From Islam. Will Christianity be the solution to my dilemma? Please help!
I don't know what is wrong with me honestly. I am a Muslim. I feel empty.
I am abandoned by those whom I call family. Made mistakes and dropped out of school along the way. Been jumping from one friends house to the other.
I have been calling to my creator (if any) to alleviate my situation.
I only want to feel sane, feeling numb as I write.
No empathy, no remorse, no sense of happiness to exciting things.
What have I done wrong to deserve all this.
For the first time in my life grey hair has started coming out of my head at age 25.
I spent hours without knowing what exactly I am doing, or where I am, drifting into what I can't explain.
For the first time I understand why some people embrace atheism.
I have thought of suicide but too weak to even carry it out.
I silently pray for death yet here I remain in this forsaken world.
I don't even have a place I call home now, talkless of purpose.
I first posted this on this site but people there didn't take it serious.
Been feeding with friends help and some of the little tasks online for cash like blogging here.
If you have anything soothing for me to read, on Christianity, suicide and life please post it.
I need help. If Christianity is it, then so be it.
All I can tell you is that Jesus is the only One who ever transformed me.
I made that video once when a lot of people were talking about how "great" I was. Basically, I say that I know how wretched I was, and the only reason that anyone would like who I am now is that Jesus forever changed me.
Thanks @papa-pepper. I see genuine turnaround in your composure and I believe I'll have and experience that. Find that inner peace and be useful to myself and others likewise God-fearing. I have started talks with a local priest in my village here and he has gave me some materials and open door for me to go to him anytime I have a question beside the sessions we've agreed to meet each Thursday.
I believe one day I'll be able to say I haven't always been like this and there's a reason and all you guys will be part of the reason. Thanks.
Hey brother don't feel empty
as a brother i suggest you please read holy book Quran with translate in your language one time inshaallah you will get everything from holy book Quraandon't feel weakness and empty your very strong
May allah give you peace.
I believe you are at a turning point in life. Something has caused you to question your faith and now you are seeking another alternative. Christianity is that solution.
It is more than a religion. You don't need to work your way into heaven or do certain things. All you need to do is believe in Jesus and that He is more than a profit. You must believe that He is your savior.
If you are interested, The Case For Christ is an amazing story you would enjoy. There is a book and a movie. It is about a man who questioned everything and came up with a solution that resulted in Christianity.
I'd be happy to communicate more with you. Please comment on my posts if you have any other questions. The Word of God is alive and active. It is going to do great work in you.
Okay, will keep you posted. Thanks.
That's great!
Here is an interesting short video, check it out!
Thanks @daveks. I appreciate it.
Hi @oladokun, I feel for you my friend. I want to share with you the story of my friend @msg768. You can read his story here. Have a read. I think he has experienced similar things as you, with the emptiness and pain, and coming from a Muslim background. @msg768 is also on Steemit.
Thanks @nextgen622. I read his story and I am happy for him. And he's lucky to have went to Australia a more liberal society than his. And it is the second problem and fear here. The stigma and persecution from people is what is stopping people from opening up.
Thanks.
Yes true, fear of persecution and stigma is what holds some back, but God is real and I can honestly say that Jesus is worth it! Jesus has completely transformed my life and given me hope and purpose. I will be praying for you my friend.
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.
I'm sorry you are going through this...I don't have the answers for you because I am a christian who is struggling as well. All I can say is keep seeking and don't give up. I will resteem your post though, and hopefully someone with more answers can help you. Much love.❤
Thanks. I appreciate your kind words.
Hi, @oladokun. May I suggest that you go to church nearest to you, and talk to a priest about it.
You might also want to post here @steemchurch, and maybe they can help you.
And may God Guide you towards the peace of mind, heart, and soul that you seek.
Thank you. I've tag them. And about visiting a priest nearby, I'll love to though fear the outcome, persecution and all. I hope anyone I meet physically would be open and encouraging as you guys here. Thanks
Dear @oladokun,
I have just posted a teaching from the New Testament Book of Hebrews that I believe will help you in your quest to fill the emptiness that you are feeling and start you on your journey to mental, emotional and spiritual healing.

Here are a number of testimonies by Muslims who became Christians

Sorry testimonies like this I don't believe can solve or fill the void in me. I mean if you read then what after that?
Hahahah
You don't know anything about islam there are million people everyday accepting islam brother
Hey there. I was raised Muslim as well. I used to wanna take my own life too. All I can tell you is that life is difficult and there's not an easy way out. Suicide isn't the solution either because you don't really know what awaits you after death, do you? Don't look for answers in others because humans are fallible and you're a human too. If you want answers, go to God directly but before you do that, make sure you're ready to hear what God has to say. All the best.
Thanks bro. I am still and looking inwardly I may say. The suicide thoughts are subsiding though I have to admit I still feel like why don't a fast moving car just jam me like that so it'll seem all natural and stuff.
