I want to give my life to God?

Question

In the past month, i've begun to struggle with life. I'm a college student and I had paper anxiety, so i put off doing an important paper. The fact that I couldnt do the paper made me so depressed that I actually thougth about suicide. I wanted to do so well in college and I suppose I reasoned to myself that if i couldnt write papers, then I was going to flunk out.

Today was the day that I had to go talk to the teacher about the paper. I didnt want to be interrogated...felt awful, like i had wasted her time.

Basically I've just given up trying to get good grades in order to impress family members and now see it as an opportunity to show the gifts God has given me. I'm taking it one day at a time and I want to give my life to God. I wasnt the one who made me and I clearly cant do college on my own.

I still feel really sad. I shouldnt be sad though, I dont think God wants me to be sad. I want to enjoy the life he has given me in order to "pay him back" for creating me in the first place. I want to be a new person.

I dont want to be sad anymore though. Its not worth it. Though i do want to keep in mind that the things i do in life are for God...not for me anymore

What is my question? Perhaps I have none, i just wanted to see what others felt about this on Answers.

I dont want any non christians to answer this question. If you do, i'll just give you a bad mark.

Answer 3

Pray this prayer:

God, I am sorry for the bad things that I have done in my life. Please forgive me of my sin so that i can go to heaven to live with you. I believe that Jesus died for my on the cross and rose again 3 days later. Please come into my life and save me from h**l. Please change me so that I can live my life for you forever. In Jesus's name, I pray. Amen.

Now all you have to do is praise God, read the Bible, pray, and spread God's love and word to other people so that they can know the truth. good luck new Christian friend! :-) Please visit my site below for more information:

Answer 4

I'm not a Christian, but please hear me out. I was a Christian for 22 years.

If you want to give your life to God, whether or not I agree, it is your choice. Only you know what's right for you. People will try to convince you either way. In the end, it's up to you. Listen to your heart.

Answer 5

I have been through a similar experience to you and came to realise that without God, life is meaningless.  I gave my life to God and the more I learn about Him the more I love Him and the more I want to live for Him.  We have an awesome God and serving Him is actually liberating.  By serving Him we are free to become the person He created us to be.  Living your life to please others is just going to end in failure.  You can't please everyone all the time.  Living to please yourself will just end in emptiness.  But living to please God will result in living life to the fullest and entering His eternal glory.

It is so wonderful that you want to live for God.  Trust Him and He will make you path straight.  I will pray for you.

If you want to hear about what I went through and how God brought me through the darkest hour in my life, email me and I will tell you.  I don't really want to share it on this public forum.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7  

Answer 6

You are so wise to turn to God.  He says, come to me and I will show you great and mighty things that you know not.

God has such a good plan for your life.  First you have to realize that you have sinned in life, and be sorry for those sins.  You need to desire to turn from them and learn how to lead a Godly, righteous life.  This comes by repenting of your sin and accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.  Jesus went to the cross and died there, to pay for every sin you have ever committed, or will ever commit.

I'm sure on your campus there is a Christian organization.  Find young people that love Jesus, find a church that is alive in Christ and teaches the bible.  The bible is where you need to go to learn and live a life pleasing to God.

Please do not despair; you are turning in the only direction that has the answer; Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

It's one paper Sophia. Study a little harder or get a tutor. I believe God would want you to do all you can at everything you do.

If you are having trouble putting your mind around a subject pray about it, thank God for who you are and where He's put you because right now that class is where He put you.

Also no fast food. Garbage in, garbage out. Eat fresh food, no processed c**p.

Get 7-8 hours of sleep.

Exersise.

Your mind will be sharp.

Answer 8

well i think that you should pray to God and help you with this condition that you have so you wont have to flunk! i think that God would like you to have a good education but it does not mean to put God aside.Yes God did created you but he wants you to be happy in life and get to know him to be God fearing.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:16 SO WE HAVE STOPPED EVALUTING OTHERS BY WHAT THE WORLD THINKS ABOUT THEM. oNCE I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT OF CHRIST THAT WAY AS,THOUGH HE WERE MERLY A HUMAN BEING.HOW DIFFERENTLY. I THINK ABOUT HIM NOW! WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THOSE WHO BECOME CHRISTIANS BECOME NEW PERSON.THEY ARE NOT THE SAME ANYMORE FOR THE OLD IS GONE. A NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN! GOOD LUCK AND DONT WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE MIGHT SAY ABOUT YOU B/C REMEMBER THEY DONT HAVE THE KEY TO YOUR SALVATION.

Answer 9

Adam M. is right on the money on that one. Listen to him. Also, don't be afraid to pray about your paper as well. After you pray what Adam M. just said, pray another prayer after that, "Lord, I give my paper over to you. Please help me by taking this paper anxiety away so that I can get through it and get it done." Don't worry about pleasing your parents. It's not about them. It's about you. Do it for yourself.  God Bless You and I wish you all the best.

Answer 10

You should live your life for you only.

Not a fictional man that may or may not exist.

Answer 11

Study the book of Daniel chapter 1.  

Dan 1:16,17 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse [ vegan diet ].  As for these four children, God gave them KNOWLEDGE and SKILL in all LEARNING and WISDOM: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Dan 1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them TEN TIMES BETTER than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

Fasting before a test will help, likewise.

Answer 12

If God existed and was all-powerful as many religious nuts claim, he wouldn't need your help doing anything.

Answer 13

It sounds like you are really going through a trial. Why don't you click on the My Pastor button @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar because you can listen to today's radio show where Pastor Paul preached the first part of his message "A Word for those who've had enough" and it sounds like that's where you are at now.

You can also check out the Get Saved button if you've never given your life to Christ and on the Free Stuff page there are a lot of great FREE resources that you can check out including Free MP3's of some Christian music to lift your spirit.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Martin
