How to start your spiritual or religious journey?

Question

I’m just so tired of being unhappy. I’ve been depressed for as long as I can remember and deal with severe anxiety every day. 
I just want something to look forward to. I want something to believe in. I want a God I can trust and rituals I can rely on. 
I have always been very interested in spirits. I believe in cleansing and and the healing power of sage. And I want to learn more. But I don’t know where to start. 
Does anyone have any advice on how to start your journey?

Answer

Hi! I’ve experienced the same thing, and I have started my journey in Christianity 
A lot of my friends at school looked so happy all the time and I couldn’t wrap my head around why that was, I asked them and they all told me it was god 
I would suggest really finding out what it is you want to gain from religion, and for me it was just a happy full life and so I just got in contact with a lot of Christian friends and asked them to tell me what they knew. For me it was all about the support base I had that really pulled me through and got me to my faith 
I hope this helps

Answer

I’ve stumbled across past life regression where you can cleanse your soul and heal your soul. Many people go in with specific phobias and come out with none. Also, meet and talk to your spirit guides. They are there to guide and help you!

Answer

I suggest looking in to new age religions, since you're comfortable with sage cleansing and are interested in spirits. 
I felt the same way you did, for a long time (even though I was a long time follower of Christ and an extremely devout Christian). 
Eventually though, I just felt the faith wasn't for me. So for about a year I wasn't any religion. Being nothing was so relieving because I could study any religion I wanted without feeling guilty. Then I found Witchcraft. Paganism is a beautiful faith and I felt like I'd found my home. Especially with The Mother. My depression went away . . . for a while. 
Eventually it came back with vengeance. It felt like every pore in my body was screaming in agony. Sheer misery. I went outside and meditated under my favorite old oak tree and asked Her to make it stop. I didn't want to be depressed anymore. I wanted to be happy and I wanted to be Her priestess, to serve and honor Her. And I couldn't do that if I felt like this. 
She made it go away. 
I know that depression is actually an imbalance in your brain, and that you should treat it with medication. But I couldn't afford to, so this was my only real option. To just pray for her help. I also know that there are skeptics who will read this and think about how illogical it is - because an "imaginary" being can't make depression go away. But faith is a powerful thing. It can't fix everything, but it can certainly help. 
Since then, I've had small bouts of depression (nothing major) and during those times I use herbs. St. John's Wart is amazing for curing mild depression. I never would have discovered that, or Her love as a Christian. First I had to get out of the box I was raised in. 
I'm sorry I kind of rambled on a bit. I hope this helps. Good luck in whatever faith you choose :)

Answer

I don’t know if you’re looking for faith in a particular religion or you’re open to finding it anywhere. For me, I was lost and seeking something at the age of 20 and I read about a number of religions to try and understand them. I surprised myself by finding my beliefs and values completely aligned in a religion I had never considered before. I won’t say it was easy to take on something so unfamiliar but it was the right thing to do for me. It takes time but it’s worth it to figure out what’s in your heart.

Answer

Its good to Read his words especially the Ones that Jesus spoke! It don't matter where you start in the Bible! Your Heart will always Lead you to where you Need to be! And what you need to know 👌. Its great to do a prayer before reading the bible, without it you'll have yourself in confusion! Its best to ask for wisdom, knowledge and understanding when praying! And guidance when you are reading! Reading the words out makes you remember it more than saying it in your mind does. But its much better to experience whats going on in the world, So that you can understand the bible a little bit better.

Answer

are you looking for a new age type religion or traditional?

Answer

the best thing you can do to draw close to God and Jesus is to read His word. read the bible every day. but be choosy on where you start because some of it is very confusing and can put you off. start with the books of John, Mark, Luke and Matthew. Google something like the best place to start reading the bible for beginners. when I started my journey a year ago the best thing I did was start by reading the bible and going to church every Sunday and Wednesday night bible study. then I started going to a bible study just for us women on Sunday nights and we do different study's that have taught me so much. It's important to have someone to help teach you and share your journey with I think.
