I need prayer in my life, boy howdy do I. I can't say I am 100% saved. I have never been baptized. I would like to find good Christian friends here , who I can rely on and keep me in check. I need a job bad. I was laid off from my last job in July, which was a good thing, because I could come home and take care of my parents, whose health was steadily declining at the time. But now, father has had a surgery and his health is improving greatly. My mom is diabetic , with only 30% vision, has a pacemaker, and has already had 2 toes cut off. The old job had me traveling all over the US. but I think I need one closer to home so I can keep an eye on my parents. Also , I am a single father. if I get a job around here, I will get to see my son more often and hopefully get it to where he can come live with me period. My ex does not provide the best living experience for him. I am sorry if this is asking too much. I know I need to live right and I know I need God in my life. that is why I am here. Thank you for listening.

There is no partially saved. You are or you aren't. Kind of like Yoda said... 'do or do not. there is no try'. hahaha
And baptism doesn't have any effect on your salvation. it is merely a public confession of your faith and a symbolism of your being reborn. It's a good thing, but not a priority.
Cool name by the way, Mindrush.

The best way to live, is to try to be like Christ... But it is not a sure fire way to living happy in this world... For if you live like Christ you will be persecuted...

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick, and a broken spirit dryth the bones. Many are able to say the same thing you just said, troubles, between a hard place, and a rock, the valley, where Jesus is with us, he said he will never leave us. God is able, when abraham took Issac to Mt. Moriah, Issac said Father where is the offereing, Abraham said, "God will provide", these words stuck into Issac's heart, when people used to go to him for answers, he would always say, "God will provide", I read this in an Israel paper, that was archived in the Museum from those days. We want instant now's. This burden is too great for you, and almost like your losing your family, and your faith. The Lord would want you to rest in him, from the distress, give it all to him, and say, "thou he slay me yet will I trust him." The Lords hands are greater to carry this burden.,cast your cares upon the Lord, for he will sustain you, Jesus sends his word to your heart, hope in the Lord, and be of good courage, God will strenghten you. I bless you in the name of the LOrd. amen

Hi Brian, you sound overwhelmed, and with good reason. Start simple, do you believe in God? Pray, He is listening, and waiting to hear you. He has a plan for you. It would help you to talk with a pastor, help you with wisdom and direction as to where to start. You will find great support here, but it sounds like you need a Christian mentor that you can talk with in person. God's blessings on you.
