Wow, this is long.. sorry! strawberrysc April 23 2004, 19:01:36 UTC

Yes, I believe in God, I'm not really scared not too, but to me, He's the only thing that makes sense. Through my life, some personal family problems have happened, and if I didn't think that it was all for a reason, if I didn't think that in the end everything would be okay- I would go insane. There has to be something to strive for, to live for. For me, that's God. I've seen him work in my life and others and it's just amazing. I do believe, but I have a major problem having an actual "relationship" with God. You know? It's like, I just get SO caught up in school and friends and what's going on in the world, and I end up getting so stressed out. If I could only find a way to focus on Him more often, and give my stress to Him, I would be a lot better off! I think everyone struggles to have a personal relationship with God, and everyone gets sidetracked. But every time you get sidetracked, I just try to remember that He will bring me back to him, and for whatever reason I did get "side-tracked", I will have learned something from that ( ... )

That's great. I wish that I could just hold-heartedly put my fears and my knowing that I do need something to strive for, and use it towards me finding God. The weird thing is that I don't know if I've even found him yet. And for me, the scary thing is, that I'm not sure 1) that I'll ever find Him or 2) that He's not there for me to find. For me I think that God is supposed to be a more or less security blanket. And I haven't had mine in a very long time.

I believe in God, not because I am afraid not to, but because He has made me believe. JEHOVAH-SHALOM is my God- the Lord our peace- I have faith in God because I have witnessed His love and felt His strength.
But I also fear Him, for He is both the God of love and wrath, filled with compassion and avengance.

that sounds like something a televangelist would say.

I believe in God because there is no way that i would make it each day with out him. I sometiems blame almost all the bad stuff in my life on him but its not him that causes its me but i know that he is always there when i come back. He never changes, he always loves, and its something about going out in the world knowin that he is with, has my back and always has something wise for me. I'm not scared to to believe in him because he tells me that if i am ashamed of him on earth then he will be ashamed of me in heaven. I dont feel scared because i know he lives in my heart and he's always there. Its crazy but it brings me comfort know that i really have nothing to be afraid of. I love God and he loves me more than i can imagine.

Well, that's a complicated question.

However, I must answer with a yes/no. Yes, I believe in something. No, I don't subscribe to all the tenets of Christianity..if that was the God you meant. I'm a bit scared not to follow the Christian church, but I know that if I do, it's not genuinely what I believe.

That's all I have for the moment. I need to clean now.
