One thing that I have not learned yet is how to keep moving on after I sin and sin and sin and sin and.....sin over and over again, for the same thing. I don't get how older people can just be like every thing is cool. When I would sin I use to be like I am sorry God forget me blah blah it won't happen again, even though I prayed and said I will stop over and over again. I never do. Now I don't even repent because I can't bring myself to ask for forgiveness when I know I will do it again. I gets at me so much. That is one of two things that hurt my walk more than anything else.

After a year of praying for a sign to tell me what I should do with my life. And four strangers coming up to me telling me they can see the light in me. That I will be a minister. That I will be a leader for Christ.
As I was going to pray for the last time at a church camp, I was ready to get up, I went to the alter to just to pray one last time. I told God that I was sorry that I kept messing up how am I gonna lead your people? I don't know how pastors can just keep moving up. I got up to leave and as i moved my way through the crowd a man grabbed me. Told me how he seen me worship before that he seen me last year and I worshipped even more. That he could see the ability to lead in me. (No doubt I have that ability, but I can't bring myself to accept it) That one day I will be a pastor. He went on to tell me more. When I walked away from him another man stopped me and told me a destiny more specific.
I since put all that behind me. Telling myself I can't lead others when I can't lead myself any more.
I was just wondering how do y'all manage to keep pushing when you know you are gonna mess up for the same thing over again? How to you bring yourself to repent over and over again? Is this just an ego thing, for me? I banned God's will for my life because of this.

Like Your sig says, 'let go and let God'.
People think that's antinomian or lazy, but in actuality if you find it's all over your head and overwhelming, there is nothing wrong in seeing that you were in the way all along and instead you turn in full dependency to Him, calling upon Him and His wisdom, His Power, His timing etc. etc.

@Chadtreme, brother, listen to what the Spirit says to you and please be aware, that Satan is our enemy and if God has called you you will know and the enemy will tell you no. I find it very hard to walk up right because of this simple fact, we are two things salt and light and and therefore dangerous to the enemy because the light can be seen and the salt will favor the Word of God.

Don't listen to Satan, prayer is the weapon that you have and God will hear it, ask and He will show you things you can't even imagine, step up and taste that the Lord is Good
