Struggling is okay.

Hey. Sorry it has taken me so long to write another blog. In my first blog I said that I would be truthful, well I have been struggling a little bit the past couple weeks. God has given me a test and I failed. Being a christian is hard, it is, but it is so worth it!! You have to give God time and I have not been doing that lately. I have been reading my bible some but I have not found myself praying lately. I constantly think about how I failed God recently but I think that is because I have not asked for forgiveness. I'm so embarrassed to even talk to Him. But not only do I feel that I disappointed God, I feel that I have disappointed some of my closest friends. God knows that I failed His test, but Jesus will forgive me if I ask for forgiveness so what better time to ask for forgiveness, than now? So here it goes. And maybe you need to ask for forgiveness for somethings you have done. Jesus will forgive you if you ask forgiveness He loves you, never forget that.

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have failed you recently. You asked me to do something, I did it half way and then backed out. I'm embarrassed to even pray to You right now. You sent Your son to die on the cross for me and everyone else and I can't simply obey You. It's not fair to You. I'm truly sorry and I am coming now, Jesus, to ask for your forgiveness, to let me know I am forgiven, to help me move on, and live for You, Jesus. Thank you for dieing on the cross for our sins. Love you. In Jesus name, Amen.

Even as Christians we struggle. So many people judge us and make it seem like we have everything together and that our life is perfect. Well wrong, we have a life just like everyone else, we have hard times, we struggle not everything is perfect. But what is different from us and everyone else is we have Jesus to be there with us and help us through it. Jesus will never leave your side. When you need help ask for it, when you need wisdom, ask for it. It is as simple as that, He will be there to the very end, but the thing is when we have Jesus in our lives there is no end, with Him we have eternity. It is so easy to ask God to come into your heart, He is longing to be with you, He is just waiting for you to give Him the okay. Yes, you will sin, we are sinners, but we need to try our hardest not to. and when we do we ask for forgiveness, we receive it, and then life goes on. Jesus keeps no record of wrong. When He forgives, He forgets! He knows it is hard that is why He was sent here so when things get ruff He can be here with us through it. Though, do not sin because you know you will be forgiven. God knows when you are doing that and really what you are doing is playing God, and that is not a true relationship. Yes, you will mess up sometimes but it's okay. I know I was to talk about why I gave my life to Jesus in this blog but I just feel that this is so important. God is not asking you to be perfect, He's simply asking you to surrender and to admit you need His help. God loves you and he just wants to be part of your life. Don't we own him that much, He created us and He loves us more than anyone else could ever try. His love is unconditional, what more could we ask for. In my next blog I do plan on talking about why I gave Jesus my life and what happened after. It's a testimony that I know God would like me to share with people. The main things I want you to get from this is, we all struggle, but with God we are not doing it alone. He takes every step with us. God will not bring you to something you can not get through. When you sin ask for forgiveness and try not to do it again.Well I love you and so does Jesus(:

Bible versis(:  (I get these from the message bible)
'God-devotion makes a country strong, God-avoidance leaves people weak." Proverbs 14:34
"Human strength can't begin to compete with God's "weakness"." 1 Corinthians 1:25

One more prayer before I let you go.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for each day you give us on this earth to be with our families and friends and to spread to word to the hurting. Let the hurting know you are there for them. If there is someone struggling because they feel that they messed up big and they are not good enough for you, let them know that You love them so much and You forgive them for anything they have done in the past. Touch the hearts of the people Lord. I pray to You in Jesus name, Amen.♥
