I'm the poster you are referring to.
I don't know God even though I've been searching for Him for years.
I don't have any peace, happiness, or joy.
My prayers are never answered.
I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
I've been born again.
I've had a full immersion baptism.
I've read and studied the entire Bible at least six times and I pray every morning, day, and night.
The Epistle of First John tells me I'm lost.
God seems trillions of miles away.
I feel dead inside and wish I was never born.
I feel like if I drop dead right now...I'll end up in hell.
What must I do to have a personal relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
Please don't say just ask Him...I've done that hundreds of times without avail.
Help!
