I don’t even know what to write been thinking a lot in my head lately and sometimes I just wonder about things. I was out yesterday with my family and I’ve noticed it before but it’s just really starting to hit me how this world is being formed has been formed to make sin look so enticing. Everything that goes against God’s word is made to look normal these days and you’re the bad guy if you go against that. I struggle with in myself and fight myself every day with sin. I’m not saying I go out and willfully sin But I do have to go to war with my own mind with certain things. It’s tough out there and my only hope is God. I know he sees me and I know he knows the struggle I go through I just hate disappointing him every time I have to face the struggle. I pray I warship I love God with my whole heart and I gave him everything I have And I’m so grateful for his mercy and grace but most days I just feel like a big disappointment to him and I hope that’s not the case because I know I’m forgiven but off anon going to have to keep dealing with things like this until he finally take me home. I’m not even feeling worthy to be called a servant. I’m only a year and a half into following Christ so I’m guessing maybe a couple of you have gone through the same thing?

I think it is not uncommon that we start to wonder about the word and the world.
I find I am analytical at times. Maybe it is because I've studied some about the origin of the written word and the creed. Constantine's organizing what we know to be the official first church. The question as to how most of the new testament is written by someone who did not walk with our Lord. While what are the Christ's teachings comprise but 4 synoptic gospels. The rest we're to take on faith were transmitted to Paul by Christ from Heaven. As if he didn't finish what he intended while here.
What part of the scriptures are that of Rome and Constantine? All these questions that have answers in the studies. And then what?
I'm glad you posted this. I think a lot of people feel the way we do. They just may be afraid to say something.

Rejoice that God is working in you. You are not a disappointment, you never will be. Only when our self is brought low and we go through periods that appear dark can God reveal his truths to us.
May I suggest Andrew Murray's little book "Humility" as a resource to your Bible studies? Only when we are empty can God fill us with his truth. It may not feel like it now but great things are happening to you!

I understand how you feel. We all hate the sin in our lives. Both those of commission and ommission.
But realize you cannot surprise God. He knows what you are and who you are, and STILL decided to send His Son to die for you!
So stop focusing inward on your failures, and use that energy to focus outward on all those who are hurting and broken. All with your eyes on Jesus,and off of you.
God bless you.

Psalms 103:8-15
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9 He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.
10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
12 He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
13 The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
14 For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
15 Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
