I am a 27 year old female in Tennessee and I need to be saved. I was raised southern baptist in southern Ky and the church my family was a member of was not a very good church. Well, it was really the people who "ruled" the church. The preacher and his brother a co-pastor were not good people, they did not live the word, there was adultry with members of the church and people of certain tax brackets weren't really welcome, and I will leave it at that. So my view of church and religion really changed. I feel I am more spiratual than religious and I do not attend church(and might never again) and I feel like my relationship with God has suffered because of that. Going so many years without chuch as left me feeling disconnected with God. I speak with God and I pray and I read the scripture and I try to lead a good life but I desperatly need a stronger relationship with God. I feel as if I talk and talk and pray and pray but God never listens or responds. I try to listen with my heart but I feel as if I have been forgotten. God never answers. I know that God know no time and the answer to your prayers are not always yes but I never get any response. I need guidance from the Lord, I want to feel loved by the Lord. I feel empty because I do not have this. I need prayer so that I can realize what my purpose is. Please pray that I can strenghten my relationship and that I can find the guidance I need in the scripture.
Thankyou

Hey girl! i'm in tennessee too. Perry county. But i just moved to TN from CT 8 months ago. Mainly because in our last church my husbands little sister was raped by the youth pastor. The church was good but Satan attacked it. this caused my husband to have many problems with his relationship with God. But just keep praying that God will deliver you from your past hurt. And try to go to church. There are so many good churchs don't let satan convince you that all churches are like your old church. just like how my husband has to try to remember that not all youth pastors are like the man who raped his little sister. Try to go to a church...if you live near me you could try out mine! its really good and against those things that have hurt you in the past. i understand not wanting to be relgious but spiritual. thats how my husband and i are also. But as i said try to go to church and i'm sure that after time you will be delivered from the pain these people at your old church caused you and you will have a relationshipwith God again.
love, prayers, and blessings

I must confess that I too am not attending church. I have had so many bad experiences with churches in my past. I keep hearing that all churches arent "bad". I was raised Catholic, but have since tried out many Evangelical Churches. Now that I am raising my twin toddlers as a single mom, I find it hard to attend once again. I have moved across the country and have found a nice Baptist Church. Please pray that I can get myself and twins ready to attend and that I get sleep throughout the night so I am not sooo tired. I guess fighting fatigue and depression (husband leaving me) doesnt help. God knows my heart and I am a stronger Christian than I ever have been and am now Saved. I have grown close with God, but I agree something is missing. I need to get to Church. I saw this on a license plate and it made me giggle, but its true...."God wants us to be Spiritual Fruits, not Religious Nuts." Anyways, I will pray for you and I that we both can overcome this and get settled in a church that we feel very welcomed in and that we feel Gods holy presence. Take Care. (((hugs))) Micki
