Hey all!
I, like many others on here am new.
I was raised a Christian and stepped away from it early teen years. I'm now 37. For the past many years I've been trying to change through prayer and the bible.
So many times you hear or see a statement that "all you need to do is believe and ask then you will be saved".
Am I the only one trying this and having it not work? Seems I can go deep into prayer each night read the bible (almost) daily. Listen to almost only Christiam music but still can't seem to get any closer.
I've tried a few churches. I'm pretty shy but just can't seem to find one where there is anyone forward enough to offer real help beyond 5 minutes before church.
Even more so I just can't get myself on the move to even want to go.
There's just so much and sometimes I spend the entire night stressed out of my mind and I just can't seem to get out of the hole I'm in.
I have endless questions and I have a head full of issues I know but believe me this is barely scratching the surface. I can't believe that I'm alone with these questions and fears.
I've prayed that maybe someone that has been through these things might help. Then someday when I'm stronger I could pass that on to someone else in need.
So thank you for the ears, eyes and hopefully prayers, Kevin
