I know how this is. I have a close guy friend who just decided one day he doesn't believe in God. He, too, likes to "cry on my schoulder" and tell me everything that's going wrong in his life. But just because my friend and your friend "don't believe in God", doesn't mean we have to sit back and keep our mouths shut about God.

Whenever he comes to me with problems, I hear him out (which is really important, and you're obviously doing this right. So, um, good job.). Once he's told me everything he wants to spill, I just ask "Do you want to know what I think?" or "Do want me to give you advice." Which he does. Then I give him biblical advise. Afterall, who knows better than God how to handle problems? Wether he professes Christ or not, our friend are seeking us out because we have a Rock to cling to that they don't. Don't think that his rejecting God means you have a gag order. Jesus lives in you, so what you say will and should reflect him.

That would be my advice for you. I know it's REALLY tough. My friend simply drives me mad (mainly because he knows the truth and he won't act on it!!), but with our prayers, spirit directed words, and the actions of God in these people's life-- there's still hope for them. I'll pray for both you and your friend.

tanx that helps! no 1s ever put it like that for me before. tanx again

I thoroughly agree with Mangafanatic on this issue. Even if someone is not Christian, the Bible has loads of parables and morals to live one's life by. I would definitely arm myself with quotes from the good holy book and be ready for your friend the next time a "rant session" comes on.

And one more quick thing: sometimes people go looking for trouble just for the attention, mayhap this is what is happening with your friend. Just be there for them, show them you love them, and it will be good in the end. I'm sure the Lord is using you in His work with this issue. *hugs*

(Psst... PM me if you need any more advice or just wanna rant. I know the shoulders people cry on often need shoulders, too!)

tanx staci i'll keep that in mind!

You sure about the fries? I brought fries.

*has fries*

na i need to cut back. *licks lips at the thought of fries*

If they're fries from McDonald's, I'll have some! With BBQ sauce, please!

Ahem... back on topic, I'll pray. (I'm liking your prayer requests doubled with humor requests, c.t.,girl!)

Oh, wow. I will be praying about your friend.

tanx e'ery1 that really means a lot to me!

i will pray and here is a few verse for you.

James 5
19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Galatians 6
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

i agree with Manga confrunt the probleams with an answer from God. They know in there heart that there is a God. exsecialy if they were once Christians.

i have but she's very stuborn, but she likes it when i tell her 'bout God. iono what's up with that.

just a heads up with this friend:
she's still feels the same and she seems like she's getting farther and farther everytime. i don't want to loose her forever, but if i have to leave her and loose her as a friend in this life then fine. she scares me sumtimes *nuzzles face in hands and cries*. "God, oh God! please help her and me! it gets harder all the time!" *nuzzles face back in hands and cries*

Wow. I know how it feels to have friends that are drifting. I'll be praying.

I'm sorry about your friend. Obviously the best thing to do is pray to God and trust in Him. If she's really falling deep into sin then you might need to get more aggresive on her, explain to her what she's doing wrong, and don't be timid or hold back. Now I don't mean follow her around all day quoting the bible, but sometimes people in trouble need a little wake up call. I'll pray of course.

I will pray.

thank you all! i wish you guys could see my face. i feel so glad that i have friends like all of you. i don't...know what... *starts to cry, seriously i am crying* she's my best friend, my sister(not really but ya know), and i don't like it that she's fallen. she tells me she doesn't know what she believes in, but she says she seriously doesn't want to believe in God. she use to be on fire, and now...*cries more*just keep praying. thanx yall!
