It's only human to stray from G.od at some point or the other. I became a believer at ten and for a couple months this year I thought I was done. In my opinion, and I think you touched on this, Go.d doesn't want religion from us. He wants a relationship through his son, who died a painful death and went to he.ll to pay for our sins. It's about a relationship that's real and personal, and forgiving, no matter how many times you lose your way. Just try pra.ying every day, even though at first it might seem like you're talking to the wall or talking to yourself or something. Talk to mature Chris.tians about what you're going through- they'll want to listen. And, read your bible, particularly the new testament. Look at what Jes.us said and what he meant by it. But personally, what helped me a lot was listening to Chris.tian music.

Here are my favorites. They're both compelling and comforting.

By your side- tenth avenue north

How he loves- David Crowder band

Hope this helps in some way or another. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if you need to talk about anything! :)
