Hello,

My name is Alex. I am not a religous man by all means... I never have. But lately something has been pulling me towards religion. I am confused I guess you could say. Everyday I wonder why everything happens how it does. My life is so upside down right now. All that stupid stuff is just putting me in a downward spiral. I want to start living a better life. I have lost friends over absolutly stupid things. I want to change and I try to change but I can't seem to say no to things that I should be saying no to. In a sense I need help and I hate to say it but when all else fails, do I turn to god? I have not read more than 2 chapters of the bible. Why should I turn to God/Jesus when for so long I have turned him down? You can look at me and turn away. But any explination would be helpful.

Thanks. Confused or disgusted

Hello Alex,

Welcome to the forum.

There are a lot of people here and we all walk different walks. But for the most part we share our thoughts our ideas, hopes and dreams. We laugh, cry, tease eachother and hug eachother.
I consider everyone here on the forum my friend, even if we don't see eye to eye, or agree on any detail whatsoever... Wink

I hope you decide to stick around make some friends.

Hi Alex,
Yours was the first thread I read when I registered a few minutes ago and it made me think of so many people who feel lost and then suddenly find a place where they can find answers for all the questions they are pondering. This seems like the best place to come for help. If you read through the forums, I'm sure you will find a new home that will help you build your faith. I'm not new to bible study, and yet I feel that I learn something new every day about my walk. My favorite quote is: Be patient, God's not through with me yet.
You've crossed the first threshold,,,,admitting that you want change in your life, and I pray that you will find the right path to follow through the fellowship of the friends you find in this study community!!!
