I used to hang out with a group of people at our church, but they seem to have lost their passion for God, it's like they only come to church to talk to each other, I had to move away from where they sit because I couldn't hear our youth pastor speaking, and since we don't sit together, we've grown apart. It's like I'm speaking another language when I talk about God around them, all they want to do or talk about is worldly things, not always bad things (but lots of times they are perverted), just normal everyday things. Either they're going lukewarm, or I've moved in deeper with God. I just hope and pray that they'll find out what they're missing, and I hope you are too.

Working for God, through our Lord.
Hi,
Are they all around your age range? If so I know its hard when you hear them, and its gd you have the courage to move so you can here your pastor. Whats probably happening is you are growing faster towards God and thats great. So keep it up!!! The others obviously still have a belief in God or they wouldn't go, but in the teens wordly things start to enter there heads, particularly without being sexist boys. It is a stage there going through, but it might be a good idea to quitely tell your pastor what you hear, then both you and your pastor can pray for them in your own time, plus the pastor can take a more insight into how there behaving. You keep walking strong though and just keep praying for them.

Heavenly Father I lift the friends of AtomicSky up to you in prayer. In the Holy name of Jesus I pray and ask, rekindle the fire of thy love in their hearts and renew in them a deep and abiding passion and love for you O Lord. Surround them with a hedge of protection let not the arrows of the evil one near, guide them unto the path of rightousness, teach your children the knowledge of your will and the wisdom to fufill. I give praise and thanks Father God for the Grace and abundance of blessings you have bestowed upon our sister AtomicSky, for opening her heart to your word... for the love she has shown by reaching out to you Father for the salvation of her friends. Amen
God Bless precious child of God!!!

Dear Lord...i pray that you would touch the hearts of these friends. Open their eyes to your truth Lord. As she is striving to be more like you...give her the strength & courage not to let her friends hold her back. Help her to be an example unto them. Give them a hunger to have a personal relationship with You Lord in the same way that you have given this young lady a hunger for a closer relationship with You Lord. Continue to move in her life, and give her peace in knowing that You are the best friend she could ever have or need. We thank You Lord. In Jesus Name...Amen.

May our gracious Lord bless you as you minister to your friends, giving you the words to say to nurture God's love in them. May He give you wisdom and strength in your interactions with them.
canticum graduum levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium meum
auxilium meum a Domino factore caeli et terrae
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. From whence cometh my help?
My help cometh from the LORD which made heaven and earth.

'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one'
Amen

It's hard to stay true to your faith when others faulter. I congratulate you for being strong. I'll pray for you and for your friends to find their way back to God. Maybe they just got lost for a moment. It reminds me of the 1 of 99. God will find those who are lost.
Keep fightin the good fight.
