I'm lost

No other way to put it.

Im 37 and have been struggling for a while with finding truth within the religions I have
met in my life so far. I have had positive experiences, and negative ones, but only the
personal ones have ever impacted my relationship with Christ and God, and even that
was my fault for not having enough faith to believe.

When I say a while, I have been actively seeking a path that rings true since I was 12. I have
attended many different denominations for prolonged periods before discovering they
weren't what my heart and soul are looking for. Perhaps someone out there can help me.

I am not asking for a faith that suits my conveniences, Im aware that isn't how it works. I am
not asking which is better than the other, that isn't how a true faith works. I am asking
for some prayer and guidance. I hope to be able to find some fellowship here, and maybe
feel less lost at sea on my journey to finding my way back to God.

I am unsure what to do or where to go from here.
 
Hi RobinR,

Are you a Chrisitan who is trying to figure out which demoniniation of Chrisitainity works best for you or have you tried many different types of religions and are trying to figure out if Chrisitianity is the religion for you?

I too welcome you Robin, :)

When my "heart and soul" began to search I looked in many places. I was hungry and looked at all the television programs, read lots of books but before long realized I wasn't truly learning. I found one place that taught His Word chapter by chapter and then...I began to learn.

I'm glad you are with us.
 
Hi

Thanks for the welcome.

To clarify, I am not looking for a church that suits my needs per se, that isn't how things
work - Id be foolish to assume God is supposed to provide me with a Church who's structure
satisfies my wants and needs. What I am looking for are answers to where I go from here.

I have read the scriptures on my own several times. It is fascinating to me how many
different things I learn each time I read the same chapter or verse, and how much
new information is shown to me. I also know that Christ is my missed connection. I don't
claim to be an expert or even an amateur. All I claim is that I know what I am missing out
on and don't have any idea how to fix that.

Truthfully I have no idea how to PRAY. Isn't that terrible? I have been praying to God
semi regularly, but realised I have been neglecting to worship Christ or pray to him as
well.. I think that is something critical I need to remedy, but I have no idea how to start.
I feel like I have been ignoring one of the key elements to getting back onto the path I
need to be on, and have truly no idea how to apologise for this mistake, or how to
fix it. Am I over reacting? Over thinking?

I will be poking through some of the posts here, and seeing if there is anything out there
that could help guide me towards the questions I should be asking and answers I need. I
appreciate the welcome.. Thank you all :)
 
Welcome to the site, hope you fine your answers, for me it's easy... JESUS.... put your faith and trust in Him first. The folks around here are a pretty cool bunch of people,, hope to see you around the threads..
 
Robin, these two posts of yours could have been written by myself, at places word for word. I sometimes share the same sort of feeling of being lost. Funny. It's not really being lost, it's more like "feeling being lost", isn't it? There's a difference  if we were really lost, we wouldn't know it! I'm pretty sure you don't feel the same every day. It varies. There are darker moments, there are brighter ones.

You wrote this sentence, "Truthfully I have no idea how to PRAY."  What are those two posts, if not prayer?
 
Hi Robin, I read your post and indeed will keep you in my prayers. I too had a very hard time finding my path and actually I was blessed with my path finding me, in a dream. My relationship with the lord was strengthend by reading the Bible as often as possible. Everyones relationship with the lord is unique and I assure you God will lead you to your path in his sweet perfect timing if you simply ask. God loves you and if you hand over your life to him he will always steer you in the right direction, If you let him.
