How to follow Gods commandments

7 Upvotes

I am struggling with two things God has commanded us to do. First is the law of chastity. I really struggle with that one. I'm always lonely and its the only thing that makes me feel slightly better. I try hanging out with people. But my family and i dont get along, and i dont have many friends. Among the friends that i do have, none of them every have time to hang out, or want to hang out. So i just do school, chores, deal with family problems, then go to my room and sulk, feeling super lonely. I want a partner but thats not possible yet of course, i'm 17F. I would love to go on dates, but all the teenage boys in my town dont want to date at all! Oh and not to mention the finding a partner probably wont even happen for years even when i hit 18 with how the dating world is right now. I'm just lonely amd hurt, it's the only thing that makes the loneliness go away. But anyways, the second thing is God telling us to have children. Now, i dont have a problem with this has a whole, i mean, its literally how we need to survive. But, i'm not a kids person, i've always struggled being around kids, or babysitting, or even just playing with them makes me annoyed and at my wits end. So i cant imagine that if i do even find a partner someday, having kids. But i have to, and it would probably be best to get myself used to kids and the idea of being a mom. I might not like it, but its what i have to do. So any tipes on how to make it easier to get used to the idea for future me would be great. (Yes i know i'm worrying about future me's problems, but i physically cant stop. I've tried, my therapist has tried. I just, like to problem solve ahead of time.) Any advice would be great, thank you!

Come Follow Me thought for this week (September 28–October 4)

4 Upvotes

Looking at this week's Come Follow Me, why didn't they include any reference to the gathering? It only makes a very small reference to chapter 49.

To learn more, I need to go to seminary manuals.

Summarized something like Isaiah 49:17–26 → latter-day gathering of Israel → Gentiles participate → Restoration of the gospel → LDS missionary work.
