Introduction ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

Being a Christian isn’t always easy.

As a naturally stressed person, doing the wrong things or making the wrong choices in my faith life can sometimes be difficult.

Also, being alone, with no family or friends to help me with my questions, is very difficult for my spiritual growth.

I felt misunderstood and alone, but God listened to me all the time and always answered my questions.

2 aspects had a big impact on me, and even on other aspects of my life: being alone in my faith and being afraid of making the wrong choices. 

What if I’m wrong? Fear of going against God’s plan

When I was younger, my family never spoke to me about God. Faith had no place in our daily lives. So when I discovered God for myself, i didn’t know but I was entering a totally new world, with no guides, no landmarks. I had TikTok, and ChatGPT, but they were neither personal and not really adapted to what I was going through.

Believing in God when no one around you believes is a scary choice. I was afraid of being judged by my family, that they wouldn’t understand my faith. And in my group of friends, I was the only Christian

Under these conditions, it was very difficult not to doubt. It was hard to believe that I was on the right path. But despite everything, I realised that God had never abandoned me.

Even today, my faith continues to grow, even in the face of incomprehension.

Alone in my faith, what i’m supposed to do…

As I said before, I didn’t know any other Christians.

It’s not just a question of different beliefs – it’s a lifestyle, a hope, a way of thinking and loving that can seem strange to others.

I often find myself walking against the tide, making choices that no one understands, carrying values that some people question or mock.

There can be moments of discouragement, of silence when I’d like to share what God is doing in my life, but I don’t feel that this is the right place, the right time, or the right people.

Sometimes I wonder if I will last, if my faith will resist the temptation of indifference, of criticism, or simply of loneliness.
