Subject: Help!!! I am spiritually lazy! Author: Taneshia [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:14:01 11/19/05 Sat I need help. I used to be sooo intimate with God. I made sure I made time to pray and grow. Nowadays I plan to spend time with Dad (God), to seek Him early, but seem to always get distracted or I won't prioritize. I surely don't want trials to bring me back... I know what to do... I have just become lazy I think... or something because I have the want to but I am struggling with the will too. HELP. Pray! Advise! Rebuke! Something because what I been doing ain't been working. I feel how I feel about the gym. I struggle to get there but when I finally do there is nothing else I'd rather be doing. It's the getting there part. When Iget into His presence there is no place I'd rather be... it's getting there that's the issue. Taneshia [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

We fall into a cycle of where something bad happens, we're good again for awhile and then fall back out of it. What I see as a good help to all this, is observing the Sabbath. It always brings me back to the core of my beliefs. It draws me back in after a long week in a seemingly secular world. Another thing that helps, is a group of people like us who come together to discuss ideas and beliefs. I remember when I was first starting out after massively changing my beliefs around. I had so much to learn and didn't really know how to get the answers I needed. Fortunately, Jacob, Jennifer and I all had conversations and studies that harbored an excitement that led us to contiually learn more. We were driven by each other to seek out answers. Remember, we're still available to chat with... we'd love new people to discuss with, to inspire, and to learn from ;) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
