life
im at a confusing time in my life being 23 and single. i rejected Jesus so many times and just keep messing up from drugs to alcohol to poor unhealthy relationships with friends and boyfriends. i have no true christian friends at all i can talk to. i want to change but im having a hard time because of this:
my dad is a strong evangelist. he travels all over the world during the winter and tells people of Gods Word. the thing is in my home all there is is hurting. my parents have been fighting for years and years. it is so bad now that it has taken a toll on their health. they have tried christian counseling but it hasnt helped. why wont God just restore and heal their relationship???!! it hurts everyone so much. it makes it hard for me to trust a christian man sometimes. it has changed our family. i feel lost . please pray for me and my family. thanks

RE: life
You are right. I never trust anyone including my parents since when I am little. Parents are just selfish while they were trying to sort out their own problem and not realising, we are suffering. Sometime felt like it is meaningless and hopless. felt disgusted at times. But you know what. When my family members accepted Jesus, love enters into our lives. My mum no longer nag and becoming so loving and now she is my best friend. My sister do not throw her anger and create trouble every day...now she is calm and adorable.
I have no idea why your dad cares so much for ppl when he can not even deal with his own family. He had failed not only you, your family but most of all, God. Whether you believe or not, God is not at all happy with Him. I believe God has a way in dealing with your dad. How it turns out, it will be amazingly miracle just like my family. I hope you get your comfort and hope in God...how? if you really have the desire to seek God, He will come to you. "If anyone come to me, I will give him rest" that is the promise from God. Seek Him, and I promise you that you will not turn back. Attend a cell group and get to know ppl. Why? as they will be there to give you comfort and strength when your family can not do this at the moment (until God works in them). God bless and remember that God loves you and He did sent ppl to you....but you have rejected help.

RE: life
Lord help Olive to trust in you and give her the peace she needs, and the strength to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and bad company. Have her see that if there is someone out there for her it is you. Comfort her and bring her way some caring Christians that will be understanding. May she make you the cornerstone of her life Lord. Also touch her parent's heart. and have her father see that to neglect his own family so he can go preaching around the world is not a good example to his children or to the world. Bring a healing in this family Lord, and may your love and peace enter into their hearts. May this be done for Your Glory and Honor Heavenly Father, I ask and thank you in Jesus Christ Precious Name, Amen! 
Psalm 27:10 - Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

RE: life
My prayers are with you. Please read as a prayer the psalm below. God Bless You!
Psalm 6
O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger,
or discipline me in your wrath.
2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.
3My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord—how long? 4Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who can give you praise?
6I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7My eyes waste away because of grief;
they grow weak because of all my foes.
8Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;
they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.

Olive, you said that you have no Christian friends. Well, you have Christian friends now! We may not be with you physically, but I hope you can feel the love and concern from those of us who have read your story. Olive, I pray that you will seek help for the drug use and for the alcohol use. Once you are free from the addictions, you will be able to make better choices and think more clearly to improve your life, with God's help. Though you might have made mistakes in the past, remember that if you ask God, all things are forgiven and made new.
God, we pray for your special intervention in Olive's life. She wants so badly to walk in the light. Please bless her and keep her safe from people who would influence her in the wrong way. Give her the strength to move away from bad influences. Help heal her family. Lord, remind Olive that you know every need of her heart. Please hold her in the palm of your hand when she feels despair. Love her, keep her, and give her new life. Amen.
