Hi, I'm S. I used to be a super devout Christian, but over the years, I kinda lost my faith in God. Though I suppose my faith isn't completely gone, or I wouldn't still pray, nor would I still be seeking out God. Right now I am at a very difficult time of my life. It's extremely difficult for me to seek out the Lord because I am living in another country. There are no churches that I can go to, & there are no Christians around me. In fact, people here poke fun at American culture because of the Christianity that so heavily dominates it. That being said, it's very difficult for me to be spiritually fed when I am surrounded by so much worldliness. Unfortunately, I have also fallen into addiction and I have a lot of problems in my personal life. I'm not a bad person, but I admit I am very sick, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I feel as though I need God now more than ever. I truly want to believe in God, and I hope to someday find the great passion that I once had in worshipping Him. What's more, I hope to break my addictions and be whole again. Hoping to find a warm environment of fellowship and godliness here. Message me any time. Lots of love,
S.

Hi S,
I am new to this group also, but I would like to welcome you with open arms and a big hug! I too, was in church growing up and as I grew older I kinda slipped away from the church although I still believed. I too kinda lost my faith when my son was suddenly and tragically killed in 06. For a couple solid years I stayed drunk on alcohol, blamed God, was mad at God, blamed myself, felt guilty, etc. etc. you name it. Although I didn't fall into anything harder other than alcohol and anxiety medication it was years of struggle for me to beat the alcohol addiction. I am proud to say I haven't drank any alcohol in 7 months! It may not seem that long to some but trust me it's a great achievement for me :) The decision for me to get back into church and on the right path towards a Godly life in Christianity has been weighing heavily on my mind and heart lately. So I have made the decision to rededicate my life to the Lord and get back into church though I have some negative influence around me as well. I could go on and on....but I said that to say this. Sweetie, I don't know all of your situation and I am not here to judge you that is not what a Christian does, but even though you are living somewhere that as you said "Poke fun at American culture" and you said it's difficult for you to be spiritually fed obviously you STILL have some faith in your heart to be reaching out in this group. I will be praying for you and I think you are making a step in the right direction by reaching out for help and guidance. PLEASE don't give up and hold on to your faith! I am sure you will find your passion back for God, pray to him, ask him for guidance and help as well. He will never turn his back on his children. If you EVER need someone to talk to, vent to or whatever you can message me. We will start on this new journey again together my friend!

Welcome to both my sisters.......ive been through so many trials.....lived through so much pain....and the one
and only thing that was constant in my life..... was God....I may have turned from Him and blamed Him.......
But in truth it was my fault .....I constantly found myself in these situations because I forgot to give them to
Him....I struggle in my stubbornness to handle things alone.....I was a grownup and isnt that what we are suppose to do...
What I found was this.....everytime I remembered to put God above all I do...asking for His guidence...and being
patient...things always worked out.....faith is easily gainned....and easier to lose....but God tells us all we need is a
mustard seed amount and He is right there......but the worst thing I think I did....was when I gave it to Him......
and then continued to worry....begging for Him to hear me....pannicing.....all I was doing was holding on to it....
not really turning it over for Him to take care of....so now...I give Him my burdens and walk away.....thanking Him for
taking care of it......never to beg again...continuing His work...loving others and moving on....

I am here for the both of you.....you can pm me....if you read my posts ...you can read these amazing things..
the heart ache and triumph over everything....and I stand...because I had just alittle faith and trust.....now I have
enough faith for all of us...and you can have some of mine...because every time I give it away....I get more...
Peace and love....my sisters.........jo

Hey great people of God. This is my very first post and I am so excited. No matter what you've been through if there is still breathe in your body its because God still has work for you to do. Im learning in my youth the many times I turned ny back on God in the past he was still there he was not ready to let me go. Unconditional and agape love means no matter what I love u regardless. Some times God loves us enough to let us be in a destitute situation so we can turn back to him. He truly doesn't want any to be lost. I pray GOD strengthens all of u ladies and surrounds u with joy that consumes u abundandantly. If u have internet access their is a great app called the word church. Sermons, prayer request and leaders who are relatable. Food for the spirit to keep u going. No man is an island to himself the enemy would love for us to think we are alone and hopeless and our sin is greater then God but the blessing is there is truth that supersedes every trick and sceme of the enemy. Be blessed and stay connected

Hey S you are more than welcome here. I hope we can encourage you as you look for God. I truly believe that no matter how many Christians are or are not around you, if you go looking for God you will find him. Because he is looking for you too. And he is ecstatic when we do and we come back to him. If you ever need to chat or need somebody to pray with or for you my pm box is open. Either way I hope you like it here
