Hey , I'm currently a college student at a pretty secular University. I come from a background of very strong Christians and a very strong community . When I first got to college I was hyped up and ready to strongly proclaim my faith, and this is what I did, I went to a couple parties sure, but would not dance with girls and would let them know why I did not do this. I was involved in bible studies and was ready to continue to pursue my relationship with God. I still struggled with lust and masturbation, but I would always get back up and used gods grace to proceed in knowing him. My pursuit of God was seen by a campus pastor and he asked that I become president of a christian organization and told me that my faith would grow even more from this.
Unfortunately , here I am, at the end of my sophomore year and things have gotten pretty distant. It begin with some events that were not so great in my life and I lost the ability to fight with energy. For weeks I have been telling my community and family that I have been experiencing spiritual fatigue in being that constant resistance o today's culture and do not know if I have the strength to keep standing out in such a secular campus. Recently I have not found the energy or the motivation to pursue my relationship with God. I know who he is but I feel that he expected too much of me, to be a sole leader at a campus that is desolate , and to resist the temptations of college life. Now I find myself struggling with lust and masturbation and I am constantly moving toward a direction of deciding to just go a party like my other peers. I just don't feel like I have the spiritual strength to continue to pursue God like i have been, yeah sure it'd be easy to be a lukewarm christian like everyone else, party in Saturday and go to church Sunday, But as far as honestly pursuing God I feel like I have lost the strength. I feel like I am exhausted and I am only 20 years old .
What is God doing , how do I regain energy and motivation. If anyone in college has had a similar experience please help me out thanks
