Lost and wandering, struggling and slight misery

[Keyakku]

Things have been getting worse and worse...

Outside Christ and the church, there really is nothing at all in the world that brings long lasting joy or happiness... there's nothing that the world can offer that is better than what Jesus alone offers. There's nothing that you can substitute for his love, mercy, joy, and so on. My faith and belief is struggling, i want to read scripture more again, but i don't..

It's like, the more you stray away.. the more you fall away, the more empty and depressed you get, no matter what you do to fill that in. i keep praying almost the same things everyday, give thanks and end the day with prayer. To the point where, it's not heart felt anymore, and i think because of that, sin and iniquity becomes more and more apparent.. i gotten myself into another habitual cycle of sin, and a dangerous one at that.

I call out to him for help but it's like, there's no answer.
i feel separated from him.
knowing and being aware of this, living day after day, same thing everyday.
it's almost.. miserable..
No matter how comfortable it gets, it's miserable regardless when you're aware of it.

Yessterday I posted the following which has to do with happiness in Jesus, Yeshua:
"
This past week I have been having a lot of seasonal sweets and none of my usual unleavened bread.

Yesterday I felt I had had just about enough of sweets, and I missed my unleavened bread..

This morning a whipped up some dough and had my usual unleavened bread. It is delicious and makes me wonder why I even had any of the sweets. Of course there probably is a place in our lives for sweets, but nothing compares to the satisfaction of unleavened bread.

AS I was partaking of this personal treat my mind was taken from the pure enjoyment of this unleavened bread to the Bread from Heaven, and it came to me that true happiness is to live and be as much like Jesus, Yeshua, was in the flesh as is possible .. No, I am not going to run back to Israel and give the Good news to every Jew and Moslem i encounter, but I am going to stay the course (the Way) He has given me, for this is true happiness.

It is only when we do not do our best to be like our Savior that unhappiness crosses our threshold. Be like Jesus, Yeshua; be happy.

All blessings and wonder in our Savior………..amen.

Of course you will experience sadness, but for others."

I pray you be blessed always with love, strength, longsuffering and all else that will take you strongly on your Way in Jesus, amen.

hi Keyakku, welcome to CC!

your post reminded me of this
Psalm 102 My days are like a shade which is stretched out; I am dry like the grass.

What a bunch of "crap" you started out with the right stuff then you went on to tell us how you stray and put G-d in at the end...

I get it.... been there too...

I do believe G-d "pulls" away to see how much we will go after Him... Morning, Noon and Night...

The He is so AWEWSOME HE SHOWS UP LIKE BAM!!!!

You are either being deceived by Satan or your flesh is in the way. Eather way usless, yet separates us from G-d... ONLY FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT WE ARE VICTORIOUS IN HIM!!!!

But this praying at night, or what ever... you get the point, when your flesh had fun all day is a bunch of crap between you and G-d....
