thanks guys, i realized i may have yall worried about me....i am ok, but now i just feel like a complete and utter failure

Well it is much easier to pray for a specific problem. If you trust people enough to pray for you, trust them enough to tell the problem they are praying for. What is the really big "screw up" you did, and why do you feel like a complete and utter failure? Maybe someone can come up with some good advice for you to go along with the prayer!

i feel like a screw up because people at my church look up to me because i am the only one saved in my family and i go to church every sunday and they all think i am so faithful and great but it isn't right and i have let them down and they shouldn't look up to me anymore.

 

[Gerry]

In what way have you let them down?

 

[Godsgurl4ever2006]

by screwing up, so many times in the past and this recent one yesterday, they no longer need to look up to me they should look up to someone else

I agree with you up to a point. For one they need not "look up" to you because in so doing they put unwarranted pressure on you to "perform" in some way that will meet yours and/or their standards. Also when they are "looking up" to you, they have taken their eyes off Jesus and He should me not only their's but your focus s well. We as Christians should keep our eyes firmly on Jesus at all times and strive to please Him and Him only.

So don't wory about other people and your mistakes. Take your mistakes to the Cross and leave them there. Jesus loves you and will know your heart and will forgive and strengthen you. Remember Jesus is the one we seek to please First.

ok, thanks gerry you have help a bunch

 

[Mr.Cheese]

We should all look up to Jesus. But often the bible talks about being a light shining in the darkness and being an example to other people. This means you, your imperfect self, should strive to do that. If people look up to you, that means that God is using you to inspire people. Don't get upset because you can't be perfect. Just give thanks that He has chosen to work through you as you are. He knows you aren't perfect and still desires to work in your life. That's pretty cool.

 

[Gerry]

Yeah, that is pretty cool Stinky! Sometimes people even look up to me, but I know that when they do, it is not me at all they are seeing. It is the Jesus in me, because aside from Jesus, I am less than nothing. But the Jesus IN me is worthy of all Honor and Respect.
