I fail again

[theartist87]

On thursday last week I failed in my walk twice. This is something that I keep falling to, then pick myself back up, carry on for a week, and fall again. I had been going strong for a while but on thursday somehow I fell twice.

In the same day, my life was literally saved twice. I would have been flat out dead twice later that same day and I was saved.

I'm not even worthy. I know he must have a plan for me to save me like that (not even mentioning the countless times I should be dead already). I just don't get it. I don't understand why I keep doing this. I don't understand why he keeps pulling me back up.

I need to get rid of this. I have been trying to completely turn my life around. I have now been building this up to the first of the year. In 2009 I don't want to fall to this anymore, I want to rededicate my life. I need help, I don't even know where to start. I don't even know why I'm not dead right now

None of us are worthy.

That's why it is so amazing

Every day is a new day in Christ. Every day. I think it is a great idea to say "In 2009, no more", it's a good idea I like new year's resolutions. Because when a new year comes along, we feel more renewed then at any other time.

But, I don't want you to set yourself up really really high (new year, I won't fail), and then fall from that height even harder. When people stumble after setting a new year's resolutions, it can push them into a deep depression over it, because they feel their "one" opportunity to change has passed.

I want you to remember, that each and every day is a new day in Christ. Not one day, but ALL days. And even if you should trip and stumble again, please do not lose heart, because it was not your one and only time. It will never be your last time or your one and only time.

You are a marvelous creation of God, and in His infinite forgiveness, you will always have a chance.

Good luck in the coming new year, and I do hope everything works out for you. You certainly are in my prayers.

We are all destined to fall sometime in our lives. Its not an act of failure but learning from what causes you to stumble. Failure is good for us because it builds are character and our stamina. Know that God is working through your weaknesses. He is your potter and he is cutting out all the misshapen parts of you and making him like himself.

Father,

Please give this man more courage and strength to recover from life's mishaps. Tell him that it is OK to fail. That you are sharpening every part of himself to be more like you father. Tell him father that he is worthy because of what the son Jesus did for every one of us.

Amen

Just do the best you can.

I would recommend the book, Getting Free by Bert Ghessi. This is an excellant book for working through persistant struggles and an excellant overview of the nature and sources of sin.

Prayers sent.

Praying for you!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever shared what is making you fall in your walk with anyone. Bringing your sin into the light rather than keeping it in darkness can be liberating for some. Bless you

Have you read the poem Footprints in the Sand?

It never gets old for me, and it reminds me that God's there when I fail... When we fail, we know that we need God, and we remember how much he loves us. He wants to forgive us, and He wants to help us.
