Hi all,

I am just returning to my faith after turning my back on god 5 years ago. I regret turning my back on him and I am fully committed to building a strong relationship with him. I hope that this forum will be able to help me on my journey towards a stronger faith.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Olivia xx

Hello Olivia;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here. I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music? Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Praise and Worship Music

Welcome back Olivia!

If you are serious about sticking with your faith this time, I would suggest you find a good mentor. (or 2) Someone you can call with questions, who will encourage you when you struggle and give you prayer and material support; and will keep you honest in your seeking HIM.

My wife and I are now on the downside of mentoring a woman who had taken a 20 year "vacation" from following the Lord. She is now stable enough to walk on her own but had a rough go of it for a while. I am convinced that without our support she would have drifted right back out into the world.

Thank you for you advice Dave, I have started attending the Christian union at university and going to the alpha project as well as worship on a Thursday. I am hoping that I will be able to find a mentor through attending these groups.

Welcome to CF, Olivia! We're glad you're here! (Just keep in mind that this is an open forum, and even though most of us will be more than happy to encourage you in your steps back to faith, there are some here who just want to argue. Try not to take them to heart. ;)

Blessings to you!

Welcome to the forum, Olivia. It’s wonderful to read that God has drawn you back to Himself. His grace is what brings us to Him in the first place, but it’s also evident in the way He holds us and keeps us when we wander. Sending prayers for you, that the Lord will continue to strengthen your faith as you look to Him in the coming days. Blessings!
