    We all disappoint God,every day, but all He wants is for us to try to be closer to him, in our actions, words, and spirit.You are so special to God! He is such a gracious God and wants what's best for you. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 " God doesn't want "perfect" people, He wants FAITHFUL people. His spirit can heal, give you direction and give you so much more. He ALWAYS love you, even when we (all) fail Him. But those things DO NOT effect your salvation (unless you stay there) The more you draw near to Him the more he draws near to you. (James 4:8) So prayers to Him are soooo important. Don't give up, He truly hears you. One way to really please God is through prayer. Proverbs 15:8. (But the prayer of the upright is His delight). He WILL talk to you, but sometime it takes time and maybe even quiet time just for Him. Sometimes I just sit and thank Him for everything He has blessed me with and am quiet and His spirit overcomes me.

    You have asked Lord Jesus into your heart? and you have confessed your sins? You belive he has died for you and risin from the dead and has saved you from all evil and tryed your best to walk in his ways? Becasue then you are saved, nothing will ever change that. So we mess up and parents get a little over the top sometimes, God is your only judge and he isnt gona leave you! He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.

    When you say you have tried hard to become saved, all you do is just ask and you are. You have to belive that things will change, cause it truly will. Keep praying, ask him to fill you with his spirit, and i will pray for you too. He is there with you now. try to make friends that love God too and plus God is there with you no matter what your lifes sittuation is. I'm sorry I wish i could be more help. Have faith! He loves you

    if you are unsaved, please ask God to reveal Himself to you. He can be known He is not unknowable like the Hindu says, He is not unreachable like the Muslim says, He is not a force (or non-existent) like the Buddhist says, You are not alone in this world like the atheist says; and, You certainly don't have to be unsure about His existence like the agnostic says.

    Come to Jesus Christ and you will never hunger, you will never thirst or wonder again about Who God is. One of my favorite passages of scripture is Matthew 11:28-30: 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'

    A man went to a preacher and asked him how he could find God. the preacher took him down to a creek and when they got there the preacher held the man under water until he began to kick and struggle to get back up. After what seemed an eternity, the man thrust upward and began gasping for air; the preacher told him, when he needed God as much as he needed the air he was just deprived of, then he would find him.

    Find a good church; dont look for one without hypocrites because thats the function of a church; like a hospital, its there to make the sick whole.

    ? have you ever accepted Jesus Christ into your life. And if you did, its time to communicate and began a relationship, just like we talk to our friends God wants to communicate with us. Read the bible, and go to a bible based church, Ask God to fill you with his spirit,it gives you power to walk upright.. Acts 1:8, we all fall short in one area or another, but God is so faithful, he will continually forgive, because he loves us unconditionally,,,Hope it helps
