There comes a point where I've just got to accept it. I am a Christian. I have fought it valiantly for years. I have applied logic to it. I have done everything within my power to not be a Christian. I have studied every other religion and none. I have declared myself a host of different things. To no avail. I guess I wanted to believe a) That I could do things on my own and b) I was afraid people would laugh or mock me if they knew I believed in God and particularly Jesus Christ. I have just prayed to God repenting of former actions/behaviours and asked to be forgiven by Him. I immediately feel a sense of peace, something which has been missing from my life for a very long time. I feel His presence here right now. I feel I am a part of something greater. I feel Him. I believe and it's great to be here. I have found a local church and I shall attend this coming Sunday. Thanks for listening.

Thats a great read mate. I too was once an athiest (a hardcore one too), I used to hate anything to do with faith! It is amazing the ways in which God brings us to him! I wish you all the best for attending church on Sunday!

Thank you @RitzyPETE123. I have always believed, this is what is crazy. I attended church for years, was baptized in a river 10 years ago and Christened as an infant. Always, I felt Him calling me back into the fold. I was arrogant, I didn't want to know.

It's been a funny old day. I really felt the Devil trying to get in to drag me back to my old life of fapping and time-wasting, however, I called out to Him for protection. I then prayed and I feel His presence strong and insurmountable beside me.

Just think of how Job felt when he was being tempted so much to denounce God all the way through his suffering, even by his own family!

Mr. Blah
Great story Living Recovery. I'm touched because not too long i strayed away from His teachings and I lost my faith. But I'm happy to say that I'm a firm believer in Christ and I've changed my ways because of him.
