Hi, I'm new here. I'm lost confused and nobody to freely consult without judgment. My only experience and knowledge of christ, is simply belief. I can't recite scriptures, I don't even know how to decipher the words. I don't know how to pray, nobody ever taught me, so I just talk like I'm having a conversation with myself. I don't know where to begin when I'm so late to the party? I need guidance, is anybody there?

Dear sister, you have already begun. Welcome to the Kingdom. There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. We are here to love and guide fellow believers without condemning judgement.

This journey is a walk not a sprint so don't be so hard on yourself. We can teach you the basics and answer your questions.

I would begin reading in Mark. Until you see who God is and relate to Him in His characteristics that are shown by Jesus then it is difficult when praying to feel like your praying to someone. It will eventually be like you talking to a friend but of course with respect to Him being our Creator.

Don't hesitate to reach out to anyone in this community for help. You have embarked on a marvelous journey.

"I hope you come to learn and not to be overly confused.
I have learned over the years to do the best I know how in practicing
the principles of life with perseverance. And prayer simply being a
quiet time alone having a God awareness in our thoughts and actions.

Hello Theresa! I'm here, we can talk if you want! Also, if you want to understand the bible you only have to ask Jesus to open your ears and eyes to his word. He said that if we ask, we shall receive, seek and we shall find, and knock and the door will be opened. That means we only have to ask him to help us and reveal what he wants us to do. You can talk to God anywhere you are, even in your mind and heart he will hear you as long as you want to please him and do his will.

Ephesians is wonderful for "starting to know God, and what we have In Him"...

You're not late at all. You are right on time, dear sister.
You are actually in a very good place right now...

James 4:6
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”

We must all empty ourselves of self and come to grips with our own depravity. Just surrender and let Him lead you.

Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

We warmly welcome thee to CC, dear sister TheresaMarie.

Glad to have you joining the discussions and nice to meet you! When praying to God, remember He is our Father in Spirit, so when you want to pray, talk to him w/reverence and closeness as a bond between Father and daughter. You can tell him anything knowing of his unconditional love and care for you. God bless and keep you!

I will pray for you, as I was the same, when I was younger, and
The LORD has Helped me a lot since I met Him, and also left my
former religious bondage - hope this helps:
