When you get upset at someone at home, for example your mom or brothers & sisters, & maybe you yell at them, take some time & later go back & appologize. It's perfectly normal to get upset when living with another human being, it is not easy, especially our family we can love them to pieces & they irritate us when we are under same roof (at times). So know you are normal.
When you relax & take a break then go back & say I am sorry for being upset.. & know too that Jesus does NOT expect perfection.
He is asking us to perfect ourselves in HIM, there is a huge difference.
Try to dream of Heaven when you are upset, this life is in passing & even in the BEST of families things can seem rough.
What I do when I feel discouraged or alone is to think of chapters of the bible that I love reading, I read them again, and I think of Heaven and what that will be like.
Never hesitate to post at Christian boards like this for your prayer when you need them. It's great to see a teen following Christ.
You are a trailblazer. So proud of you..

That alone is wonderful, & please don't stop.
It is not easy, life, and living with parents, brothers & sisters can be a challenge, no matter your age. Everyone can have good intentions but there are personalities involved.
As previous poster says, you're doing great, so keep working for JESUS & you'll be fine. Try to put more energy into these thoughts (of God) & less into things you cannot control. Always do what is right in God's Eyes & HE WILL reward you. We don't always see immediate results but when we lay our heads down at night to sleep we know that we have had a blessed day for HIM.
Hang in there & continue to reach out to other Christians as this place, for your support & remember NO MATTER WHAT Jesus is ALWAYS there for you.
It always makes me feel happy to see someone your age devoted to CHRIST. You are a blessing! When you need that reminder & support, post here, we'll help you.
GOD BLESS!

I can tell you that they feel that way sometimes too. They to love the Lord. I have had conversations with them both about almost the same things. You keep on working for Jesus,everything will be alright. Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Precious Jesus, lead and direct the paths of this child of Yours. Lord, please help them to hold tight to You when the storms of life are about them. Protect them and keep them safe. Give them knowledge and understanding.In this I ask in Your name,Jesus.Amen.
