Question

Help answer this question below.

How do I sneak away from my family to go to church?

I really need someone to talk to, but I don't know anybody I can trust. My mom is really strict on being places I shouldn't be when she doesn't know or say if I can be there or not. I've tried talking to teachers at school, talking to my mom about how much I need to go, I've tried doing something myself but I got caught before I even left the house. I really REALLY need this. Not just because I need to get a whole lot closer to God than I already am, but I need a safe place.

    The question is this. Why are you needing a place to be safe? The only place that is safe is you, within you. Not some church, town or sanctuary, it's you. It's not outside, somewhere else, it's within yourself. When you are safe within yourself you will be safe anywhere. Seek that first. Not some place, not some church, not some God. They can't give it to you. You have to give it to yourself. "I am safe within, no harm can come to me. I am happy within, and all around me I see joy." It's an affirmation you should say constantly till it becomes a sole habit to you. At the moment it becomes apart of you you will be safe no matter where you are.

    I can understand your desire for attending a church, and would support that if indeed I had children. One thing in your post that caught my eye is that you really need this because you need a safe place. I would suggest to you that if something in your home is causing you to feel unsafe, please talk with a teacher or counselor.

    Why would you need to sneak to church? Anyway, find a friend who goes to church, then tell parents that you are going with them (just as a friendly courtesy) Or, have the friend invite you in front of them, they may be ashamed enough to say yes.

    I don't know why you feel that you cannot tell your parents that you want to go to church but I would not encourage you to sneak away. Your parents need to know where you are for your own safety, I mean what if anything happened to you. Also as a parent myself if one of my boys told me that he wanted to go to church I would want to know a little about the church and perhaps go there to meet the minister etc to ensure that he was safe and I would do the same about a sport club or any other activities that he wanted to do. If you want to get closer to God you don't have to lie to your parents to do so, as long as you have him in your heart that is all that really matters, you don't have to go inside a church to feel closer to God, my advice is that you should be honest with your parents its not a good thing for a child to hide secrets from his/her parents.
