Struggling with sin

Postby crazypackersfan » Thu Jan 14, 2010 6:36 am

I've been struggling with some recurring sins, that are really holding me back. I don't want to talk about what they are, they're stupid, and I don't want to do them anymore. I just could use some prayer to help me stop from committing them. I personally want to be through with them, I've just kept on slipping back into them.

Plus these sins which I went back to this week are really hurting when I had been thinking of 2010 as such a great and promising year. It looked like my life was turning around from the rut it's been in since December 2007, but my sinning has caused my depression to return and started getting me thinking negative about myself again. More than anything else, I want to serve God, and not keep on sinning.

Hopefully my life can be a lesson to others: if you start putting yourself first and committing sins, everything else just seems to become worse. It's pretty much the opposite of what God wants, which is to seek him first, and "all of these things will be added to you."

i've been experience the same thing and i understand you, it really hurts. but thank GOD HE showed me what to read.. psalm 103:12, "as far as east is from the west so as He removed our transgressions from us." so each time i wake up feeling convicted, i just remember that HE nailed all my sins in the cross with HIM... and then i sing the song "east to west" by casting crows.. it's really nice! GOD bless YOu!

I'll be praying as well ^__^

Whatever the sin is, try to rid your day of it one day at a time (so to speak) ^__^ Slow and steady is better then not at all, y'know ^^?
