Im beginning to think if having a relationship with God if worth it because i dont seem to be getting anything out of it. Ok i'll start at the beginning. I really struggle with job interviews, ive had so many in the past and ive always come out feeling like a failure and totally humiliated because ive said the wrong thing or because ive said nothing due to my mind going blank because of nerves. For the last week ive been preparing for a job interview that i had today, i really wanted to get through this interview even if it didn't mean getting the job, ive being praying now everyday for God just to help me relax while im in there and to stop my mind going blank and basically just to help me get through it. when i got there someone came to collect me and took me to the interview room, i walked in and there was four interviewers there, my nerves were totally shattered, in my mind i was saying please god help me get through this. I sat down and in turn they all asked me some questions and guess what my mind went totally blank and i couldn't think what to say, i answered every question but just mumbled a load of crap! i came out totally humiliated again! im so upset i cant stop crying im never going to get a job at this rate, i really wanted that job too but i know i haven't got it. im such a failure! why has God let me down like this? im so mad with him I've told him to get out my life I've lost all faith in him

well done

hope all goes well for you, good luck!

Thanks whiteshadow, I really thought that if god didn't give confirmation when i asked him to then the thing i was asking about wasn't going to happen! but saying that even when he does give confirmation when i ask i just think its coincidence! i really need to have more faith and understand that gods timing is best.

thanks daisy for your reply it as given me hope.It would be nice to hear what other people on here have to say on the subject and if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

Ive asked the lord for confirmation on something i believe is going to come to pass, however when i ask for confirmation its sometimes a few days late not on the day I've asked it to be on, is this still from the lord? why is he late giving me the confirmation?

thanks connie x

how cool! so if we speak in a different language do we automatically now what we've just said? sorry for all the questions but im new to all this

thank you, i really need to get the fear of Satan out my head, i feel that sometimes he does have an influence over the way i think, I haven't got the gift of tongues, can anyone speak in tongues? do we have to ask god to give us the ability?

ive been wondering can Satan hear our prayers? im scared to pray out loud because if he does that means he knows where our weaknesses lie which gives him an advantage over us

thanks everyone for the good advice, im not involved in a church at the moment, im abit nervous about going alone but ive being praying about it

hi, how do we determine if a dream with have is symbolic or literal ?

I used to have dreams every night, sometimes i could have at least 4 a night but for the last 2 weeks i cant remember any of my dreams, ive had about 2 at the most which i can remember. i feel like god as stopped talking to me does this ever happen to anyone else? ive prayed for god to speak to me, i miss hearing from him

thankyou very much for your help. the lord as spoke to me many times and i always question if its him or not and most of the time its quite obvious thats its him, i suppose thats where i have to stop doubting and have faith thanks again

what part of the bible do you recommend i read that relates to faith? ive only just started reading the bible so not sure where to look.

hi jjp708 thanks for the reply. I didn't see anything that made me doubt, something just told me in my mind that even though the sign said it was the way home i just didn't believe it.

I was in the countryside riding my bike, it was peaceful and sunny, i needed to get home i think i was due to be at a party, i didnt know which way to go i was lost, i said to god you are my eyes show me the way, then i came to a road sign which had the area which i lived on it, but i still wasn't sure weather to go that way or not, it was like i didn't believe that was the way home. could this mean that i dont have faith in what god is telling me?

Thankyou lola, do you think the nightmares are from Satan too, or is it god warning me?

hi Tinique, I think i know god has forgiven me, its just most of the time i feel I'm not worthy, its like god is saying why should i answer your prayers there are people worse off than you so toughen up! would god say those things? i also think sometimes that the devil is trying to ruin things for me and is trying to make me backslide. Im so confused i dont know what to think its like the devil is pulling me one way and god is pulling me another

I used to be involved in the occult, i experimented with things from tarot cards to Ouija boards. I have recently came back to the lord, i burnt everything that i owned to do with the occult and repented for what id been involved in. i just want to know will being involved in the occult in the past still have a negative effect on my life, i sometimes dream that my house is haunted and that im still using the Ouija board the dreams are really frighting, if there is something still there from my past how do i get rid of it, ive prayed about it but im not sure its done any good, or maybe its me just being paranoid?

i will get reading

thankyou. I've just brought a good news bible, its supposed to be easier to understand

Im a new christian, Ive never really read the bible i feel parts of it are to hard to understand. do you have to start reading the bible from the beginning? or can you pick and choose where you start? sorry if this sounds like and stupid question but when you read a ordinary book you normally start from the beginning

hi chioma, thankyou thats has put my mind at rest a bit. I dont know why ive got it in my head that the devil is try to deceive me, ive been so stressed about it i wish i could just trust in god and not doubt him, its like i need his reassurance everyday or i lose faith, its driving me crazy
