I have said this before.
Jesus, came to save SINNERS. Yes!!! Big ones and small ones, fat ones and thin ones! Gigantic ones, like me!
I am such a massive sinner. I fail God all the time. Constantly I beg forgiveness. When I go to confession it has my name above the door!!
Every time I fall, I get up again. I may keep falling, but I will still keep getting up. Each time, determined not to fall again, but, knowing that if I do, as I always do, Jesus is there to help me up.
As you carry your cross in life, remember, Jesus is carrying you.
God bless you

Hi LostChild
Psalm 27 gives us an idea of what seeking the Lord with all our heart looks like. Meditate on it and see if it helps.
One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.
Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Look to that cross and replace the word 'whoever' with your own name to personalize the Scripture passage of John 3:14-16 - This might help to drive it home to your heart. His Word is living and able to cut to the heart of the matter, even bringing our thoughts into subjection to His love, beauty and purity - the sacred heart of Jesus!
- John 3:14 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, [1] even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,[2] that LostChildinTheMidst believes in Him should not perish but [have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that LostChildinTheMidst believes in Him and should not perish but have everlasting life.
- Numbers 21:7-9
- The cross has taken the sting of sin and death, our curse, away by the love of Jesus, the precious Lamb of God who gave Himself for you Lost child in the Midst
In Christ John 17:20

Sister, reading your words i see so much of myself in it, you are not alone in this struggle. Your spirit is willing but your past choices and habits weigh you down. I will pray for you, sister and that Jesus touches your heart as that is what you need, you are desperate for His presence in your life.
Sister get on your knees, ask Him for forgiveness and cry to Him to touch your heart, to move your heart to be as you have written: "Oh GOD GIVE ME A NEW HEART THAT IS HUNGRY FOR YOU AND A SPIRIT THAT IS FAITHFUL AND OBEDIENT". Do this every day till you get an answer. For He told us: Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall be given. He also said (i am paraphrasing): I am knocking on your doors, if you open and let me in i shall sit with you and dine with you and you with Me.
Revelations 3:19 - 3:21
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and
am set down with my Father in his throne.
Sister, we were given a load that we can overcome. It isn't easy but you can do it. Repent and distance yourself from your former life. It wont happen overnight unless Jesus intervenes, so little by little is better than not at all. We are laden with this burden so we will grow spiritually. Like digging for gold, there is alot of effort and giving up of things involved and alot of dirt needs to be shoveled away to get to our gold. Be a digger for gold in Jesus Christ.
You are in my prayers sister, i pray that the Lord will touch and move your heart and you will hear from Him. He often gives us wisdom through our dreams so keep that in mind if you see a dream that encourages you to be closer to Jesus and presents you passages from the Holy Scripture. He may be angry but He will never condem you or tell you you are unworthy if you are receiving such a dream it is not from Him. I encourage you to read Holy Scripture daily, there is wisdom there that will comfort you and strengthen your resolve. It happens so often to me as i open it the page that it opens on has the advice i was looking for.
God loves you and you are His child, sister. Were you not, your spirit wouldn't be in such an anguish and pain. You would give your situation no thought and you would mock everything that you feel and strive for right now. This is your call for help and He will answer to you, be persistent in your search for His voice and advice and don't believe the lies that you are not worthy. Don't give up and call to Him till you hear from Him. Promise to yourself you will not stop crying out to Him till you get an answer.
God bless you sister in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

May the lord grant you with everlasting protection and secure faith dear friend, thank you for this message. But I'm so lazy to cry out to him, I don't even bow down on my knees to pray. I just go outside and sit by myself with my eyes open. Heaven is way harder than I thought dear friend may the road be smooth for you, god bless you dear friend, you are in his palm although you may not feel like it.

Thank you, sister, your kindness means alot to me. For a long time i would rather accept lies than seek Him because i was afraid of being shown all that i failed to do right and to feel how far i was from Him. You are doing more than you realize, sister, even going outside to just be in peace with your eyes open and your thoughts on Him and on you wishing to change is great.
I do recommend that you give praying on your knees a try and just talk to Him today, sister. Tell Him what is in your mind and ask Him for help and for forgiveness and forgive yourself and any that has harmed you, too. It will be a blessing to you, persist in it every day and thank Him for little things like your meal, seeing birds singing and things that move your heart, but are seen as unimportant to the world.
Last year while walking to work i saw a homeless man by the fruit stall and looking at the fruit with desire to eat some of it. He was just looking at it when a pair of rough looking characters pass by and order some fruit. Then they saw the homeless man and to my surprise they bought him some fruit, too. It immensely cheered me to see that. Seeing things like that warmed my heart, i was glad to see that and said to myself i wanted to help like that, too. Helping others that are in need moves you closer to Him.
Sister, don't give up, you are not as bad as the enemy through your heart accuses you of. Believe it, sister, and may you be shielded by His grace and may His mercy move your heart so you will know Him and be at peace. Praying for you, sister in Jesus name. In your heart you are more beautiful that you give yourself credit for. God bless

Thank you dear friend, I agree. I'm just so afraid I won't go into heaven. So many people are dying and going to hell , even people that thought they were Christians!! Hopefully the lord is nice enough to set me free to the truthThank you, sister, your kindness means alot to me.

Praying for you (((hug)))

Actually you should seek and pray to Jesus since He is the only one who saves us.
I feel the same way as you do too. I am praying that Jesus will answer me and help me turn from all my sins.

I'm glad you asked this question, friend. I see that others have already given you great answers. I believe writing is not an adequate medium for giving or receiving extensive advice concerning serious questions such as yours. I'd, therefore, encourage you to contact the website chaplain as someone has already suggested earlier. If they are not available, please call the number I gave you in my previous response. The chaplains in that number are available weekdays from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. (Mountain time). My continued prayers for you!

I doubt you have done anything that we all haven't done.
We all sin and come short of the glory of God.
Fight for God. When the bad thoughts come fight by replacing them. That's satans doing. Don't let him steal him away from you. You must! Your very life depends on it. The help has to come from you. Keep christian tv on all the times or Christian music. You can't think bad thoughts while watching a sermon. Billy graham is on right now. As hard as it is you must fight the negative thoughts about yourself. God loves you no matter what!!! Remind yourself of that. Fight, fight,, fight.
Bless your heart
