Locking back in
Just got a new job recently and it really threw me off my grind these first few weeks. With the Lord, my diet/workouts, prayer, reading my Bible, everything. I guess it was the schedule change and being tired after I get home. But I can't keep goin on like this, I'm deciding today by writing this, I'm locking back in for God and everyone. I gotta get back in that desert like Jesus did and battle temptations. It's gonna be hard, but my joy can wait. It's either pain now or pain later. I gotta shrug off my all my past mishaps and stop holding onto all this guilt. Imma make this season of my life public so y'all can hold me accountable. I've been gone awhile from here too but I'll start interacting again in the community. God bless you all and I pray he gives us the strength to overcome these trials.

what translation do you guys use?
Hello just wanted to ask something, What translation do you guys use i have watched videos on what translation people use they mosly say kjv or sometimes esv but when i use kjv it takes me 2 hours for me to understand 3-5 or 2-4 pages and i changed my translation to nlt for the past 2-3 months it’s been easier for me to understand and read, but this week i have been thinking about soaking up the word kinda like a sponge soaking up water and mostly when i read i just read to understand or just to read to read i wanna try remembering some stuff like that maybe every week i remember 7-14 verses, and right now i just wanna try new translations out maybe even use 2 translations then i can understand the meaning and maybe a meaning i didn’t know even know or think about , Sorry for the long post when i type something i get carried away, hope you guys have a blessed day . Amen

I had the same problem with the KJV, I remember I first read the book of the Job in KJV and realized I didn't understand anything I just read. I switched to NIV after and never went back, read the whole Bible with it. I'd recommend it.
What's something you're proud of yourself for this week? 🌟
It doesn't matter how small you may think it is! What's something that you did that you think made God proud👇🏾

Submitting myself to God's will and not worrying about things I can't control as much. I've been praying for peace for awhile now and I can finally see it materializing. 🙏 I've learned God doesn't just give us peace or strength, he IS our peace and strength when we trust in Him.
Trying to build discipline by putting this here
I dont want to put this here because I fell again but I was doing good Hod was taking care of me I hadn’t really let any intrusive thoughts in I was reubuking them and it was great steady waters and I got attacked in my sleep now and later in not even by noon I fell today but this was 100% me I chose it it was wrong I did bad and it wasn’t worth it whatsoever and ik God doesn’t hate me but I’m so mad and disappointed in myself I don’t want the uplifting comments saying stay strong and stuff because I wasn’t relying on God and he even gave me a way out I could’ve left the room and still chose it please pray for me father what I did was wrong thankyou for convicting me I’m sorry I grieved you and your Holy Spirit please work on me change my heart lord it was absolutely disgusting I wanna repent and change and I need you lord I’m sorry please forgive me and help me God give me strength for now on I wanna rely on you and choose you your so good to me Hod even when I’m bad and I pray that you be with your other children here and help us to surrender and rely on you father I love you please guide me for you will and glory in Jesus name I pray amen

I definitely got attacked in my sleep too last night. I was having all kinda weird lustful dreams, and when I got up this morning I didn't immediately pray like normal. Right after that I got attacked like crazy and almost went down that rabbithole. All I can say is praise be to God for getting me out of that before it got ugly. I immediately went and prayed and read my Bible, now I feel better than ever. My take away from this is that prayer is more powerful than I ever realized. Without submitting ourselves to God in prayer continually, we will definitely fall to lust sooner or later. Jesus is our strength and our lifeline. John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."
Fighting against slothfulness
Yo everyone I hope everyone is having a blessed day so far. I need help fighting against laziness because I keep binge watching Christian content which is good but I want to change my way. I don’t want to be lazy anymore. I want to find a job that is good. But rn I don’t have a job. Is there something I can do. I know reading the word everyday is important. Any tips? Have a blessed night 🙏❤️❤️✝️✝️

I find setting goals every day to complete helps me build that discipline. Praying during set times, reading the word for a time everyday, getting a workout plan, even eating on a diet has helped me greatly with having self control in all aspects of life. I'd suggest also getting active hobbies to keep you occupied when there's nothing else to do. Boredom is a massive problem for people who struggle with lust and gluttony, we gotta keep our mind busy and hands busy or we'll get attacked by our flesh. And if you want, find a good job so you can really serve others and show your good fruits for Christ.
