Christian help please?

I have trouble concentrating in church, like my mom works here so I come in her office and watch the service online. While I'm watching it, I do R&S and all. I have a short attention span and have trouble listening to one person talk an hour and a half. I read my Bible and pray and will help out with the kids at my church, and go on R&S a lot, but I just have trouble concentrating in church.

I have had trauma, I guess you could say throughout the years, and I hate being around people. I hate sitting by people, ect, which is why I watch it in my mom's office. Also, sitting there kind of bores me.

Is this bad?

I wouldn't say it's "bad" so much as a warning sign. I think it's really great that you've recognized this on you own! My dad would (and STILL does) punish me when I was ill and couldn't go. What he didn't understand was that I wanted to go, but because he acted like that about it, I automatically associated the punishment with going. So I went through a phrase like that, where I had great trouble concentrating etc but then I realized I wasn't going for him - I was going because I wanted to go and hear God's Word and teaching. I started taking notes because that forced me to concentrate - even if I didn't feel like it that day. Also the main thing that brought the change was that every morning before I went I would ask the Lord to help me concentrate so that I could listen and learn from his Word.

God can heal you of that. It's not normal. It is bad. Do you expect to be in Heaven? How will you deal with being around people there? These are your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. You will spend eternity with them. If you don't want to be near them now...

I'm not saying you don't love them, I'm just saying, yes, it's bad.

Its not bad
it happens, listening to a person for hours can be boring
when it happens to me I usually close my eyes
as concentration is ur problem try out for yoga or meditation
it works
Try to change yourself, try to talk to people
If u make a first attempt people will appreciate it
and u'll never get bored

I used to go to Church, and i did the same thing. I'd listen for 5mins, then daydream for 55mins. lol It's too hard to pay attention for that long, especially to one person, with little to no visual aids to keep ur attention. It's so old school, just like church is. To be honest, my life has a lot less drama, polittics and scrutiny, since I left the church.

well.. believe what you want to believe. A person is saved by their own beliefs.

From what you have described, no it's not bad at all. I can't really stand to listen to an hour and a half sermon myself lol. It should be quicker and to the point imo. and I think your trauma(whatever it is), maybe be the cause of you not wanting to be around people, or you could just be shy.

I wouldn't worry about it.

i don't think it's bad. you're actually trying. not just once, you try over and over again. that probably means something in God's eyes.

i would usualy pray before i go to church that my mind would be cleared from distractions and that i will be ready to listen, works for me :)

no, but your avatar is too big

May be or Not But ...

Just for you to know the truth
There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the peaceful path of happiness so we want to be just better everyday
So
Spiritually,
What is God? ,
What鈥檚 makes God as god? ,
What is God鈥檚 Power? ,
For all sort of these questions, I have very limited understanding so Let me give you the point. Well, just try to know, what鈥檚 makes God as god, the Power, isn鈥檛 it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, It can give the ability to organise all things and It can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the Ability to control everything, Isn鈥檛 it? Isn鈥檛 it Good? Ah? So, what I try to say here is, from my hard study and research effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so, The Power of God is always the omnipotent and existed among everything so the God now is always the same omnipotent, who is organised us So how could that be possible to be perfect in perfection always, Ah鈥? And The Power of God, the ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness. So ~ LOVE IS THE ABILITY ~
We have to lift it up little by little towards Perfection. So

If you are humble, please... Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith and. Good in Bad & Bad in Good so the values is most important. God gave us the rights to do what is right for you and sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so
Basically, just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God's will first always
And
I have true testimony of true God
Please, just try to understand the fundamental...

If you think, why so much trouble and pain in this world鈥? Then there is only one reason, without pain, No pleasure and without pleasure, no pain. So without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them in our development towards the perfection of God. So-so you use pain and pleasure instead of pain and pleasure use you. I mean you must link a lot of pleasure in order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
And
It is Wonderful鈥?wonderful nature for us by the true鈥?God. And
we all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith鈥?it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. And If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard and some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? SO,
So, just try to understand, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things so just
understand this please.
We cannot get anything from nothing so changing something into this perfect state, we need something or someone so all things are spiritually first, to govern everything by God. So, closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. And most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now and try to know where you come from to have the great gift of understanding and then, have the faith to become the best winner in your life. And this is the best meaning of happy life.
And
The Low of mercy cannot rob the Low of justice so God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, because God is perfect in perfection so Jesus Christ is our savior to pay our punishment of our sin so-so Because of the perfect love of god for you. So God gave Jesus Christ for us ~ FOR US ~
Well,

It is the time to make the great decision.
Good luck.
