Brother will be praying for you. Hang in their God always finishes what He starts. Thankfully HE won't leave us the same.Heb. 12:10b "...but HE disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness." Heb 12:11 "All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness."

I've been seeking, reading the Word, praying etc, but then I find myself continually slipping again. It doesn't sound like much, but it's wearing me down. Please pray.Dear brother in Christ Jesus,I can relate to you in your case, i recently come back to fellowship with The Lord Christ Jesus through other believer like here in SI. i believe there is little revival happening in my heart, God only gives us what we can take at the time. I have read your post a while ago and have been praying along with my other personal request to God and guideance of His abundant wisdom to find encouragement to persue and press on my hunger for his grace and love.just want to share some little thing happened to me the other morning my husband ends up braking a small vase i have by mocking around with the children, i got upset i felt this vessel is like me others hurts me that they didn't even meant it. But God shows me through this i am a vessel that belongs to Him and he can put me back heals me, every fragmented parts of me He will heal it until i am whole again for His glory. He will put pieces by pieces of my life in passion and zealing of the Holy Spirit. It may take time but having assurance He will enable me to hold on in His grace. I hope this gives you a little bit of encouragement in some ways.Be bless stay in fellowship, remember we are like a new born baby can't be fed to much will end up choking.Thank you.

By J.C. Ryle: Have you forgotten that it is not natural to any one to pray? "The carnal mind is enmity against God." The desire of man's heart is to get far away from God, and have nothing to do with him. His feeling towards him is not love, but fear. Why then should a man pray when he has no real sense of sin, no real feeling of spiritual wants, no thorough belief in unseen things, no desire after holiness and heaven?
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
:-) :-D oh what a joy God can bring even in our backslidding state or got lost along the way of our little walk in life He is able to show us the way for He is the only Way for us to make it and along the lost course we taking at the time we got shown the truth about ourselves, as long we are willing to accept the truth. Because He is he Truth He is the reality of our existance, Only Him who died on the cross able to show us the way,the truth, and the life with out condemnation. And on that cross we come to exchange our dying life to abundant life eternally. John 14:6
