Hi everyone, I feel so lost and overwhelmed. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel like there is so much going on with social media and I just can't escape any of it. I want to try going to church but I don't want to be disrespectful. There are several near me and I'm not sure how to approach it because there are so many denominations and my parents brought me up atheist. I'm not even sure if this is the right path for me but I would like to try. Thanks for any replies.

It's a struggle for seekers Mica. Be assured, your desires are not falling on deaf ears or blind eyes. Jesus tells us all who seek will find, all who knock, it will be opened to them and to all who ask it will be given.
Be patient and don't allow the mainstream who couldn't care, drag you along with its parade.
You are loved; something you have yet to discover!

Just show up Sunday morning.

Talk to people there about Jesus.

Then take a Bible home and read about Jesus. You can start with the John or Luke's Gospels.

And you can talk to us about Jesus too.

Welcome Mica!

The world is full of lost people all taking that first step (hopefully) in their own time. Perhaps your coming here is your first step. That's good, you're on the right track.

Even so, this forum too, is also a place with many denominations, and opinions, and often claims, many of which are only conjecture--people voicing what they may or may not actually understand. It is good that you are here, and it would also be good for you to go to church. But your real need is not so much our fellowship, but God's. We can try to offer help, but it is only He who can make it happen. So beware of the rabbit holes here or in church, made by well-meaning people. Meanwhile get your hands on a Bible and start reading--it is a collection of writings inspired by God, which makes it His word rather than that of just well-meaning people. He alone has actually had control of what is written their--history is more His story than it is ours, and He alone has providence over His word which is given as our guide.

And relax. If you are sincere about seeking God--He will guide your steps.

All the best to you!
