Upon recently seeing my entire life destroyed in the form of a car crash that removed all materialistic sin in my life, I have been struggling to find work. Most every job that I want or need is not available, and a part of me feels like giving up. I go online and read the horror stories of those who have died and come back to report what they saw, and I am a firm believer that hell does in fact exist and I do not want to go there.

I've been a christian my whole life (sometimes not by choice), but I have been trying to let jesus into my heart and spoken with god alot over the past few days. I feel as though I am alone even though there is a family that supports me and friends willing to help me out.

I keep looking for people to blame when in reality I am simply a victim of my own greed and sin. I am trying to find ways of coping with all the sin I've built for myself so I can be strong enough to face the oncoming onslaught that is life in all of god's teachings.
 
Honestly, I see a lot of earning salvation here. This is not Christian. Jesus came to save you. He didn't come to how you how screwed up you are so that you can clean yourself up and get to heaven. You cannot be forced to be a Christian against your own will. You can be force to go to church, but that doesn't make you a Christian anymore than sleeping in a chicken coop makes you a chicken.
Keep talking to Gid and listen to what He says to you. If you feel your family doesn't ssupport you, know that God is always for you.
you are not a victim to your sin. You have authority in Christ to conquer sin, to stand up to te devil, and usurp any power you have allowed him in your life. Overcoming sin isn't done in your own strength. If it were so we would never find any amount of victory. Overcoming sin also doesn't make you a Christian. It doesn't guarantee you I to heaven. Talking to God, listening to Him, following Him, loving Him, praising Him, these and much more are the fruits of those who serve God.
 
I can feel you, trying to find who to blame and play the victim. God works in every way to bring good. I don't want to speculate, only trying to help you thinking positively; Maybe you didn't get all those jobs because those are not the jobs He wants you to be at; He has a better one in plate.

As for your sins, if you have repented, you will know that God's love is so great that nothing is too big for Him to forgive. As such, You are forgiven and your (so called great) sins have forgotten. Keep moving forward, clinging tough on Him, and don't look back anymore. When you are being reminded of your past sins and mistakes, fight it by telling yourself: "God has cleansed me from all those so I have no reason meddling in my past mud." Stop blaming and punishing yourself. God has forgotten what you've done in the past. Believe in Him; great things are yet to show up. God once needed to tear me (and my personal plan) apart so that His plan in my life can take place.

"...for I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future..." (Jer 29:11 NIV)

Will pray to God to give you strength, patience, and wisdom throughout the challenges you are facing right now. I hope you feel better and ready to give a better fight. Blessings to you.

Dear Ranma . I don't why but I keep hearing a song in my spirit , I keeps saying , ' You didn't know , but all the time I've held you , in the palm of my hand ' . I have never heard this song before but God keeps speaking in to my spirit . Jesus said , ' Of those that you have given me , I have lost none ' . You are a child of the Living God and He who was mighty enough to author your salvation , is more than able to keep you , even in the darkest of times . God loves you with a love that knows No bounds , and has no conditions . Your times are in the quiet places , where the presence of God searches your heart . You have a Bible at the edge of your bed that holds more power then all of hells forces combined . Gods Word is a mighty weapon in the hands of those who will Believe what it says , and apply it to there lives. Hell is for those who reject God , but supernatural , overcoming power and eternal Salvation , is for the children of God . You are saved , blood bought , born again , and everything that Heaven has at it's disposal is Yours . Protection , Salvation , Annointing , Prosperity , Success , and Eternal Life through Christ Jesus . It all belongs to you . And you are Not of those that shrink back . Father in the name of Jesus , reveal Your Grace Lord God . Father open the curtain and allow your child to see , that Greater are You that is in us , than he that is in the world . In Jesus Name we pray , Amen.
