Prayer

I have already asked for help at the church a few times, and it didn't work. I really want to have peace in my heart and the certainty that I have received a new beginning, but when I kneel to pray and ask for forgiveness, I can't confess my sins and repent. I say what I think I did wrong and say that I am sorry, but it is nothing more than an empty word. There is no crying, no direction, no change.

No matter how hard I try, I can't. I find myself without direction, without strength, and each day sinking deeper into a bottomless pit. I am a living dead inside the church. If anyone can help me, whether in prayer or in any other way, I would be grateful. I just want to return, but I can't repent, confess... I feel like I'm trapped when I go to pray and try to get closer to God.

And there's still the damn pet sin most common among Christians, I think you already know what it is. Please help me, I want to return. I want to have my eyes opened to understand what I need to do, I want to repent and come to my senses, I want to feel the weight of sin, have the conviction of sin and repent, and believe in God's forgiveness, grace, and mercy, but I can't. I try to confess, but it seems like nothing in my head makes sense. My head is a mess, I am more lost than ever.

I feel that you need to forgive yourself as God forgives you. Romans 3:23 states that ALL have sinned and fall short if the glory of God. We all have no matter what it is. Do not put yourself in a special category. You are loved and you will mess up just as I have! Please try to keep praying. It seems useless sometimes, but answers will come not in our time most of the time. My daughter struggles with so much, but as angry as she gets and depressed about her life, she seeks prayer. She goes up and down, but it's always because she doesn't forgive herself and just lay it all on God.

Brother, that is exactly how the enemy wants you to feel! I cannot imagine what you are feeling with the horrible things that have been done to you!! You remind me so much of my daughter since she has been through that as well. She couldn't tell me until she was an adult so I couldn't pray or try to help. Give it to God EVERY day! Remember you are loved and He sees you and all will be done on His time. Please try to get to another church and pray that you can free yourself of the burden in your heart and mind. I share what's going on and the other person is in sin if they respond with anything other than love. My family is praying and sending the love of Christ to you

My brother, I am still praying for you and I've asked my family to as well. It might take time as God works in His time not ours. I know that's hard to hear, but His plan is best. Just know I will continue to keep you in prayer.

Read Romans 8:26-27...The Holy Spirit speaks for us in our weakest moments. Keep praying and do not let the enemy speak darkness into you! You are loved by our Amazing God and all of His children! I pray peace and rest in this time of trial. It sounds crazy, but we learn so much during our trials and you will feel and see His true blessings when you look back and walk away from this! 🙏🏽

Eu não quero jamais colocar a culpa em Deus, é só que a situação tá difícil de sair. Eu quero logo sair disso.

No tiene que ser una oracion perfecta, solo dile lo que sientes a Dios, solo dile que sientes que ya no puedes más, que quieres arrepentirme pero sientes que no puedes, solo dile lo que te ocurre como si se lo contaras a un amigo, y recuerda que el amor y la misericordia del señor es muchisimo mayor de lo que puedas creer o imaginar, el deseo del señor no es que te sientas culpable o mal, aun con tu pecado, sino que con tu confesion hacia el y tu confianza te puedas sentir en paz, que Dios este contigo y recuerda su eterna misericordia, que asi sea por siempre, Amén. PD: a que te refieres con el pecado mascota?

I am so sorry! My daughter went through years of separation from God resulting in drug/alcohol abuse and sexual sin. She felt an actual hatred of God. It took me, my family, my church family, my small groups, and prayer partners 12 years to bring her back to The Lord. She still struggles with her feelings about God. She knows He loves her, but has problems trusting Him. He hears you and as long as you keep going to Him, He will work it out in His will. I'm praying for you and I hope you can find someone you can trust to help you through this🙏🏽
