Confession - "StrugglingTo Stay Alive Spiritually " by Jewel There are times in our lives when we struggle with staying healthy spiritually. Just like we can get sick in the physical sense we can also get sick (weak) in the spiritual sense. If this has not happened to you yet, praise God. If it has happened, we pray you have come through it and are on the road to being spiritually healthy again. – Mrs. G |
| Here is one SISTAHS
story. 1. I am a Christian and I have always loved God, but lately I have not shown it to Him. I have not gone to church, I have not read the Bible, I have not prayed. I am too ashamed to pray and ask for anything. I am not only being an unhealthy Christian I am also a really bad sinner (in my eyes). I do a lot of things I really shouldn’t do. I tried the hardest to be a good Christian and I failed. I really failed. I failed to stay in school. I failed to finish my dreams and I hate myself for letting myself be brought down. I failed. I failed. I failed. |
So then what. . . 2. I am tired of blaming everyone else for my mistakes. I blamed the school when I didn’t get back in. I blamed my Mom for calling me selfish. I blamed my sister for missing me too much. It is my bad decisions, not anyone elses. |
| 3. I have to apologize to God, for all the mistakes I have
made. I hurt you Jesus. It is still good to know you still love me after all the things I have done. Thank you Jesus for being there and for loving me. |
4. There have been times in the last 6 months when all I wanted
to do was cry. My despair was so deep that I just wanted to die. Really die. I
realize I was just feeling sorry for myself. "Those who live according to the
sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in
accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. You, however,
are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in
you." Romans 8:5,9 |
| 5. SISTAHS is letting me take a look at myself. The group at
SISTAHS helps me realize where I stand. It is an inspiration to be part of that ministry group on a regular basis. To all those girls out there, I know how you feel. Stay strong and realize your worth! "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13. |
