Trying to come back to God

[Shaun]

Hey, everyone. I have been struggling with my own issues, and I come to you today with a prayer request. I have been living nearly the last year as an atheist after a couple of years of questioning Christ and Christianity. I am trying very hard to give myself to Him and come home where I belong. I still feel very lost and troubled, and I know I have a long journey ahead of me.

 Please pray for me (and my family) as I try to right the wrongs I have caused for both them and myself in the dark hours I have led. Thanks very much for taking the time to read this. I appreciate each of you.

Regards,
-Shaun

I prayed for you. I understand where you are coming from; I definately struggled with Christianity in my past. Christ is enough.

I don't even know you, but Jesus loves you, and that's enough for me.

After becoming a Christian at an early age, I also went through a time when I was a teenager when I became an Atheist for a while.  God was patient with me and thankfully led me back to Himself, and I've been walking with Him for the last 20 years since then.

I will pray for you as you journey through these difficult times, and if you would like to talk more please feel free to PM me

As evidenced by the thief on the cross, it's never too late to get right with God. I pray that God will help you in your efforts to "right the wrongs."

I share your name and I have always loved its meaning: God is gracious.  I and my wife are praying for you.

[MrMiYoda]

All my prayers for you.  God never abandons those who have loved God even once.  Be at peace.  Persevere!

ps -- If it helps to make you feel better, please pray for me and your Redemption boards family a few seconds a day.

i hope this quote of mine from a testimony helps you out.

and i quote

It started when i had a girlfriend and she left me to get with my forner best friend and someone as close to me as a brother but that's off topic. after 2 weeks of being single on the 2nd friday i was going for internship, i started to feel like i was absolutely useless and i could tell The Devil was on the prowl and had me right where he wanted me and kept on throwing words of discouragement and depression right at me and i didn't have the sense or the strength to defend myself and at the end of the day my dad came and picked me up and on the road the attacks at me from Satan continued and in tears i cried out to God in my mind and my heart out of despiration and weakness and i prayed to God with tears flowing and it did not take long for God to answer.
I heard him im my mind and my heart and he said gently "Andy, trust in me, and everything will be alright" and i faithfully said "Yes Lord, i do trust you with all my heart" and that wasn't the last time i heard from him because he reached out to me and gave me a task to do which was not too difficult at all. he said to me gently yet firm "Go to church on sunday" and i in faith replied "Yes Lord" that very sunday i witnessed a mircale right before my very ears. God was using the pastor that day to speak to me and told me about and revealed to me that the devil was making me feel useless and i did have a grudge against my former best friend and my ex girlfriend and after that, i forgave them for what they did and asked for a copy of the sermon after church and someone on the tech team at my church handed me a copy of the sermon on CD and the sermon was titled "God heals hidden wounds" that weekend i will NEVER forget.

God be praised and bless him for he is and will forever be just and good and glory be to him that created the heavens and the earth when the earth was void and without form

end quote. this event that happened with me helped me realize that God is always there and he is REAL in my life and i hope that my testimony of a godly experience helps you come to know God more in faith in Jesus Christ
