From early 2018 until now I backslid, became lukewarm and no longer hate sin, I no longer grieve my sin and often find the scriptures are empty and do not incite awe of God or prayer
during my rebellion I lost my health and my close fellowship with God and I don't know how to get back to loving him and desiring the kingdom above all else, I force myself to read my bible, get frustrated by my lack of interest and throw it into the cupboard, my prayer life is forced, and my peace and joy is lacking, I regularly watch inappropriate content and touch, I lie, steal and mistreat others without remorse
there is a scripture which I feel contains Gods advice on repentance
2 chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
but how do I humble myself? how do I seek his face? how do I turn from my wicked ways, when turning comes as a result of knowing his love, but knowing his love requires you to turn from evil? its a catch 22 it seems, where do I start?
