I joined this site a while ago...but never really visited it much. As of november, I'm going to visit the site as often as possible. So here goes my story lol.

I'm 16 and I've been trying to live a life dedicated to Jesus Christ. I know he died on the cross for our sins and that we should all listen to his commandments. I've always believed in God...but when i was 14 I was showed a lot and i knew i needed to stop living such a sinful life...and the girlfriend i had at the time just wouldn't listen to me as much as i would talk to her about God. She hated the topic...and she was a troubled child...and I always prayed for her to change. I ended up dating this girl for a total of 20 months...

I knew God didn't want me with this girl, So I left her after i found out she slept with another man..

So i stayed single for about 5 months...and met this other girl.

And again..i tried talking to this girl about God...she listened to me...but she didn't seem to think it was that important. She was a big flirt..and it was obvious God didn't want me with this girl either.

The world is full of ignorance, hate, and lust. I know I make SO MANY mistakes...but I always get back up and beg God for forgiveness...I sin all the time and I wish I could really change my ways more than they've changed already...I'll always be praying though..

And does God even want me with a girl? I honestly don't know. I just wish I could meet a girl that believed in Jesus...a girl that I could truly relate to....a girl that will make me change and be a faithful boyfriend...

Maybe one day I'll find her...but God works in mysterious ways...so I probably won't know when I meet her that shes the one.

If anyone is out there...please pray for me to get my life on track. I know i shouldn't be chasing girls...I try not to...but I'm the type of person that needs someone there. And i'm tired of having someone that I can't pray with or talk to God about with.

Also..if any girls from Massachusetts are reading this...maybe we can be friends and see what happens.. my AIM is Zackn87.

Thank you so much for listening to me people...I feel stupid posting this...but I just have no faith in myself right now...I broke up with ANOTHER girl that i was dating yesterday because she liked some demonic stuff...and her head seemed kinda cloudy...and idk if God wanted me to stay with her so I could guide her...but maybe he didn't want me with her? idk...

Pray for me people...I'll pray for you....God bless you all...and Jesus loves you :)

Hi Zach,
I'm new to this website, and I was browsing around when I found your post. Had to give ya my oppinion. You remind me so much of my big brother. : ) Here's a couple things for ya to think about. You said: "I knew God didn't want me with this girl, So I left her after i found out she slept with another man.." If you knew that our Father in Heaven didn't want you to date this girl, why the heck did you wait until she broke your heart before ending the relationship? When God says "No" and you keep doing it, your going to get a major booboo.: ) That's a clue that you're probably not looking for God's Will in every part of your life, you're just crying "Why Me" after you suffer the consequences of not listening to the Father. You said: "And does God even want me with a girl? I honestly don't know. I just wish I could meet a girl that believed in Jesus...a girl that I could truly relate to....a girl that will make me change and be a faithful boyfriend..." No young woman can make you be a faithful boyfriend. That has to come from within yourself. Do you want to be faithful? Good. Then do it. The Lord wants us to set the standards for the world around us. Zach, strive to live by a higher standard. Also: "Maybe one day I'll find her...but God works in mysterious ways...so I probably won't know when I meet her that shes the one." Pray that when your Father in Heaven knows it's the perfect time that He will reveil her too you.: ) The Lord knows you have weaknesses, and that you need His help. Just ask Him. It may take a while, but that just means He's working on something extra special for you, and ya have to wait for it to mature. : ) You wrote: "If anyone is out there...please pray for me to get my life on track. I know i shouldn't be chasing girls...I try not to...but I'm the type of person that needs someone there. And i'm tired of having someone that I can't pray with or talk to God about with." I will pray for you everyday, from now on. That's a promis before God.: ) As for chasing girls, and needing someone there, I can understand. Could I tell ya what helps me?: ) I found that once I completely gave up seeking a guy to "help me" I found a network of other people that were more than willing to help me. The trick was taking the "Only Love Can Help Me Now" mindset I'd had and flushing it, and getting the "Only A Relationship With Jesus Will Help Me" mindset. Us girls are human. We can't save you, at least not in the truests sense. We can help, and love, and support, but we can't give you the fulfilment that a relationship with Jesus can give you. Try finding other things to do with your time. One thing that really has helped me is volunteering. Giving back going somethings you love is wonderfully distracting! Do you have any hobbies, or things that you really love doing? Look around you, not at the girls ; ), but at your other options for fulfilment. Don't ask "Who can help me?" Ask "Who do I know needs my help?" And I don't mean girls. ; ) You said: "...I broke up with ANOTHER girl that i was dating yesterday because she liked some demonic stuff...and her head seemed kinda cloudy...and idk if God wanted me to stay with her so I could guide her...but maybe he didn't want me with her? idk..." Zach, where are you meeting all these girls?! Demonic stuff...Don't want anything to do with God...etc. Have you gone in to these relationships knowing that these girls were like this?! If so, you're a glutton for punishment. You don't know if God wants you to be with Girls like that?! Cummon. Use your head. Demonic stuff? Um...that would be a "No." Don't park your brains at the door when you go into a relationship! A bit of advice that's helping me is, don't get into romantic relationships with people because you think you can guide/save them. If you're stumbling yourself, that's like the blind leading the blind! You'll both most likely get hurt in the end. Also you wrote: " ...I feel stupid posting this...but I just have no faith in myself right now..." You are not stupid. I'm willing to make a sizable bet on that.: ) But you're lost. And the best time to run to Jesus and put every shred of faith you have left in Him is when you no longer have faith in anything else, including you. Zach, I know you are probably trying hard to get things "right." You know what? Try harder. And harder. You can never try too hard to seek the Father. I will pray for you. God has given you everything you need. You have to do you part now. "Also..if any girls from Massachusetts are reading this...maybe we can be friends and see what happens.. my AIM is Zackn87." Sheesh!! Let your sheets cool down before ya go looking for more heartbreak and trouble! No wonder you don't think you'll see "the One" that God has made just for you when She comes along. You'll be so busy seeking love in all the wrong places that you wont notice her!
So, that's my two-bits. Well, maybe it's a little more than two-bits. But I had to get it out of my system. I'm not trying to sound harsh, and I'm not judging you. My heart goes out to you as a fellow teen who's struggling just like I am. I just know what you're going through, and I hope you find what you're looking for. : ) God Bless You.
Cheers,
Rachel, 17-
