It's time to change my life, please pray.

So I got arrested by the FBI a few weeks ago, and I've been in jail. Everything should work out fine for me -- not so great for my good friend, who needs prayer more than I, though.

To make a long story short, my life had been getting worse and worse, then when it seems like I am starting to make some progress and changing my life back around, I catch a couple of cases. The charges weren't really my fault. I had left that stupid stuff behind (or at least mostly), but I guess they wanted me, and I more than deserved it from the past year. My friend took up for me, but I guess they want me bad, so I'll just see what comes about from this. I'm pretty sure it will end good for me (I can tell from the frustration on the agents faces when my bond was lowered and I was able to get out of jail), but probably not so good for my friend. I don't want to go into detail, because its pretty pathetic (and to avoid saying something that will come back to haunt me), but just pray please. I'm pretty sure I needed this, and it'll work out for the better in the end.

Hey!

Ya know, with God's help and strength you can overcome anything. He can change anybody. He loves you so much, and when you have to suffer he feels your pain and is right there beside you. He will never leave you or forsake you. When we try to change ( and I now this from personal experience) we will have a lot of temptations, in our own strength these temptations may seem too powerful to overcome, but with God on your side you can have the strength to overcome it. Stay strong. Keep praying. God can and will turn your life around, if you want him to. He will use you to glorify him, beyond anything you can ever imagine. God Bless!

I agree completely with unknown~+~... God loves you more than you'll ever know. And if you just pray and ask Jesus into your heart and then keep praying things will get better. And keep folowing Jesus and not what other people tell you that you're suposed to do.. God had a plan for you when he created you and so stick to the plan he has for you.

Here's a verse that I liked so much and remembered...

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don't get sidetracked.
~Proverbs 4:25-27

Hope things get better and I'll be praying.

Well said my friend what a wonderful ver from the bible ....

Just Pray to the lord

"Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men;
protect me from men of violence,
who devise evil plans in their hearts
and stir up war every day.
They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's;
the poison of vipers is on their lips.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from men of violence
who plan to trip my feet.
Proud men have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path.
O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God."
Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy.
O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer,
who shields my head in the day of battle-
do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD;
do not let their plans succeed,
or they will become proud.

Psalms 140:1-8

Cheers

I think there is some confusion. I am a Christian. Just a sinner, as well.

Hey!
I can guarantee that every single Christian has things that we all need to work on and over come. We are all human, and have a sinful nature. We are all sinners. But with God's help we can over come our areas of temptation or weekness! I'm still praying for ya! Keep strong! God Bless!
