Question:
I have fallen so far from who I was in Christ... I have allowed myself to become so involved in everything else around me that I have forgotten the real reason why I even breathe. My heart feels empty and torn apart, and it hurts so much. My family and church family still see me the same way...because of the masks of deception that I have put on. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself anymore... The front that I have put up matches who I once was, but it's so fake now that I want to hide. Nothing I do seems to come from my heart anymore....
I just turned 18 and will be graduating in the next few weeks...and I am scared. I have so much work to do before then and I am completely stressed out just even thinking about it...
I would appreciate your prayers for me; that through Christ I find my way back to Him and who I once was in Him...
Answer:
I'll pray for you man.
Answer:
I was there. It's not an easy road to go, but God will bless you for it, and the enemy will lie to you about it. Sometimes, you can't go with what you feel, you just got to go with what you KNOW to be true. Always look to Him, cause He says, 'he who seeks will find Me.' I will pray for you. Lord bless you and be with you.

Answer:
Just prayed for you, Adam, that God would bring you not just to where you were, but deeper into Him and restore a stronger relationship with Him than ever before. It's certainly hard to see where we've backslidden and not give up, but the important thing is to press onward and stay focused on the goal: God. Hebrews 12 may be a good read on perseverance .
Your brother in Christ,
Paul
