Hi, I'm Hettie. I was brought up Christian, attended C of E school and church but lost my way in my teens. To my shame, I fell in with a few atheists at university and thought I was terribly clever to deny my faith, although deep down I always felt a huge pang of guilt and I knew I was lying when I used to say I didn't believe. I have found my way back to God, but I need to work at getting back on the right path and to try and make up for how I behaved when I was younger. I thought joining a group where people discuss religion would be a good step. I think the bible study group will be a big help to me, I haven't read a bible for over 30 years and there's much to re-learn, I think. :)

Hi Hettie,
I understand how you feel. I used to refuse God when I was teenager, but I was lucky to return God. He helps me a lot in my life, my work and my family. My mum had a serious disease that is nearly death, but He cured my mum.
Sometimes, I cry to him because I have a hard life. However, I have recognized that this is his plan. If we love and follow him all our life, He will be with us.
I remember two bible sentences: We have to give all our burden to him, he will let us rest. and another, He wont leave and give up on us.
I hope you will be stronger in God. pray for each other.

I've just spent a little time reading through some of the discussions on this site, and I'm realising just how far I've been from God since I shut religion out of my life. There are so many distractions in the world, so many subtle things which lead us into sin. It makes me sad that I turned away from God for so long, but coming back makes me feel very happy.

Father in heaven, please bless these two sisters,
and all who visit an read this, with your love and grace.
Make your word become more alive and real to them
in ways they've never dreamed of.

Remind them, Lord, that in the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God.......
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Thank you, Jesus, for being the Living Word,
and thank you for giving us your Written Word,
where we can come to know you,
our Living Lord and Saviour,
and read about your great and precious promises.....
that we can and should come to you,
give all our cares to you, and you give us rest...
peace with God because you paid for our sins on the cross,
and assurance of eternal life with you because
you rose from the grave, and so we can trust in you
with all our hearts that you promise
to never leave us or forsake us. Amazing grace,
thank you, Lord, the creator of the universe has promised
to never leave us or forsake us, and we can walk with you,
learn from you, pray to you, rejoice in you, stand upon you,
live within you, and love because of you.

Yes, bless these sisters with the joy of your salvation,
and help us all to be lights that shine the way to you.
Bless our families with your grace and mercy,
bring reconciliation where it's needed,
and help us grow in grace and in the knowledge of you,
Jesus, we give you all our thanks and praise,
in your name we pray. Amen.

I'm glad that you are on the right track in your spiritually journey. I highly recommend that you pick up the bible that you haven't read in 30 years. Yes, there is much to re-learn and new insightful things to learn as well. Glad to have you here on this site. Welcome to CC.
