrying about what a bunch of sickos say. There are real people out there who you will be able to relate to; who can be inspired by your faith; who maybe need you as much as you need them. You need to go out and find them. I know you find church difficult (been in that...
