Hi readers,
I guess you can say posting here was a last resort to find help on the situation I find myself in at this moment..
-
So the last few weeks, I've noticed I've been straying away from the attitudes and mindsets that God has taught me. Being home all summer, I've been eating a lot more, and I've noticed I am so irritable, the slightest things could tick me off at times.
My walk has always been like this. It's like a cycle; I stray off from the path God has me on, realize it, slowly get back on His path, then stray away in a short amount of time...
Along with the stress that comes with planning an out-of-town trip, I've been far more irritable the day of posting this thread. I even got aggravated with my parents more than I ever have in a really long time. I feel like I've gone too far, asking God for forgiveness, yet failing Him the same way I have, that I'm at a point where He's giving me a choice to continue on with the "cycle" I've come accustomed to, or to seriously start from a clean slate.
I know what I want: to finally change and start from a clean slate. Fact of the matter is, It's very easy to give into temptation.. I'm scared I will fail Him again. I can see clearly what I want, yet I'm so discouraged from the way my personality is and lies that the enemy instills in my head. I prayed about it, yet I feel like God didn't hear me. I try to sing and worship, yet I feel like God doesn't hear me. I don't know what to do at this point in my walk.. I've gone too far.. any advice?

Hey brother, i know how you feel. i felt the same way like i was getting cold and i just was failing all the time. I would get frustrated and felt like the lord was not even listening to me. I was filled with doubts and felt horrible. I was even seeing myself starting to get into sins that i wasn't into before. Then i noticed that the lord came not to bring more laws or to condemn us. He came to save us and set us free. Even though you feel like the lord is not there, he is always there. In the word it says he will never leave you nor forsake you. Also with failures that come along all our ways. God knows you and he knows what you are struggling with. Give all your struggles to him and let him give you the strength to overcome it. In your own flesh you cannot do it. You need the lord to break the chains. Don't believe the lies of the devil. Trust in Jesus and talk to him. He is always there listening. Know that is grace is enough, and his grace gives you the power to overcome all your struggles. Also when you fail his grace and mercy is there for you. Brother i came from a crusade yesterday and i feel like i'm so recharged. I got back on fire for the lord and all of my struggles are going away. Turn from doubt to faith and trust in the lord. I love you brother and God bless. Ill pray for you. Message me if you have questions.
