Hello everyone, I'm Michael. I joined this site because I'm going through an incredibly difficult period of my life, and despite never really even believing in God before, I swear I feel Him at my lowest. I'm hoping to receive help and advice from the members of this site, as well as peace and acceptance from God. Thanks everyone.

Welcome, Michael.
I am sorry to know you are going through a very difficult time. May the Lord's help be with you every step of the way.
In my case, God really had to put me flat on my back for me to realize I needed Jesus. I was too proud and self righteous.
You don't have to wait for God's acceptance. You are already accepted when:
A person declares with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead.
No sin, no mistake, no situation, no oppression, no temptation, no nothing is beyond the power of our mighty God. Sometimes He sends breakthroughs soon, and sometimes He wants us to go through a process. We only need to trust Him by making the decision that we will lean on His understanding and not on ours, and we ask for His grace to do it.
Our Heavenly Father, wonderful Lord Jesus, and mighty Holy Spirit are faithful.
God is faithful, merciful, gracious, slow to anger, quick to forgive, steadfast in love and more. He has you in the Palm of His Hands. He loves you.
Jeremiah 10:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Romans 10:
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
