RE: I just don't really know what to do, feeling so down at the moment

King'sKid, thanks for the update & how awesome that you had a talk with your dad & he prayed with you!
When I was a teen, in high school I was always with my friends & as you, I rarely stopped. Life is busy at that age with school, friends, often a part time job, family.. there is little self time, time to stop & also reflect. It is VERY understandable how you feel as you do.
That is why it is so neat for us here to hear that you are a teen & are a CHRISTIAN! So often the world does move so fast with so much to do at that age, God isn't part of the vocabulary. SO, the fact that you come to God, to pray & especially with your family is wonderful.
Know that your frustrations too are normal, living with your parents as a teen is not easy, it's not easy as we get older period, because we can love them to death but there are personalities & it's not easy. I'm sure there's much love but it's just a lot of work! So, remember that too, it's normal to have struggles!
It is great that your dad prayed with you the other night & oh my if you can enlist your parents this way to pray with you, pray over you.. that I'm sure will help you too & help them! It's Wonderful to pray with /for others.. I'm sure they are honored to have you ask them if you feel comfortable doing so.. & parents that pray with their children are like Gold.. so it sounds you have some pretty neat parents!!!
King'sKid, when we walk with CHRIST we learn who we are in HIM. God is Love so when we love with all of our hearts, we are one with HIM. When we forgive others or appologize again, that is love. God does not ask us to be perfect that would be impossible..
I will keep you in my prayers as well as the other posters here, lifting up our needs to HIM. There is much turmoil in the world & one this is always true, GOD IS AWESOME.
I have a prayer I say when I wake up every morning. I may not get back to praying any certain prayer during the day, but it helps me to focus & ask for protection before I start my day each day. It doesn't take but a few minutes & I usually can be eating breakfast while I say it... but if I don't say it I can tell .. also putting on God's Armor each day before you start your day. just some prayer maybe you find online or the Our Father, you could ask your parents if they know of a good prayer to say that you could print & say silently for instance while you eat. I love to multitask, so that way I get a lot done at once & often I pray this way too. I don't think God minds!
Remember, when you follow Christ you are a leader.. & it is not easy at your age, SO MANY distractions, emotions, changes, challenges but I am SURE your parents are very proud of you that you call on GOD & I think it's fantastic that your parents are praying for you, with you.. you are a very fortunate gal!
I am GLAD that you have much to do, a full life, that is good.
Maybe try multitasking God into your schedule. Pray while you do other things.. that way you don't feel that you are giving up but adding to..
Remember don't strive for perfection, strive for LOVE, GOD IS LOVE, & glad you are doing better! Never hesitate asking for prayer on these types of forums. There are MANY that LOVE to pray for people.. never forget that.
HUGS to you & your precious family.
