Does God ever forsake you?

[biker]

I took hope from this. Thank you biker.

Brother, I just want to encourage you. The difference from where you are at and I am at is I finally climbed my mountain and heading down into my valley. Every mountain is not the same because God has made us all to be individuals and different from one another. He made us to be unique. More than anything else, I want you to know that mountain really is nothing but a small dirt mound. Yes, I made that molehill into a mountain because of who I was. But you don't have to. All you need to do is get up every day, make up your mind you have accepted God as your Savior, and try to become a better person. I urge you to pray all the time. And the beauty is, God can read your mind. So even while you are on this forum, you can be praying to God in your thoughts and HE DOES HEAR YOU! Try to read a few verses every day. You don't have to read chapters and Books right away. Just randomly open your Bible and start reading a couple of verses. Do that every day. Eventually it will make you want to read more and you will. Do not worry about RULES and what this person thinks or that church. They do not know your battles. They have no idea what you're facing. So go at it at your own speed. Trust me, you will get there!

Thank you. I find comfort in you saying I wouldn’t be seeking if I was forsaken.


Thank you so much for answering my questions. God has not given up on you and He has not forsaken you because it is Christ who is pulling at you because if Christ wasn't pulling at you, you wouldn't be on this site asking the questions you are asking. There would be no question in your mind if God has forsaken you and you would know it if He has forsaken you. By the very fact that you are questioning if God has forsaken you tells me that He has not done so.
I believe that God is calling out to you because otherwise you wouldn't be on this site asking the questions you are asking. I to was baptize as a very young child and was compelled by God to reach out to folks like you are doing now as an adult and when I realized that I needed to be baptized again I went to the nearest church and did just that which I have explained to you. When we are children we don't have the knowledge to understand what being baptized is all about. We need to know what we are doing when we get baptized at a very young age and we don't simply because we haven't lived long enough to understand what we are doing. Which is why I wouldn't allow my daughter to get baptized until she was old enough to fully comprehend the meaning and responsibility of being baptized. My best advise for you is to start circulating around to some non denominational churches and allow God to tell you where He wants you to stop and He will let you know where He wants you to stay and attend church saved or not. Then I would be faithful and attend services every week and start studying the Bible or at the very least start reading the New Testament from the beginning to the end and you will find that God will start making certain things/revelations stand out to you. Sooner or later God will let you know if you need to be baptized again. Like I have said before, even though I was baptized as a child God impressed upon me to get baptized again and when I came up out of that water I had a love for everybody that I had never experienced before.
Next you will find that God will be pushing you to get hooked up with some kind of ministry and even if you don't feel the push take part in a ministry, at least check out some of the ministries that appeal to you until you find one that you are comfortable with. If God wants you to move to another ministry He will let you know. Getting yourself plugged into a church family is very important for the walk of all believers.
If you take these first steps then God will bless your efforts to get to know Him better as you take these steps and as you go along in your walk in Christ. As you grow in Christ, Christ will grow in you.
