Why do people not seem to understand me?

Try reading 1Peter 3:8-22; 4:1-19. These words might clarify something for you. If you could find a Bible believing church near where you live, go there and see what they have to offer. The Lord does not leave his children as orphans. He is always near. He may lead you to someone or a group of people who could be an encourager to you and build you up. Take heart. May the Spirit of the Lord lead you and guide you. God bless.

Pray as much as you like, some one up there will answer. When you get as old as me and you almost give up,you think slowly with the positive attitude and presto a pray comes true, I am not a decent christian but I have the odd moment with him and occasionally he answers,except when I pray some one will buy a copy of Shroud Over Paradise. He is one person who cannot be in too many places at once.

In my own experience friends and family have seen a difference in me in the way I act and talk. And they are the ones that ask me, "what happened and you've changed"? then I get the chance to talk to them about Jesus and what He's done in my life. I just share verses if any of them come to me or my real personal testimony. So wait until they ask you.

You just do your best to follow His footsteps. Read Gods Word daily which gives life to our spirit. Praise Him. Gather together w/ other brothers & sisters in the Lord...Whatever you do in Word or deed do it for His Glory.

The Lord bless you & keep you. :)

Even though your born again friends don't seem to understand. Go with them to a worship service. Talk with their Pastor about your feelings for the Lord. He/she will help you.

decency and acceptance are rare traits for most to possess, but if you truly desire to be in the grace of God, then that's all that matters. Don't worry about other people, if they accept, understand, and trust you, that's great, if they don't, their opinions don't matter too much do they?

i think it's called bucket crab syndrome (or something like that) because you can leave a bucket of crabs and none will be able to get out of the bucket, this is because when one rises higher than the rest all the other crabs pull him down. like with you, you are trying to serve God and be good, but when others see you doing well they will try to bring you down because they don't want you to be better than them. what you need to do is be very humble and try to help them

Because you are a sheep without freedom and free will. You think being a normal human with weaknesses and imperfections is some kind of 'sin'. You surrendered your dignity and common sense.

You are a slave and people tend to not listen to them. Enjoy your life; you chose it.

Three o'clock.

Sweetie, if you are expecting God to take the reins of your life, you are in for a major disappointment.

"You are a slave and people tend to not listen to them."

I WOULD!!

The people didn't understand Christ either.You should pray to understand people not be understood.

I agree, thrusting solves everything.
