I don't know what to do
Most of my life I was raised Catholic, but my family was never practicing. I wondered what was right until now. I was saved by Jesus Christ at age nine. I was always told what was right and what was wrong, especially with religion. I was told that being a Christian was right but then I was told it was not the correct religion. All I know it's the relationship with Jesus, even now I am told what is the right religion.
Then last March my mother stopped going to the Christian church we went to after a bad fight with my aunt.Then her brother told her to go to her church, which was Catholic, I was told that was the right religion. My family confused me with it, I wondered why my family would make something so beautiful into something that would cause fights between us.I don't know what to do anymore and have strayed from God. I want to know what is right but I don't know if I ever will.

It's only human to stray from G.od at some point or the other. I became a believer at ten and for a couple months this year I thought I was done. In my opinion, and I think you touched on this, Go.d doesn't want religion from us. He wants a relationship through his son, who died a painful death and went to he.ll to pay for our sins. It's about a relationship that's real and personal, and forgiving, no matter how many times you lose your way. Just try pra.ying every day, even though at first it might seem like you're talking to the wall or talking to yourself or something. Talk to mature Chris.tians about what you're going through- they'll want to listen. And, read your bible, particularly the new testament. Look at what Jes.us said and what he meant by it. But personally, what helped me a lot was listening to Chris.tian music.
Here are my favorites. They're both compelling and comforting.
