Seeking peace

Postby erin0008 » Sun Apr 26, 2015 9:54 pm

Hello.
I'm here because I want to believe there is hope for me. Maybe talking with other people who have depression will help me realize that joy is waiting for me if only I would participate in my life.

In an effort to develop my spirituality, I, an atheist, have started reading the Bible. I have seen Christianity help people in recovery live more peaceful and purposeful lives, and I want that too! I'm a nonbeliever seeking God, and for some reason I'm embarrassed about that.

Hi Erin. I have been a Catholic my whole life, although have moved away from my faith from time to time. I'm struggling a little right now, I believe due to the depression, negativity that I am going through, however, I believe you are on the right track. I started reading the Bible several years ago... a little bit at a time.... It took me about 10 years to get through it.... but it is amazing if you stay with it. God will speak to you through it I believe. I am a huge Jesus fan. He is wonderful along with the Father and Holy Spirit. I'll pray for you as you progress 'home'. with Love, T33.
