I just cried my eyes out. I am so bored with my life. I need change. I WANT change! I Worst of alll, I keep falling farther and farther into sin. I am, desperate! I dont want to act as a victim anymore. These days I can't do anything right. I messed up in front of God. We used to be good friends. I need God's friendship. "You need faith" everyone keeps telling me. "Be patient".
I messed up pretty badly. I missed a huge opportunity from God. God had a plan for me and I screwed it up pretty badly. been thinking about that a lot lately.
I heard from an elder in the church I am a Gate for God. I NEED to be strong enough for that. I need help putting God first! I need prayer for focus and so I can grow as a Christian. I also need prayer with putting my priorities in order. I need to fulfill my destiny as a Christian, to graduate! I need prayer for patience! I've been trying to read my Bible, but I dont want to have the wrong motive! I need help! please pray for me!
 
First of all, God does want you back. And He'll help you get there. He will forgive you for any mistakes you've made. Confess them to Him, and ask Him to help you not to make those mistakes in the future. And about needing to be strong enough for Him to use you, remember that His power is perfected... in weakness. :)

I will pray for you. And I'm reminded of a prayer that I read on this site a while ago, so I'll give you a link: http://christianchat.com/prayer-requests/39739-miracle-prayer.html

Hey butterfly lady, welcome to CC! The good news is that no matter how much you've messed up, Jesus still loves you and wants you back and still has a plan for you! Seek him with all your heart. Plant God's word in your heart every day. It will surely grow in you and you will produce a wonderful harvest through time. God is with you always. I'll be praying for you! :)

" I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." Ezekiel 36:26-27
 
Praying

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin

Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
 
Butterflylady, God wants to give you that change that you'll looking for more then you want it, but you got to do it his way, and his way is to trust him. Fully and completely. He got to take first place in your life. He won't take secound. Once you do that he will be with you wherever you go, and you will know that he's there. I'm not saying that life will be easy but there's nothing better then to have the Holy Spirit right there in your heart, but you got to take up his cross and follow him daily. I rather live in the middle of a corn field all alone and have the Holy Spirit in my heart then to have all the glamer in the world and not have him. You got to find that personal relationship with Christ. I pray that you will.
 
Praying for you and all you ask in Jesus Christ is Lord.

Hugs hugs and God bless :)

Welcome to the site, my sister. :)
You know, when I was about 20 I began to ask God for patience. He gave me six children. :)
I kept asking, and He led us to homeschool our kiddos.
I kept asking, and He gave me illness.
And I have learned to w-a-i-t. (thank You, Lord of all!)

I'm not sure of much, but I am sure that your past is gone, and all the sin that weighs you down is included in that.
Once we see things God's way (acknowledging our sin and receiving His forgiveness), we can do what He did---forget about it. :)
His mercies are new every morning, and this is a new day in the Lord, given to you by God. Any opportunity that was in His will, He will see to it you have.
And whatever was not of Him, rejoice and be glad you were spared it. :)
The way I see it, therein lies the peace that passes understanding. Nothing can separate us from His love, and He can do anything. ♥
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)I have prayed for you, dear child. I wonder how many times the Word adjures us to "fear not"?
Don't be afraid, and don't worry. The Author of your faith will complete it! :)
love,
ellie
