Almost 10 years ago I let religious people and a money hungry church hurt me so deeply that I haven't had fellowship with other Christians in a while and even worse in a half hearted believer right now. It's not that I don't believe in Christ but I haven't given Him the love and time in my life like I should. I want Him back so badly but I have no idea how to start. I know I need to pray and get back into the word but I'm scared how do u ask for forgiveness from the one person who has never disappointed you when you feel like you have let Him down?

I need you Lord more than ever but I feel so alone

He knows the sins you commited yesterday, the sins you commit today, and the sins you will commit tomorrow. He died for you to pay for all of them.

Visit a few Churches. The ones that have life, fellowship, and love will be apparent to you. You are part of the body. We love you and need you to be the person God made you to be. Welcome back.

You don't have to ask Him for it, but simply THANK Him that He already forgave you.... long ago. All you need to do is walk toward Him.

Hello -

I'm not really religious, but I believe that you can have a relationship with Jesus without being part of the Church necessarily.
It sounds like you lack a sense of community. I think if you believe in Jesus, then you can find ways to incorporate him into your life without having to be a part of a church. Being part of a church is beneficial to many people, though, so I hope you can find somewhere you are welcome.

I just don't think you absolutely NEED to be part of a church to feel like you're connected to God. Just my opinion.

If you're talking about letting God down, then you must believe he expects something from you.

You seem to know the root of your problem well. What you must do is absolutely surrender to the Lord Jesus and allow his love and promise of secure rest to wash over you. Yes, this means even in the hardest of times. God bless.

Why are you so lost? Don't you have the instruction manual?

"1Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law he meditates day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."

All of the answers you seek are in the word. Start here: Psalms 1 The Holy Scriptures (Jubilee Bible 2000)

Thank you I spent an entire day in prayer and worship and I just surrendered it all and my heart does not feel as heavy I put so much focus on the church being a imperative role in Christianity that I was lost in the worlds description that I found myself face to face with His Spirit and the answers came clear I don't need a house of worship I need to live in worship no matter where I am

Talk to him like you talk to a friend. Thankfully we have a loving God that is willing to always hear us. Cry out to him, read the word and listen to his voice. Remember, he loves you more than you could ever fathom! Plus, we are here if you need any help or fellowship.
God bless you! :)
