Thanks everyone for your words :) Everywhere i read, they said you had say a Sinners Prayer and thats how you get saved but i like what you two read since its hits closer to home. I'll amit there are times in the day when i feel close to GOD and times when i feel far away but God and Jesus is always on my mind, whether its me arguing with myself on doubts or those evil little voices that comes and try to pull you away,correcting myself on something i did or done, or just meditation on them

Melissa-- the things you are currently dealing with are things we have dealt with/are dealing with! I hope that encourages you! Cling to Jesus alone and seek Him. It is very good that you are hungering for God's word.
Thats one of the best things i've heard all day :D Its nice to know that i'm not alone in dealing with the issues i'm dealing with :D Thank you for writing that. :D
Yep, "fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" You are absolutely right.
Every Christian struggles with doubt, pride, stubborness, and feeling far away from God. It's part of the wrestling we need to do in order to willingly give up the parts of ourselves that God can use for His purposes.
I have no doubt that Jesus is in your heart and remember it is a journey, a race, and as long as we keep pushing toward the prize that God has set before us, then we can't be taken off the road to heaven. Even Jesus had to bring up the possiblity that the cup of crucifixtion would pass from him, because he has been tested and subjected to every temptation we have been tempted with. That's what makes Him such a wonderful Savior. He knows what we struggle with and He shows us the way to overcome our doubts and imperfections.
Even after being a Christian for 15 years, I still have times where I feel God is so very far away, but it is really me who has moved.
