Question:<\/h2>\n

I am a convert to Christianity, but my family belongs to the Hindu religion. My family opposes Christianity. They refuse to accept Jesus. I have a very strong belief in Jesus from the core of my heart. My problem is that I am losing my temper, which affects my surroundings. My parents are irritated by me. I feel alone and feeling more inferior. I am disturbed by something. I cannot read the Bible and listen to God. I’m simply grumbling in my prayers. I know it’s not fair, but I don’t know how to overcome this. Will you pray for me?<\/p>\n\t

Answer:<\/h2>\n

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching<\/em>” (Hebrews 10:23-25).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the reasons for gathering each first day of the week with other Christians is for each to benefit from the encouragement of others. It helps to know you are not alone. Thus, if you are not attending worship services as you should, you need to begin.<\/p>\n

In regards to anger, you need to put your religion into practice. See:\u00a0The Wolves Within<\/a>\u00a0and read through the passages at the end.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
