I have just started getting close to the Lord and establishing a relationship. I go on nightly walks here on the country side of Ohio. During my walks is when I speak to God and continue working on a relationship. That probably sounds weird but he defiantly has been letting me know he's calling to me. Hard to explain in words.
You're explaining it quite well and are obviously on the right track as you begin your spiritual walk with the Lord.

Welcome to CC bro' It doesn't matter where you have come from. If your greatest effort is to be with Him then you will know within yourself that all you have and are are to be His. Coming from great darkness into the light is blindingly beautiful. The love and acceptance can be overwhelming, and I pray the Holy Spirit will anoint you with power.

Make sure you ask the Holy Spirit to live in you, make sure you give to Jesus all the hidden parts of you that shame you, speak them out and their power within you will fade to nothing. Most important is to listen with your heart not with your mind and understanding, be on your guard, satan wants nothing more that for you to fail. Listen with your heart, feel with the Spirit God gives you, it will interact with your Spirit.

Please find someone to fellowship with, a church to meet with, they will help you with a direction for your energies and a filter for your emotions. Go in peace bro. If you want to talk PM me God bless, and I am praying for you.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I highly appreciate it!

I find just talking to God is the best way to start to know him. I leant how much love He has for me. I found one way prayer doesn't work for me I have to have a reply. I feel so much closer to Him that way. I also go for a wander outside to talk deeply with Him. God bless you

It doesn't sound weird at all. Only others who have heard the voice of God calling to them will know what you're talking about.

Hi Scott, Its can be hard trying to improve ourselves for the better. But Its true that we are learning every day. God wants us to believe in what we can do, and to improve our self confidence. And also realise what is wrong and right for us. And what feels right to us. God will let us know. I myself am on a journey. I am reaching out to God, and trying hard to get things right, for my own self worth. Life can try us at the best of times. God knows our hearts. So just be kind to yourself and keep your faith no matter how tough things get. The Lord believes in you.
