I just asked Jesus

[mamatoady]

into my heart.

I have been struggling and struggling and tonight it feels so right. I learned that I can write my prayers to God (because I have crazy ADD that makes it hard for me to think and talk when I'm overwhelmed. Writing my letters to God while I'm feeling and thinking is the answer for me.

I feel spacey now. I feel sad and happy and filled and empty. I don't yet know where to go from here. It's plenty time for me to go to sleep now...Perhaps I will just fall asleep with prayers in my heart.

Awesome to hear you've accepted Christ! Keeping you in my prayers and hoping you'll be a strong Christian. Keep holding on, it's tough but God will not let us go through anything we cannot handle.

That sounds wonderful. That floaty content feeling seems to me like you were just communicating with your higher power. Then I wonder if there is a spiritual practice you can do with the papers if it's in a notebook you can keep it with you or you don't need on. You can write on anything you can find too. I'm just glad to hear you found your voice so to speak. Amen!

That is a wonderful thing to do, wake up with prayers, talk to him like a friend and remember that you have many friends here

Begin to read the bible (the new testament first) and try to find a good church that will love you and help you.

Dear mamatoady. With Jesus in your heart, you will never feel lonely, and will have love for all you know and all you meet. I say this with love. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

As a newb, I don't mean to rock the boat...but is there a verse in the Bible that talks about asking Jesus into your heart?

 

[Peripatetic]

I'm so glad that your path has lead you to God. It's the best place to be!

With Jesus in your heart, you will never feel lonely

I would change this wording slightly... you may still sometimes feel lonely, but you will never be alone. Sometimes even the most mature Christian will feel distance from God, as well as times of sadness and frustration. It is important to remember that negative feelings do not mean that God isn't there. Life still has ups and downs, but our faith can act as an anchor... a source of joy and a place to hold on in life's hardest times.
