And the God of all grace, . . . after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10
You might think that everyone wants to believe in Jesus, but not everyone does. Maybe you're the only one in your family who has. Perhaps your parents are angry that you've become a Christian. Maybe your brothers and sisters make fun of you. It's hard when your family doesn't understand.
Pray for your family every day. Ask God to help them see that they need to trust Christ, too. If you behave in a kind and obedient way, your family will see God's love in you. God can give you strength to be kind even when they are not.
Also, you can ask God to help you tell your family about the Lord Jesus. Let God give you the right words to say at the right time. You can't make your family believe, but God may use your words, spoken in a gentle way, to help them understand. If you go to a church that teaches about Jesus, invite your family to go with you. They may say "no," but don't give up. Keep on praying. Keep on being kind. Keep on telling them about Jesus. One day, they might believe. You'll be so glad you didn't give up!
