Getting Closer to God

[Lead Me Lord]

I've done some regretful things in my past, and I've been trying to get away from the sin, trying to ask for forgiveness from God, get over the sin, turn from it and just not go back to it again. I've had problems, however, with going back to it again and again, sinning over and over, when I know it's wrong..most of the time it's willful. I wanted to confess that I'm a sinner right here, and say that I need Jesus so badly right now..I'm not even worth the dust that He made me with. I know that everyone sins, but it seems I do it more..and afterall, it is willful most of the time. I feel like He doesn't want me, like He looks down on me and just shakes His mighty head, wondering what happened. I can just see Him looking at me and saying "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I thought you wanted to live for Me? You lied, you want nothing more than to continue in your vile sin!" I can just picture what He would say. God, please forgive me for sinning against You, a holy Lord. >< Please pray for me people, for me to grow closer to the Lord, to trust in Him to lead my life, not take control of it for myself. Please pray for me to grow and to learn from Him, as I know that I should've been instead of doing what I wanted to do all this time.

Ok what you are feeling is what all christians start out with. this is satan telling you that u sin to much that God does not want anything to do with you. But Jesus says what they ask in my name they shall recieve and when you repent and confess you're sins jesus and God forgive you and do nto reflect on it for they love it when his children tell him in person what they did wrong. But do not let this feeling get to ya for it is satan trying to get you off of track with God. But remember God will not forsake his kids if they come to him and confess their sins.

Someone wiser than I once said, "The only true failure is when you don't pick yourself up again."

James 1:12

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

The Lord still loves you...a lot!!! Continue to ask for His help. Also, stay strong in prayer and stay in the Word. Be sure you spend time w/ Him daily and bask in His presence.

Do not think that your sin is a surprise to God. He knew all about it when He saved you. Do not fall into the trap that says, "I'm a Christian now so I must be perfect. If I'm not I must not be a Christian."

God does call us to be perfect as He is perfect. Sin is still sin. However, God loves us and saves us in spite of our sinfulness. Perfection is the goal, not the condition of our salvation.

You know no matter what you could ever do or think or how many times you could do it. When Jesus is shaking his head do you really want to know what he's thinking?

"Why doesnt she KNOW that I LOVE HER".

For he is LOVE. It is so hard for us to understand the love he has for us. Don't let satan steal you joy. You see when you sin run to him his arms are wide open and just waiting for you. All those thoughts about how bad you are NEVER come form him.
