The world consists of different parallel lines. It our choice if we would intersect our line with others. But sometimes, God does it for us. So I have been forcing myself into solitude. When I'm at school, I write more than socialize with my peers. It may seem cliched but nobody gets me. Nobody gets my mind vomit where I write what I think. The only one I could really talk to is God. I've hurt Him badly though. Even if He was there to always listen to my rants about life. Even if He was there to help me when I needed help the most. I've hurt Him by sinning and breaking my promises with Him and other people. I'm in this phase when lust becomes my greatest enemy. I need somebody's help. Somebody that would actually talk back because that would be a relief for me now. I have so many unanswered questions for God. Help.

Hi there :)
We all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). As humans, we are prone to sinning. Everyone does! Yes, God hates sin. But God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to the world so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life (John 3:16). I love this verse:

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.

When we confess our sins to God, He forgives us. He wipes our slate clean, and the Bible even says that once He's forgiven us He's even forgotten our sin. How amazing! He loves us SO much and only wants the best for us.

You mentioned that you may have hurt other people in the process. Although it's difficult, something that's really helped me has been to confess to the person as well. God promises to give us strength when we need it.. He is our perfect strength in our weaknesses. He will be able to help you to apologise and confess to those people you may have hurt.

Lust is a hard thing to deal with, as it can (and is) very often confused with love. Again, God can strengthen you and help you. "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Galatians 5:16. I encourage you to try to read your Bible and pray everyday, even when it's hard to. The enemy knows your weak points and will easily try to bring you down and feel discouraged. Remember that the Word of God is more powerful than your feelings. Satan will try to make you feel like you're not forgiven or that God doesn't love you, but God's Word never changes (and in the Word it says He LOVES you). Feelings change all the time.

Run to Jesus. His arms are open wide, and He never, ever leaves you. He's waiting.
