please help me

about 5 months ago my parents found out that i had intercourse and i am only 16. it happened at the end of last year. since then i went to ann all girls retreat. there i learned that even with what i did, god still loved me. I understand what i have done is wrong. i have repented of my sins. i am a christian and everyone makes mistakes.

the problem is my parents are now using the fact that i didnt save my virginity to their advantage. i may be wrong but they are exaggerating in ways like not letting me hang out with friends, or not letting me see my bf. they are making me feel like they don't want me to get back up and go on with my life. please pray for me. i need help because it is affecting my family. i dont want to seek help from others but the word of God.

God loves you
by: Malachi

GOD loves you very much and he knows your heart. He is the Alpha and the Omega and he is your heavenly father forever. Just know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit and ask God to fill you with the holy spirit. Jesus paid for all our sins and know that "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature;the old things are passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Pray for your parents that they make understand the word of the lord.

Trust must be earned
by: Anonymous

Hello precious, read your story and just want to encourage you...
Firstly gotta say what a blessing that you are now a Christian! Praise the Lord for that!
Now about your parents, it's understandable why they feel tighter restrictions are in order because precious, you betrayed their trust. But you're right, through Christ, you are forgiven; and as Romans 8 says so clearly, "There is now no condemnation", there are still consequences to actions made. You made a wrong choice but you're stuck there for you have been redeemed by the shed Blood of God's dear Son.
That said, there are things on the practical side that can help walk out this new life now given you. Guard your heart and be patient with your parents. They love you and want the absolute best for you. Allow them to meet your friends, fellowship with your friends at your home so that your parents may get to know them and see how you interact with one another. Talk honestly with your parents and remind them of your commitment to Christ and how your relationship to God will direct your future decisions. And go to church and bible study so that you can learn through scripture how to live that out. You will find as you grow in the knowledge of God, you will grow inwardly as well.
It's going to be all right precious. As scripture tells us, (you) are a brand new creation through faith in Christ". Another passage encourages us to "forget the past and press onward to obtain the great prize of the calling of God". Precious, God saved you for a purpose. You were chosen "before the foundation of the world". Thank God you are saved, now find out why.
God bless.


Seeing through another set of eyes
by: Barbara

We serve a God of a second chance. You still have a chance to save yourself from this point until marriage. Also know that we serve a God who forgives us for our transgressions when we confess and repent. During this time of difficulty, Proverbs 3: 5-6 can be used to rebuild you. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."

As for your parents, they probably feel that the trust they had in you has been broken. This can be repaired. As you work on your personal restoration, follow your parents' guidelines without complaining. Give them an opportunity to see that you are still the
daughter they love so much. Pray that God will direct them also. You may want to ask your parents if all of you can pray together as you all go through this. Praying together gives insight as to the other feelings.

I will keep you in my prayers!!
