For a better version

I let go 2023 with everything I could by attending church instead being depressed and crying over something I can’t control anymore and being able to talk what I’m dealing with my anxiety on here has given me support long the way even tho it’s hasn’t been long since I join but the supportive and positive response have helped me which has brought me into 2024 in a different level of myself yes I’m still struggling but it’s definitely a process

It is a process Need2be...one that doesn't come overnight because it took longer

than that to get where you are today. Taking that first step forward is a win in my

eyes. May 2024 be your year in seeing the sun shine once more xx

Having faith beyond ourselves will change your life. Our God loves us and embraces us when we make ourselves available through prayer, study and fellowship. We are whole persons so feeding our bodies healthfully with good things, being active and getting enough sleep our also like answers to prayer and He will help you with the asking.

That is wonderful that a church community helped you deal with depression! Had you been going to the same church before, or did you find a new church community more recently? When I was younger, I was part of a Roman Catholic faith community and I found it very helpful and I am sad that I don't feel like I can be part of that community any more. (Number of factors pushed me away, but the widespread coverup up of sexual abuse with the concomitant church condemnation of homosexuality was the end for me.) I have been trying to find a other church community and would be grateful if you had a y suggestions. I hope your progress continues this year!

I been raised Baptist since I was kid and I went back going to the church I was attending 11 years ago but stop going after I got married then went back few times on n off but this time I need keep it like I was before dedicating my time in God services unfortunately yes we have different religions and opinions on Catholic.dont take me wrong half of my family are catholics honestly I use to accept different invitation to attend churches but I always pray to lead me to the right church community and feel the praise of Jesus in it why I stayed at my church! Hopefully you find something and you progress as well!
