9. The good news is...
If you're ready to turn on God, the good news is, He's always been there for you. You just have to start listening. Next, you need to decide if your transformation is more religious than spiritual. If religious, then find a church that has a core group of people that share your values (good luck, I haven't been successful yet.) If spiritual, then understand that comfort and acceptance go hand-in-hand. It doesn't mean you'll always be living a relaxed, anxious free life, mind you, but that you will be striving for that goal, by accepting the travails that God puts in your path. And it's the acceptance of even the most difficult challenges that brings comfort to your life. Just learn to stick it out and eventually you will see why those obstacles were put in your path to begin with. When you go through this process several times over, and see them go full cycle, you'll begin to trust in God more often. Your life may not turn out to be heel-kicking fun, but it will be serene.
