How can I rebuild my relationship with god?

Well since I was little I always had the passion for God. I mean I loved him with my whole Heart., But now I am so distant from him. I want that burning desire that I once had. I have back slide for so long. I mean it's so bad that I feel uncomfortable...

even going to church. For one I feel like people would judge me, and another is because I just think that I might get stuck down. How can I rebuild a relationship with God, and not lose me friends. I mean some of my friends don't even believe in God. And I didn't either at one point. But I know that when it is my time to leave this cruel world. I want to leave this world knowing that everything is going to be okay. I mean I am not saying that I don't believe in God. But I just don't understand some of the things. Just if you could help me. I appreciate it. I kind of feel embrassed but I need help on this and how to still keep my friends. Thanx.

I had a problem with this as well.
If the people at the church you go to just judge you then maybe you should try going to another church.
And if the people you call "friends" don't except your different beliefs in God then maybe you should rethink those "friendships"
Your relationship with God is most important above all the others.
If you ahve got him then everything else will fall into place!

Ryansucks is exactly right. People at church and/or your friends shouldn't judge you. Where would you go if you died right this minute?? Accept Christ and God into your life and talk to Him. You will see how He will work in your life and how much joy you will obtain from a strong relationship with the Lord. I'm here if you ever want to talk..

re except him into your life, and allow him to show you the way, it is fine to not go to church..
pray daily for god to hepl you be more like christ
If you need me= Fun mail me

what can you do ? prayer is the key to everything that how you can get closed to God .. let God guide you in all your affairs and plant the seeds that while grow into a beautiful garden.. prosperous and joyful I will pray for you.. Blessed be

Jessica17, Like all relationships, especially the one with Christ, it takes effort on your end. For a while, I too, struggled with the exact same dilema you're facing. I was told to ask myself a question," If God feels so distant, who moved?" Pretty basic and yet very profound because we all, at some point, turn away from Christ and the narrow path of righteousness to do our own will. This only lends itself to heart ache after heart ache. The downward spiral effect only stops when you and I acknowledge that our relationship with our heavenly Father is the single most important thing in life. Afterward, repent, or turn away from those things which lured you away in the first place. Sometimes it means changing jobs, location, friendships. God will bring people into your life that will aid you in your faith walk and will build strong Christ centered relationships. Take heart Jessica17. I tell you from personal experience that losing one's friends because of what you believe is really not that big a deal although it may seem like it at the time.
God is the restoration professional when it comes to relationships. Read the account of the prodigal son in your bible. Time after time in the Old Testament God's own chosen people, the Israelites, rebelled against God and yet He allowed them to have a restored personal relationship with Him when they: Repented of their sin, acknowledged Him for who He is and what He has done. Hope this helps...

There is nothing wrong with asking and everything right with your questions! You are being lovingly drawn by Him. You might be asking if you can "keep" your friends and still pursue God. the sad truth is that some of your friends might find your new "interest" boring or strange or annoying. Some might be intrigued by it. The main thing is that you remain true to what is really happening to you. When I was 17, I was very curious about God but lived with a guy and partied a lot. They were totally turned off, and I ended up moving out. My life is a million times better now although I didn't think it would be when I left my boyfriend back then. Put your trust in God , He won't let you down. Read the bookk of Mark. I will pray for you!

I JUST FELT I SHOULLD TELL YOU GOD IS NEXT TO YOU AND HE IS TELLING YOU THAT HE LIVES YOU...EVERY TIME YOU BREATH IN-GOD IS IN FRONT OF YOU BLOWING THE AIR IN

What makes you feel uncomfortable is your lack of faith and sometimes lack of faith comes from the wrong things we do. Whenever we sin we tend to break our relationship with God as we do that more often we find ourselves no longer beleiving what we used to believe. Whats important is that you make the sacrifices you used to make in order for you to feel the way you did. Go is merciful but sometimes we arent merciful with ourselves and tha often breaks our relationship with God. God has not left you but your own convictions have made you leave God. I assure you that deep within yourself you know what you must do. Start today and have patience. Love will guide you through. Pray and worship, be of help to others and express to others how God hade helped you in the past and how much you want to build a relationship with God. I pray that you will find your way back unto the right path. Be strong above all and be humble. Being a christian isnt easy, its for the strong and as you believe it will be unto you.

God loves you so much and it makes Him SO happy that you want to have a closer relationship with Him! I suggest going to a few different Bible-believing Churches and see how people react: if they're friendly and accepting, pray and ask God to show you if that's where you belong. You can usually sense if it's a good Church! If people don't pay any attention or are unfriendly, don't waste your time. There are some Churches that claim to love God but are hipocritical. The three BEST things I've found through personal experience to get closer to God are to spend time worshipping God (find a Christian band you can get into, also Hillsong is great!) praying (just talk to Him, about anything! He loves to hear from you!!) and pray. Prayer is SO powerful, and praying in tongues is also very powerful.
Also, remember that the Enemy hates the fact that you're turning back to Christ, and he'll try to discourage you. Don't give up! God is always there to catch you when you fall.
If it's ok with you, I'd love to pray for you?
