Growing up it seemed like we (Christians) were taught to "just keep believing" to "just have faith" or to "keep trying." We were taught to basically stuff it. God has been revealing to me over the past couple months that it is ok to feel emotions towards him. It's ok to get mad, get sad, get disappointed about that things that upset you. It is when we start saying things to God like, "YOU did this" or "YOU didn't do that" or "if YOU would just do what I wanted" that we've crossed the fine line from having emotions to accusing God of wronging us. God has never wronged us; he provides, loves, and suffers for us. Be open about how you feel towards God but don't place false blame and accusations against him. Thank him for the blessings he has given you and trust that everything will turn out just the way he wants it.

I'd say reforming undesirable behavior might even be impossible on your own. But there is still hope for us. With the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit and a renewed mind, you can reform your behavior. Youth conference with lots of God encounters! An encounter with God is the easiest way to reform undesirable behavior because the encounter will fill you with the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord renews our minds in a way that informs our bodies of what's beneficial to our spiritual health in the eyes of God. So, your mouth doesn't want to lie anymore; your tongue won't allow you to eat certain things; your eyes will be opened to the evil of pornogra
