Hi everyone.
I joined this site to find some fellowship, and just to really get into my faith again. I have strayed and I just don't where to start, or how to come back to God.
Reading my bible has lost it's luster and my prayers are basically nonexistent now. Pretty much, my relationship with the Lord is strained a lot at the moment. I'm afraid because I've never really left him for so long and I know what I'm doing now isn't what I should be.

I do want to start following him again so, if you guys could keep me in your prayers that would be great. Maybe direct me to a few threads you've found helpful, or inspiring here.

A while ago, I began learning that the next step in my relationship with God was to give it ALL to him, and not just praying and trying to obey the commandments. I think that's what made me reject him, actually. I was scared to let him take control, and I ran away. Only, like Jonah, you can't really run away, can you? But I tried. Kinda pointless. I know what I need to do, but, once again, I don't know how. I'm determined to get back on the right track, though.

Thanks again,
Desiree, a.k.a: Faith
 
Welcome! :waving

At this point in time, I would suggest you dig into the Word of God, that is really going to help you :thumbsup

I was a Jonah. I know what you're going through. Small baby steps will help you get back on track.

Hi, the way to start is to go back to the Bible, the central theme of which is the Lord Jesus and His sin atoning death, and be prepared to pursue 'the obedience of faith', as Paul says.

God bless your reading of His Word!
 
Hey, Faith.

Welcome to the Christian Forums. Try not to feels so bad about straying from the Lord; just go back. Even when we aren't faithful, He is--because He is God, and He understands human frailty better than anyone.

Sometimes I slack off on Bible reading, too. I find that its good to read shorter books in the Bible, such as Esther or some of the minor prophets. You'll find inspiration, renew your faith, and it won't be as daunting as taking on some of the larger parts of the Bible.
