Know this about prayer, it is a three step process. God likes the number three.
1. We pray or ask God for help/something. In Jesus' name.
2. God prepares us to handle this so once we get it we will not fail with it. So God teaches us how to handle what we ask for. God is good, so he prepares us and then gives it. How great is that?
3. God gives us what we asked for.
Many ask and while #2 is happening they give up. So they do not get to #3.
So try praying again, now that you know how it works. And the more you ask for, the longer it usually takes to prepare you for it.
Only God can reveal the meaning of his word, the bible. So if we want to know the truth we must ask God to show us meanings and give us understanding or we just guess. Before we start reading the bible ask God for knowledge and understanding, then we can know and understand it as God gives it to us.
If I wanted to know something written is Martian, I would go to someone that speaks Martian and ask them what it means so that I may understand what it says. Or I could look at it, not understanding, then say it means this or that: not knowing Martian, I could try to make it mean whatever i wanted, though this would not be the right interpretation.
Many do this with the bible, it is God's word and only God can tell us the meaning of things and give us understanding too. Or we just guess or make something up. So go to God and ask him directly for the truth of his word. And God can do this through any bible, not just some but all.
hope this helps and take care.
Doing these things will blow the roof off of your situation, you will not longer be confined in it.
Pray, wait and receive the best from God. Pray, read and learn from God. Notice how everything starts with prayer and ends with God.
bless you.|||listen to 'Our God Reigns Here' by John Waller!!!

It is a common problem with christians who start to realize there is no help from that invisible friend!!
Christians are grossly over represented with depression and related psychological problems and lead the use of antidepressants, tranquilizers and sleeping pills by miles!!
Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.
They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!!
Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!!
Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.
Sadly Christians are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!!|||To give your question a fair answer, I'd have to know what led you to stop being a Christian, which is the state you seem to think you're in. I know some fears might be dancing around in your mind that it's impossible for you to go back, since Hebrews 6:4-7 speaks of the impossibility of bringing someone who has fallen away back to repentance. I doubt the passage applies in your case, because I doubt that your life as a Christian met the conditions listed in the first part of that passage. Besides, the passage doesn't say it's pointless to renew someone to repentance; it says it's impossible. It sounds to me like you want to go back. I'm sure there will be some repenting to do, though as a stranger I have no idea what of. If you do repent of whatever led you away, then it won't have been impossible to bring you to repentance. At least, that's the way I read that passage. Besides, a lot of people filling church pews have probably never actually repented the first time.|||Psalms 119
25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.
37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.
40 Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness
88 Revive me according to Your loving kindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.lamed
107 I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your loving kindness; O LORD, revive me according to Your justice.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD; Revive me according to Your judgments.
159 Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your loving kindness.|||watch vaggie tales|||pray to prozac|||jesus wil take you back any time you want, he is the GOD of second chances. just repent and start over.
