Recently I can't help but think that I'm just a bad Christian. I've felt this way before. I feel like I shouldn't even openly call myself a Christian, because when I see how I'm living, it's a disgrace to Jesus to say I'm a follower of his. This world has enough people that call themselves "Christian" yet live just like the world. I will not profane the name of Jesus like that.
I do believe I'm saved. I believe, I know, that God is real and that following him is the best thing I can do in this life. But I don't seem to have much faith. It seems I don't really trust God as much as I say I do. In particular, there's some things I'd like to get off of my chest, which make me feel like a "bad Christian."
Sigh... yep.

- I don't feel grateful toward God/Jesus.
- I'm afraid of letting God touch me emotionally.
- I swear constantly, even when it's unnecessary.
- I make perverted jokes and laugh at them openly.
- I find myself looking at and thinking of the opposite gender inappropriately.
- I barely pray more than a few minutes before going to bed, and not much any other time.
- I get annoyed with my mother and hardly interact with my father.
Sigh... yep.
Everything you've listed, I've gone through. I have huge feelings of inadequecy, a lot of the time. But it's just what satan wants you to think.
Jesus saved us so we would be adequate. All he asks is that we do the best we can. That's all we can do, is our best.
