I know this is like my 50th post but I don’t know who else really talk to I have a Lotta Unbelief I think and doubt I don’t know what to do I just sit in a small room all day and cry I’m worried I won’t get my Faith what do you guys think it’s been like this for two months I am slowly stopping to care I believe I hope not but I sin too much I have no conviction like never I will promise to do something to God and then I won’t do it or swear and I won’t do it I don’t know what to do I just want things to go back to normal my parents say they know how to get my faith and belief back but I’m not with them right now
Having faith in Jesus Christ is not just thinking "I believe there is a God out there somewhere". To have faith in Jesus means to abandon yourself to him. To say "I can't make anything out of my life, please take
you my life and make something out of it".
You see, faith in Jesus means to
trust Jesus the full 100%. Like, when you are on a plane and it gets into heavy turbulences you have to trust the pilot that he is in control of the situation. When you put your trust in Jesus you fully trust him to be in control of your life! Having faith in Jesus means to believe that Jesus will bring you safely to the end, and nothing and nobody can prevent him from doing that. Let yourself fall - and wait that Jesus catches you. He knows you and he loves you, he
will catch you. Are you willing to let go?
Making promises to God is a very dangerous thing. God doesn't need your promises and you don't have to earn his symphathy or affection by promising him certain things. While a broken promise towards God is very serious.
The Bible says in James 5:12
"But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned."
Trust in Jesus and learn to be guided by him. Stop making promises to God. You will have a much healthier relationship with Jesus when you treat him like a friend and not like someone who judges every small step of yours.
Jesus said in John 5:24
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life", and in Romans 5:1 we read
"since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ".
You have peace with God! He is not standing behind you saying "Oh, now she was disobedient again, she better makes a promise now to never do it again". No! When you do a mistake you ask God for forgiveness, and He will forgive you. That's it. No judgment, no promises needed. Next time you do the same mistake you ask God for forgiveness
again. And when you start being embarassed for asking for forgiveness for the same thing over and over again you're ready to get to know the power of the Holy Spirit who enables you to actually
stop doing that sin.
I can tell you from my experience that a friendship with Jesus is wonderful, but you have to abandon yourself completely to Him to experience it.
