I need help with motivation

I am a husband, father, and artist, but my life is SOOO jumbled up...We had to give up our apartment a few months back, I cant seem to stay consistent with working out, song writing, reading the bible, or even keeping our ROOM clean. When i was single, my prayer life was amazing, I was a lot thinner and I work songs back to back...I guess what Im asking is: how did I recapture that fire I once had as a married father? How did I lose my fire? Please help, anyone.

Fire is nice,....consistency is better.
- Listen, forget about 'recapturing' anything.
- - You sleep in the same bed as your wife(which you should) and it slows down your metabolism.

Since when is accomplishing many things a good thing?
Just center.
Focus bro.
- No need to freak.

You are like Martha, you are troubled about many things. (Luke 10:41-42)
You don't need any more motivation than you already have.
You have a wife that loves you, you have a baby that not only loves you, but looks up to you as god (a form).
Man, can't you see that you are growing in grace? Why return to bondage?
Listen bud, you didn't lose your fire, what happened is you are maturing. - (The fire is different)
You will receive the songs as you work. - (Was your ministry ever about you anyway? Or was it to lead others to Jesus?)
Don't fret it.
Piece O' Cake
- Called growing up, are you sad because you are not six years old anymore?
- - C'mon Bro. Jesus is with you, slow down.

Rick, I think I needed to hear that

Try fasting, get some of the fleshy flab off and get in tune with the Spirit. You sound like your in a rut. But I agree as you get older that fire does change into something more complete and stable.

Sin is a heart hardener, the cure is in pouring out our heart to the Lord.
But....how does a hardened heart pour itself out to the Lord?
Answer; plunge yourself once again beneath that Flood.

There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.
E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.
-William Cowper

No need to freak.. Yes.. but we need to know.. as we are entering in to family life.. the things in flesh life can divert our time, focus, faith and all. So this marital life always turns us to flesh things.. it kills the life with God..
1Co 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Here we need to take some care.. to understand the God's message.,.
if a wood is in firing place it continues to fire.. if a wood comes out from firing place.. it can lost the chance to fire,.
when we are alone we will spare more time, more attention more services to God
when we are going to have wife.. she is causing to divert some attention from God..
In my view. this is very hard to understand.. That's why this is very hard question to understand and to give suitable reply.. Family is need... but i know family can divert some time from God..
This is so true.. i have some personal experience in that matter.,. blessings to you my brother

I'd like to say thank you for all the responses on this matter. I definitely dont want life to overwhelm me, knowing that I have the power of it.

PLATE:

FYI: My post was mostly tongue in cheek, kinda like the "motivation" I used to get when I was in the Military.

I will pray that God gives you the strength to hold fast to your faith, and family, and START WRITING AGAIN!

Visit and seek help from a professional doctor and make sure they will have time for you.
Problem with that may be that they often are to quick say you should have medication and councelling when it may be a very easy fix.


You could have sufficiency in vitamins, feel lonely and isolated, maybe you are bullied these things happen even to adults by so called adults. For instance there was a sisterhood of woman who set some one up, spread lies about them in church and b4 god lied and they bullied etc and this is so called adults call them self christians.
The person could not go any where cause community bully because lies etc.
They ruined engagement and love life and did stole money and many other things.
They were so many and behaved like educated teenage bullies some of them were 80 yrs old..... go figure.
How nasty people can be and that can be depressing one looses zest cause depressed and exhausted.


You could need some one care for you and love you and if you are not able give that to yourself because you are working so much in spirit you can pray God will bring love and care for you so that you feel loved and feel cared for.

Be in nature.
If you are not suffering fatigue like me you can exercise.

I truly beleive in natural therapy instead of medication but one needs professional help with this.

Some times a hug or someone listening to you or to "be with" can be enough.
Specially for someone isolated and alone.
A little "tenderness" can be enough to feel better.


Try make those around you understand you and not "stop feel sorry for self" "snap out of it".
You need understanding and support.
Also try keep being sweet to loved ones blessed be you have them.
Many people never get a cuddle or a touch of love or kindness year after year young people as well as old people.

Maybe try doing some thing sweet once a week for them like bake cookies or drive outing.

Maybe learn to dance with your partner and get active together if you not fatigue or dizzy.

Make a romantic dinner and put care into it.
Decorate plate with flowers and make it special.

Pray get your passion back.

Do you get love and care do you feel loved and cared for ..can you breath, be ..
Take care of yourself.
Massage etc.

I understand I also been depressed as i am bullied and isolated and hated and people in church a sisterhood been lieing about me and i have hotflushes like i burning up and im 35 menopausal cause had cancer, nosociallife not assessed my money, people steal from me, not assessed my home yet and the one man i been seeing (but not in flesh)has a whole church and sisterhood all against me and want him be with someone else a fake "perfect female" who been stealing from me and retailers been bad to me aswell because of these people with lots power they miss use and many other things happened.
I am always exhausted and work very hard but not assessed money or my realestate i bought.
I am not welcome in church because they lie about me and they want this man to marry her instead of me despite him choosing me. So much power a church has and misuses.
when i had cancer i was workaholic and others were stealing money from me and living inluxory while i was bullied and isolated etc.
a whole society such behaviours .such hypocrisy. astounding such fakeness even or especially in church and so many lied in church and every one beleived them.
some of them had reputation be so sweet but things aint as seem always.
