[__ Prayer __] Help me come back to God with prayer

[Tys]

I am a 26 year old man. I my whole life have never doubted Jesus Christ. My life has been many problems followed by the next. I grew up christian but am falling away. Maybe from anger. Maybe because I don't know if I believe anymore. I do not know why preachers make me angry. Christian music annoys me. I have a high dis taste for christianity. I have no idea what is going on. Christians constantly question me on a daily basis to the point I now began to hate them. I as well now doubt God because of how they behave to me. I am scared what is happening. I want to love God once again. I want to make God a rock of a foundation in my home. It is hard. Especially when it all makes me angry and christian people always question me. I have a fear God will send more tragedy to humble me more than I already am. I lost my parents extremely young. I have 0 family. My in laws and their family constantly preach at me and attack me

Hi Tys.

We need to look up, first of all, rather than at folk who may annoy us. A Bible reading habit daily is a great start. John's Gospel would be good to read. When you get to John 3.16, think about it carefully.

God bless your reading of His Word, Tys! great to see you here.

Hi Tys,

As I have struggled recently in my walk with God, I've found there is an approach that I use to keep me on the straight and narrow. Although I take this approach, I do believe that God is working in all our circumstances. If we don't understand what God is doing, or we find ourselves with a hard heart, I think we should try to keep in mind that God is good, and He always does what is right because He is holy. Within His holiness lies mercy, justice, and love. So, no matter what happens in life, we must trust in these attributes of God. This is what I do. I try my best to face what I am in truth. How do I behave? Do I obey God? Do I love Him above all else? How do I treat others? Do I care only for myself? When the mountain of guilt leaves me no room to say to God, 'I'm a good person,' and proves that I am a wretched man, then I turn to the Scriptures to find the promises of God. God suffered more than any of us have when He lived on the earth, and died for sinners. Am I a sinner? Yes. Then I know that Jesus died for me. When I see myself in truth, then Jesus becomes precious to me. It doesn't matter how bad I've been. When I look for God for mercy, I know His promises are true. Why?; because I know Jesus' tomb is empty and there are are so many Christians that have gone before us to witness to the faithfulness of God. It seems the brightest stars have been the ones who have suffered the most, ironically. As you study your Bible and learn what sin is, then don't hide them, but always be honest to God about them, and you will see that God is so much more powerful than your sin, and He promises to forgive you. You can trust that.

You should know who John Newton is. From my understanding when he was ready to die, this is what he said, "“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.”

I hope you'll be encouraged. Find sincere Christians. We need each other.

Maybe you want a real relationship with God, a real encounter with Jesus, but don't like 'religion' or a religious kind of life, or a hypocritical kind of life.

Concentrate on fellowship with Jesus and worship. Totally give yourself to Him. I don't mean try to be like a certain church thinks you should be or certain people, but what God says in His Word.

I'm praying for you

All of us at one time or another had a little doubt in our faith. God constantly lets us go through trials and tribulation, what doesn't kill us he will bring us through stronger. About 4 years ago I was were you were at, just not that into christianity and didn't really care to go to church or not. I started going to a non denominational church. Shortly after he had the church do a 21 day fast. I thought why not what could it hurt. During the fast I felt the doubt falling away and getting closer to God. Now I feel closer to God than I have ever been in my life.
Our prayers are with you to get closer to God to see what he has planed for your life.
