I begun to learn truly about christ 4 years ago because a very wise chatolic person I've met in internet showed me a more mature and historical view of christianism.

I was a kind paganist-ocultist-christian mix in the past. Yeah, I know, this may look bizarrely impossible but here in my country this is actually super common. But even with me living totally wrong I never undestood the growing hate the left atheist, media and etc have for Jesus. I uderstood that there are a lot of evil, corrupt and fake churches but why they hate him especially never made sense to me; I mean, if there is someone who didnt deserve being hated was Jesus. I guess this was the mainly reason I started to ask for questions until things started to make sense to me.

The thing is, I accepeted Jesus and my conviction grew strong, but... I noticed that I haven't prayed a single time and I started to feel a lot of desire to do wrong things than before and follow bad influences that I had in my workplace. In fact I did even more wrong things, and sometimes when I was at peace reading the bible or thinking about God my mind started to remember me about the wrong things I did or the injustices I had suffered and then I become sudenly angry and this kind of thoughts cross my mind "my own justice is better" "I would judge better than God" ''I will follow my own will".

when I am alone I can calm down and see how wrong and evil this kind of thoughts are. But when something bad happens to me or someone commits an injustice against me, I totally blame God and try to apply my own ''''justice''''. Sometimes I can control this and do the right thing, others, I succumb to angry and do something I would regreat later. Because even when I succeed in revenge, it gaves me nothing but a feeling of void and guilty.

I tried to search up for churches in my town but the only ones that I've found are evangelic cults who try to take money from people and a catholic church in which the last time I went there to pray there was a lot of noisy and laughs and my disgust for the catholic church just increased(I have some problems with this very institution and some people despite the fact I am baptized and it was chatolic guy who showed me the way but this is not the point)
In fact, I have found much more kind and will to help others genuinely in spiritists than the chatolics I have met in my city.

Im currently reading orthodox works and I feel much more conected to it than the other branchs of christianism, but there is no orthodox church nerby. I feel like I need a right spiritual guidance, I know I can't do it on my own but there is no alternative for me where I live, what should I do?

Sorry for this being too long.

Prayer is not somehing which we need to do a particular way! It's just talking to God, be yourself and talk to God just as you are. Talk to Him about all the things that concern you. In time, He will change you and do good things for you. Ask Him to find you the right church for you and leave the rest to Him.
