I have grown up in a christian home and attend church with my family. But when I am dealing with so many emotions and problems in my life, I find it hard to pray. I know that prayer is going to help me, but I find it so hard to do. I have grown close to many friends from my youth group and different youth retreats I have been on, which has helped me greatly. I guess I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this same thing?
A close friend spoke to me one day and told me that unless I can forgive myself, I will not be able to love anyone else, especially God. I know that God forgives me for everything, but it's forgiving myself and letting go of my past mistakes that I am trying to work on.
Thank you to anyone who responds to my post. I appreciate it.
