Hi Shaniesa and welcome to the forum!

Here are a few Scriptures that should be of encouragement to you. Look them up and read them, and pray that God will work in you the things these Scriptures teach you:

Getting In Trouble with Parents.
Ephesians 6:1-3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=eph%206:1-3;&version=51;)
Colossians 3:20 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203:20;&version=51;)

Ephesians 4:1-2 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204:1-2;&version=51;)
Romans 12:18 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:18;&version=51;)

Ephesians 4:25 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204:25;&version=51;)
Colossians 3:9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203:9;&version=51;)

Click on the passages above and they will take you to Biblegateway.com. in there you can read them in the version I used for the search which is the New Living Translation, and you can also switch to other versions and read them again put another way.

As you grow in your faith, you will find that God will begin to work His work in you. In my experience if you read your Bible and pray every day, your life will be more in line with what is pleasing to God than if you neglect these things. The Bible will influence your thinking and you will become more Christlike.

Blessings to you and I pray that the Lord will give you a Christian friend, and that as your family observes the change He will work in you, they also will come to believe.

I grew up in an atheistic home but God can still work.
Concentrate on Scriptures that tell of the Gospel. Fill your heart with the grand story of Christ's love and forgiveness for you given through His death for your sins freely forgiving you even while you were his enemy. When we grasp how much His great love is for us in faith, then forgiving and loving others will be 2nd nature (forgive the pun).

Don't do what i did which is: "You are all going to Hell!" :P

You're not alone, many of us have gone or are going through what you are. Learn to be Christlike in your attitude and behaviour [humble of spirit, patience and outward showing of love] towards your family and it will pay off in the long run. Oh and praying for their salvation doesn't hurt either. Today is not the only day of salvation, if it were He would have opened everyone's hearts and minds who ever lived before they died. God calls His children in due time, some now, some later and the rest who died before they had a chance will have their chance at the great white throne judgment. He has called you first and will call on your family in His own good time so don't panic, you're family isn't doomed to the lake of fire just yet. Live the example Christ showed us and God will have a way of working through you that your family may yet be saved.

One of the things I did was read my Bible when I was sitting having breakfast (coffee and toast) with my Mom. I'd just read and so the topic would "just seem" to come up. I wasn't doing this on purpose, but it worked out that I had the opportunity to ask her about her beliefs, and then I'd show her in the Scripture why I believe the way I do.

She had been relying on attendance at Mass and taking the sacraments, but soon developed a real relationship with Christ.

There ya go chum.
Score:
God 1 :pp
Satan 0. :lol:

My teenage daughter came to me just a few days ago asking about God and how to live the way He wants us to for the first time ever. Goes to show how living the example is a far more powerful inducer than being preachy.
