Policy question

If I am having a problem with my faith -- struggling with my faith -- am I allowed to post here? I don't want to violate any forum rules.

I'm not a moderator and have no authority to make decisions but we're brothers and part of the Christian family.
We who post on this board should be kind and respectful, displaying Christ's love to others, but often that is not evidenced in our posts.
Many biblical people struggled with their faith; life's hard and messed up.
Don't be discouraged, guard the faith you have.

~Be mindful of what you post, minimize personal information, an open posting board is probably not the best place to share personal feelings: what's posted here is forever.
~Value the faith you have, guard it, grow it. God is patient and kind.
~Pray your thoughts to God
~Read God's word, most of the psalms were written by people having similar struggles.
~Search out a mature Christian you can trust and share your thoughts - they've had such struggles too.

Are you currently attending a church?
Are you able to discuss this situation with your pastor?
If not is there a pastor of another church you could seek out.
And yes, Deacon gave you excellent advice

I've not attended church regularly since Covid. The church I was going to then had its pastor retire and move; I was close with him -- a great guy. I visited a church recently but didn't return there. I really have nobody presently.
