Hi, I'm fourteen, and I have been a Christian for quite awhile now. But lately God seems so distant. I read my Bible, try to pray, but always end up feeling more depressed and lonely than before.…Continue

Praying for your family. I understand rough patches. My life has been one big rough patch for a while now. My brother and his wife were murdered on March 1st by their 12 year old son. Their youngest two children were also injured in the attack. They survived and we have since adopted them. It has been a rough time but God is showing Himself strong in our weakness. That is what I pray for you that in your hardship you will see God's hand at work. Take care and God bless!

Thank you for your comment,it helped and gave me a little more peace...I'm sorry for your fear of your loved ones losing their lives..I can understand..I feel anyone that has lived with certain fears understands anyone having fears,no matter what those fears may be...I am really trying to get rid of my fears that I expressed,but with living with those and them coming true for the last 16 years,it's really hard and I feel that my boyfriend understands that because I've explained it to him,I just hope it doesn't annoy him

1 John 4:18 (ESV) There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
It's hard for me to understand the fear of a loved one cheating because it's never happened to me. However, I do understand fear. In the last few years I've had the misfortune of a number of "phone calls" giving me bad news of a loved ones death. I've come to fear that the next call will be another one. I sometimes fear when my wife or one of my children is away that they might not be coming back alive. I know this is not true but the fear remains the same. God's Word has been my comfort in fear. Truth overcomes fear. Love overcomes fear. Faith overcomes fear. It won't be easy to "not fear" your new love has never cheated on you but in your love for him you can overcome the fear. Your love for him needs to be unconditional as does his for you. You cannot build a strong relationship with doubt and mistrust. I would say you need to trust him completely. It's not a bad thing to have some safeguards in place in your relationship. Accountability is a good thing, but you do need to trust him or your relationship will not work. If he loves you he will understand the need for accountability and will not balk at them and he will be patient with you as the trust builds. I hope this helps. God bless!
