Lost my way

I feel quite lost.

Very Christian upbringing. Have always been a very committed Christian. Worked in the church. Have been through some awful things in life but my faith has always been secure and strong. Very much about love and grace and a personal relationship.

Am working on processing my childhood and suddenly it's thrown up a huge amount of doubt.

I don't know what I believe. If I believe.

I think I believe in God. I feel a spiritual connection when I am in nature.

I struggle to connect with any of the Christian religion stuff. The Bible, the crucifixion and resurrection, communion. Prayer also feels detached. I think it has been like this for some time but I haven't been able to admit it.

It is terrifying. I don't know what to do with it. I don't know where to go.

I looked into unitarianism and I like the look of it a lot. But it doesn't seem to be very child/ family friendly or vibrant in terms of community.

Anyone else been through similar? Where did you go from here in your spiritual journey? Is there a faith or religion out there for me or am I now on an island?

All thoughts and comments appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Hi ChestOfDrawers sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I wondered if the rest of your family are religious? Have you told them about your doubts? I have a few Church leaders in my immediate and extended family. I can't be honest with them which is pathetic. They will be so upset as they are evangelical. If I am not a Christian they will think i'm going to hell Sad
