Stuck in the mud feeling...

Basically the story is, Over the past couple of weeks/months I've kept a strong face in public but on the inside and private I've been backsliding more and more... I struggle to pray even once a day, my language is becoming worse and worse and Im no longer feeling that conviction for swearing... then some nights I think about my sin and determine to turn back around and I pray and I read for a day then it always falls down again...

I dunno what to do to get me out of what feels like quicksand....I know nothing I do obtains the righteousness of God accept by receiving His grace and trusting and living as Christ did...but if i cant even cope a single day, how can i cope with a lifetime... I have no doubt that God is true and Jesus was son of God, however, its more my behavioural habits and struggles that overwhelm me...

now I know what 1 corinthians 10:13 says that no temptation has overtaken me except what is common to man, and that God will provide a way that I can bear and overcome it... i know what scripture says, but i still feel that as much as i pray it, and believe it, im still not seeing the results....

advice, prayers and scripture is much appreciates

Fill him with the peace that comes from Your presence.
Lord you are His guide and teacher.
Release the wisdom that comes from Your word…
Into his heart and mind.
Instruct him and give him the understanding
of the salvation which comes through faith in Christ Jesus.
In Your word Lord; You say no-one can snatch us out of Your hand.
Pour Your fruits into His life.
Surround Him with people who know and love You Jesus!
May he grow to love fellowship with You and other believers.
In Jesus Name, Amen

I hope this speaks to your heart
Keep us posted
God bless, Shekaniah



2 Tim 2 -7
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.

Praying for you to be renewed in the joy of Jesus.
We all have times like this, just keep holding on to Jesus, because He is already holding on to you.

God bless

Don't give up! Changing habits takes time and effort. Separate yourself from that part of the 'world' that is the hardest for you to resist. Prayer and engaging in the Bible will definitely help with you gaining control of your willpower. Also, be aware of your thoughts...our minds are where spiritual warfare takes place. If our thoughts are very un-Christlike, the Holy Spirit will have a hard time entering into us.

The world is very tempting....but we can overcome that temptation. The reward is great! Praying for you...that the Spirit will enable you to get yourself under control. We all struggle with this very thing .

Spiritual warfare beloved is the reason google Ron Phillips ~~~ Own your identity in jesus christ and wear your armor and rebuke the enemy . never let the devil pick your agenda. Abba Father cast python out of this beloveds life and send holy spirit to teach him those things he needs to know in this event by the authority and in the name of jesus christ amen

Praying for you. I like you have written God is not dead he is living on the inside but you have got to listen. Do not give in to this battle in your mind it only leads to more things. Sin is a pit that gets deeper with everything we let slide by. Then one day we wake up and say how did I get here and the dispair of it all makes some people never get back out. Don't let youself take that road.

Song of Solomon 2:15 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.

You know Malcy there are times when it seems like God is a million miles away . It seems like your prayers hit the ceiling and fall right back in your lap . You go through your day and instead of smiling , you wish that you could just scream . I was praying the other day and spending time with God , and I have this habit of looking up sometimes when I pray . I heard God say to me , ' why do you keep looking up when you pray ? . Im not hanging from the chandelier ' . lol . I guess I took that to mean that I needed to break out of an old habit , and stop putting God in a box . He is all around us when we pray , and whats more , Hes on the inside of us . The Word is very near you , its in your heart and in your mouth that you may do it . God has placed to much greatness on the inside of you to simply , discard you at the first sign of trouble. lol . He loves you , he has invested His Son in you . He hasnt given up on you. Breakthru is coming. Behold , I do a new thing . Before it springs forth shall you not know it?

oh sweetie, you are simply facing a test I think in life. You have a choice to always turn back to the Lord and sweetie I pray every single day about cussing, if you cussed before you got right with the Lord it is a bad habit to break. It really truly is. But do you know what I do when I say a cussword? I say Lord please forgive me and thank you for forgiving me please can you help me to not say cusswords my Lord? Please help me to speak words of love and life and then I think about how dirty saying cusswords always makes me feel afterwards. You have to remember that it is the Lord who brings this change about cussing to your heart and mind and he WILL see you through. We fall honey, we are human. The only thing you can do is keep getting back up and keep reaching for Jesus each time it happens. We all as children of God face these hardships. I sometimes pray Lord I can't feel you right now and I think that I need to ask you to pull me back under your wing and to keep that string that connects me and you short so that I do not stray to far from you and get myself in trouble. He truly really is all the answer that us humans really only need. Don't buy into the fear and the lies that I can see that the devil has almost convinced you to believe. They.....are.....lies. Well that is where your brothers and sisters in Christ come in and remind you of these things. Have faith and hope always in our Lord and things will just always turn out beautiful and perfect because he is over it. God Bless and know that your struggle is not yours alone. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for you!
