  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello

My name is Michelle. I'm 13 years old. I'm a lost soul. I need help.

I've been doing drugs for the past year. I've lost God.

I want to change.

My parents... Well, they don't know what to do with me.

And my 9 year old brother is well adjusted and I want to be like him.

Can you believe that? I look up to my 9 year old younger brother.

I need someone to talk to. In private. I prefer to talk to a women.

Can anyone help me please?

Welcome Sweetheart,

It has been a long time since I was 13, but when you can message me, I'll be glad to listen to you. If I can advise you I will. I had a daughter who got into drugs at 13 and I can tell you what that is like from a Mother's point of view.

We also have this forum http://www.christianforums.com/f275/ Substance abuse. Here you may get help with the drug problem with others who are struggling. We also have a Christian advice forum. http://www.christianforums.com/f232/ Here you can get advice on all types of subjects that will be sound according to the Bible. Of course we have a Prayer Request forum here http://www.christianforums.com/f10/ Where any member may request prayer for any situation. Finally, for your age group we have a teens area http://www.christianforums.com/f1060/ For people your age to hang out and enjoy each others' company.

Hello!! :wave:

Welcome to Christian Forums! :hug: I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.

To access the women's forum you will have to request access.
There is a sticky thread in the How To Forum to request access:
If you have trouble accessing the Women's forum - post here.

You need 50 posts to be able to include links/images in your posts.

You need 100 posts to be able to participate in the chat box.


I would also recommend that you check out the Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. You can use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar or creating a Pet.

The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings.

Two forums to easily add posts in are Blessing Exchange and the Recreation Room.
In the Forum Number Games forum (under Rec Room) you can simply count.


If you have any forum related questions, just click here. If you still have questions, feel free to send me a private message and I'll do the best I can to help. :hug:

Hi Michelle:

I just signed on or signed up here tonight, and your post is the first one I'm replying to.

I just want to say I'll pray for you too. I'm a "dad" of kids who are now grown, I had some issues w/drugs when young, and my son is dealing w/major issues with them right now, as you are.

I will pray not only for help for you from God, but that you find the right woman to connect with here since you don't feel like your parents are helping in any way... That really concerns me, is there any other family member you trust you can reach out to?

The biggest thing for now I wanted to say, is it takes great COURAGE for you to post what you did! I"m sure God's proud of you for that, no matter what.

Don't give up, the fact you know it's wrong and hurting you, and acknowledging it, is the first step or big one, you'll make it! Without trying to scare you though, I will say you need to remember that not only is God and Christ very real, but so is the "enemy". He is here ruling the earth (temporarily!) and came to "kill and destroy".

When drugs are involved, you can rest assured you're being messed with or encouraged by the bad guys, so do whatever you have to do, to continue to seek help. Hopefully you're praying, if you're not, open your heart to HIM, and talk to him and ask him for divine help. God is stronger than all of this, and if he sees you seeking Him honestly, and sincerely asking for help, then if you repent and tell him you're sorry, but you need help- I have a feeling he'll help you very quickly!

God bless, and good luck!

Welcome to the forums :wave:

The fact that you want to change is the first step to true salvation. You just have to come to God and repent, and invite Jesus into your heart by giving your life to Him and striving to live for God. It seems like a lot of work but there is so much to be gained from being reborn in the King that you can't get from doing anything else.

GBU ^_^

Hello

My name is Michelle.

Hi Michelle. Nice to meet you, sister.

Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

I'm 13 years old. I'm a lost soul. I need help.

We all need His help in living that reconciled relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

It is a good thing He is our Good Shepherd.

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

I've been doing drugs for the past year. I've lost God.

He has not lost you. He is with you always.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth....20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

I want to change.

Trust Jesus Christ to do it.

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:...

My parents... Well, they don't know what to do with me.

They can pray with you.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

And my 9 year old brother is well adjusted and I want to be like him.

Can you believe that? I look up to my 9 year old younger brother.

You can even ask him to pray with you.

I need someone to talk to. In private. I prefer to talk to a women.

Can anyone help me please?

I can hope & pray that God will lead you to a good sister for you to talk to, but when you can't wait and need help right away, go to Jesus Christ at that throne of grace for that help you need since He is with you always.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hi Michelle:

Welcome to CF. First off, you have not lost God. When you first asked Jesus into your heart to be Lord of your life, your name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life - God does not erase our names when we fall. When you repent your sins are in the lake of forgetfullness and God sees them no more. Just throw the guilt down, God sees your sins no more once they have been repented.

Just put your hand in the hand of Jesus and let the Holy Spirit guide you and be the warrior for Jesus that will make Him proud. Help others that are having problems, but don't let the guilt of the past pull you down - it is gone. God is very proud of you and you will be a light in his army to pull others into the Kingdom.
