[QUOTE="PloverWing, post: 76863528, member: 307356"] Do you have a Christian community that you're part of? A church, or a supportive Bible study group, something like that? I'm a little worried that you're sitting alone in your room with your Bible, trying to feel the right feelings about stuff, and trying to understand Christianity all on your own. Some Christian communities are toxic, and some are wonderfully supportive, so be cautious as you seek out a community. But a good Christian community can give you strength and courage and hope. Are you feeling today like you can't pray? They can pray for you. Are you feeling alone in your struggles? Some of them have had the same struggles, and can share their stories. Are there things you don't understand about the Christian faith? They can share their understandings with you. There have been lots of Sunday mornings when I didn't feel anything -- not joy, not guilt, just kind of groggy bleh -- but I wanted to worship God, so I went to church, and we prayed together and sang together and shared the Eucharist. I still maybe wasn't feeling anything that day, because feelings come and go, but I gathered with my fellow Christians and together we made an offering to God. You don't have to be alone in your spiritual journey. [/QUOTE]
