Hey, I'm from England
Just came accross this whilst browsing the internet, seems like a really helpful place for me!
I'm 16 now and for about 15 years of my life I was absolutely convinced that God didn't exist but about a year ago I began to doubt my atheism. I don't really know why. My friend told me she was praying for me at this time so maybe this is the reason. Anyway, I was discussing this with the same friend and she suggested to me that I try praying - and so I did. I remember digging out my bible, that I hadn't picked up since I was about 5, and flipping it open to a random page. I opened it at Isaiah 55, which was entitled 'a call to faith' in my bible and when I read it I felt so happy and certain God was helping me. Since then I've been going to a youth group at a church near me and I'm trying to grow closer to God.
I still have doubts, which I hate, but they're getting less often and my times of certianty are much stronger.
.
Anyway, thanks so much for reading this and hello!
