I had a strong relationship with God, but as years gone by with so many struggles. I couldn't trust God, I made my own decisions. I became lukewarm/backslid and im totally sorry. I ignored the purpose I had in my life. I still began to continue, and one day I totally gave up everything and tried to pursue my destiny. I was discouraged when I trusted God to meet me half way and felt like he didn't. What im afraid of is, has God given up on me? I was in sin, did God give me over to my selfish desires? I forsaken my own ways and trying to get back on that narrow path with God, but it seems like only a one sided struggle. My heart is hardened, and I pray everyday that God will restore me, but it has been a month. I am desperate to find Jesus again, but so far havent found Him. I want the relationship I once had.. The only hope I feel is I can try to come back home to the Father, but im also losing that because I can't seem to make my way back home and Jesus has left me.. Never felt this lonely ever. :(

You can't ask God to do things like meet you halfway, it just doesn't work that way. Make sure you're going to Church every Sunday, reading the Bible and praying every day and try joining a Bible Study. Tell others how you feel and ask them to pray as well. It's hard, but God loves you so much, he will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be praying! God Bless

It is your free choice to go as far away as you want from God . But , the only real way to get back with The Father of Jesus Christ is to make a sincere covenant with the Father that you will always obey all of Jesus' sayings ( greek text ) no matter what .

Okay I had this problem only... I wasn't just going my own way, I was being a very... Slutty person lets just say... And I prayed and prayed. I confessed to God what I had done, and I asked for forgiveness. You need to have an intimate relationship with God. You need to know you love him, not just say you do.. Believe that you love God and profess your faith to others just as you do to him. Find your intimate relationship with God and profess your faith to others and things should start to fall back in line.



Do this for a while, maybe even go talk to your preacher about it.

God Bless you hun.

        One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

             Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

                  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

                       Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

                           other times there were one set of footprints.

 

                                  This bothered me because I noticed

                                that during the low periods of my life,

                             when I was suffering from

                         anguish, sorrow or defeat,

                     I could see only one set of footprints.

 

          So I said to the Lord,

      "You promised me Lord,

         that if I followed you,

             you would walk with me always.

                   But I have noticed that during

                          the most trying periods of my life

                                 there have only been one

                                       set of footprints in the sand.

                                           Why, when I needed you most,

                                          you have not been there for me?"

 

                                 The Lord replied,

                          "The times when you have

                  seen only one set of footprints,

          is when I carried you."

Remember, the response of Jesus the Christ to truly repentant ones?



This was a part of Christ's mission on earth?





Isaiah 42:1-10

American Standard Version (ASV)



Isaiah 42

1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.



2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.



3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.



4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.



5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:



6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;



7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.



8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.



9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.



10 Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.







All those who seek will find, all who knock, it shall be opened.



Matthew 7:7-8; Proverbs 2:1-6; Hebrews 11:6.

I'm sorry smiley, there are just so many of you I can't keep up with all the prayers anymore. But now that I've got a computer I'm working through the backlog. I should get round to you by 2023
