Whenever I sin against God, it stays with me and haunts me. I feel guilty and I dwell on it. I always end up not reading my Bible and not praying as I should because I feel either too guilty to go to Jesus or I feel unworthy to. I know I am unworthy..but I also know that Jesus died for me. I try to "fix myself" by myself, but I always end up feeling worse off-like there is a gaping whole inside my soul. When I go back to God and repent, I feel filled and whole again. So why do I allow myself to lie to myself? Why do I allow myself to go on days without reconciling with God? I don't know. I'm reckless..foolhardy. I have to stop. But I can't do that on my own either. I feel helpless..but I know I'm not.
Contradictory, huh?

ReplyDeleteAnd you really have to stop doing that, you need God too much to deny yourself
God has already forgiven you and forgotten about your sins so why do you keep remembering them.
“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:25-26)
Pray about everything, how confused you are how you dont feel good, how you dont know how to repent, how you dont feeel worthy just give it all to Him
The fact that you even feel guilty/wrong shows that Jesus is reaching out to you
"For the LORD corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights." So whenever you distraught in your soul that's God trying to get you back, correct you so you can grown
“Just remember, pray, when you don’t have to, read even when you don’t want to, and have faith. God gave us life for a special reason.”
The devil is lying to you and you need to tell him to stop, and how do you do that, praising God. Just tell all this to God earnestly and whole heartedly and He will make a way I promise you..
Bottom line we all fall short of the glory, we ARE unworthy but you know the deal, Christ came so take full advantage of tht every time you sleep and ask God to correct you more and give you strengh.
