I've not been very mindful of my being a Christian lately, but I am desperate about my kid learning the Christian ways. I'm just having a hard time instilling it to her because I am not at my best. What can I do?

The best first thing you can do is recognize the problem - so kuddos to you!
What would you like do differently to be better? What are the types of behavior you would like to work up towards your best?

Make a list of things you need to change in your life and seek support and prayer for it. Discipline yourself to practice self-control and intentionally choose to do the right thing. Often we don't live rightly because we have not intentionally planned to do the right thing.
But you also need to draw closer to the Lord. When you are walking close with Him, then doing the right thing become easier and feels natural. You will be do automatically make good choices without even thinking about it much.

Agreed.
And the next thing to do is find a mature believer who will keep you accountable in those areas that you are lacking. Sit down together and figure out what problem to tackle first, and a plan to fix it. And then DO IT.
Then on to the next one, and the next one ....

Thank y'all for your wonderful comments. I'm actually struggling because whenever I read the scriptures, I can't help but question them. Then I would end up doing research about it and would find evidences or pseudo-evidences against it.

Just an update, I decided to go into a counseling since I have been feeling down lately. I believe that this is what I need to be able to relive my faith. Hopefully, I'll recover soon enough.
