Technically you both stole from me. lol, anyway. Just felt like being a pain.

I too am a convert for about the same amount of time. My first thought is that Christ is always at work in anything righteous. He makes intercession for us, and I believe prayer is one of the major outlets. To me, saying it in His name is significant. It is declaring that you are asking, praising, or any other action you might do in prayer, according to your faith in Christ and by virtue of His blood you seek for that power to be manifest therein. There are other promises linked to this, I encourage you to study it out as much as you can. :) Hope that helps a little.

What a lovely post. You express yourself beautifully. I wish you peace as well. Elphaba Thank you! *smiles*

I appreciate all the posts and effort everyone has exerted. I thought I'd give you an update. I've firmly decided to walk in the ways of Christ, even by the power and covenants fully extant in His true Church. Several parts of my life were in disharmony with Him and His teachings. Firstly, the desire to be faithful and believing was in my heart waiting for me to act on it. My thirst for truth wasn't ill-placed, I was just searching it out in an entirely contrary manner to the Father's will. I convinced myself that I needed to find the truth in a different way however truth is truth and the eternal laws of finding it have not changed. Therefore, this is where I did greatly err and allowed falsehood to enter in. In all honesty, my testimony of the truthfulness of this Church and of the Savior's love for me is quite strengthened in and through this experience. Thanks to all who have offered support and advice, as well as prayer and love. Peace be unto each of you.

I hope you're joking.

Ah, okay, cool.

Lynnwood, you?

Thank you. I'll ponder on these things.

When I pray it feels wrong to think about Father and Son separately. I don't know which to pray to and I end up not being able to pray at all. I desire to know and yet no answer comes.

I believed it was true. I didn't have doubts about the church. I thought about those things you've brought up before. Right now I'm in so much turmoil. I do desire to know, with all my heart.

Hey all. I'm really confused right now. I just don't feel that this is the true church, not sure if I ever did. I joined a little over two years ago, and I feel I've put an insane amount of effort into gaining testimonies, yet I can pray about a different church and get the same feelings. I'm seriously thinking of leaving the church. Help?
