I am weak I am broken
Worldly sins hear them spoken

I can scream I can yell
Am I heard hard to tell

Was a test I have failed
One mistake that set sail

I know you're there you're not gone
I need to fix what i did wrong

What must I do to be forgiven
Without you I'm not livin

What must I do for your good grace
What must I do to see your face

At your feet is where I bow
I want you in my heart teach me how

I have sinned now what I must do
I asked for forgiveness and repentance from you

In this puzzle a missing peace
I need your voice all else can cease

I'm on a trail but need your path
Do as you must even rath

I have sinned you know Its true
All I know is I need you

I just am lost what should I do
Lord help me give me a clue

Please pray for me. I have struggles, and even though I have asked for forgiveness and repentance I'm still having a hard time reconnecting with the lord. I have failed and am confused on how I can be back in his good grace. My confusion is causing me to be angry at myself for not being able to understand. My pastor is retiring and church is going through a hard time. Its a small church and I feel like I have no one to talk to so I cant try to figure out what I must do. I have been trying to have the lord to show me what to do but Im only getting more confused. I know I'm missing something I just don't know what. Please pray , thank you

Hang in there brother. You have learned to ask of God. Now perhaps God is teaching you how to seek. He is still a near and present help and you remain under His care.
Jacob had to wrestle all night with God one time to secure a blessing. God is worth anything it may take to get to Him, and much more.
I'll be praying for you.

Thank you brother.
Always welcome.
God always has purpose in what He does. And He is always worthy to be worshipped. When I don't understand, I worship. Sooner or later He comes to receive it.

I have been in your shoes, so I can sympathize with your struggle.

What I write below is the hard truth that I had to learn.

The puzzle piece your missing is obedience.

“Why do you call me ‘lord, lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46).

You're in my prayers.

What must I do? It's been some time, I've stayed in his word and prayer. He's not leading me, and I'm really confused on the next step I should take to head in the right direction. Thank you for your prayers and help.

I wonder if you are trusting and believing that when you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness.

I am praying...

Your poem speaks directly to the heart of many who have experienced something similar. For me there was no quick answer and no easy fix. Sometimes all you can do is let go, give it to him and wait. This is difficult but we need to remember, He has not abandoned us and gives us what we need, even difficulties.

You are in my prayers.

You’re very welcome.

The answer you seek is found in Genesis 4:7.

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.

I'm still struggling. I'm so lost. I feel lost and empty. I continue to stay in his word and in prayer. I feel like I'm not being heard as well as not being led. I feel broken and down. Something is definitely wrong.

Don't give up brother. Luke 18:1...Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
I know your struggle seems great but God has not abandoned you. He is proving you. In the unseen spiritual world there is a battle going on. It might be helpful to read Ephesians 6:10 and following. God will see you through this and reveal Himself soon.
Praying much for you.

Brother, I know exactly what you are going through. I didn't have anyone to come alongside of me and encourage me through it. So if you like, I'll be glad to be available for you.
A couple of things to know and are important to keep reminding yourself of:
1. God loves you and nothing will separate you from that love.
2. God is good so whatever He leads you into has a very desirable end.

Remembering these 2 truths allowed me to be sustained in the desert. And that's where you are. And that's the place where God whittles away everything we depend on that isn't Him. It isn't easy but very necessary and there is no other way. Jesus spent time in the desert. So did Moses. And so do we.
Read the passage in Ephesians 6. It's time to armor up.

Now no chastening is pleasant in the moment. but grievous, but after it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those that are exercised thereby. Keep looking to the Author and Finisher of your faith, Wait on the LORD, Wait, I say on the LORD.

Amen. I do indeed need to armor up. The armor I have has holes and is missing some pieces. Thanks brother I needed to hear that

If we ask Him for forgiveness, He forgives us. More than that we don't believe what He has said!

Also if the sin is intentional (all sins are!!!) don't do it again! If our heart is planning on doing the sin again, I don't think He forgives.

My problem is that my heart isn't sensitive to know all the time how I have sinned, that is my conscience is too clear. My wish is to never offend Him in the least! Notice the word "wish". You are way ahead of me on that!

It is a struggle sometimes. The lord understands when we unknowingly sin. The more we read his word and understand his way, the more sensitive we can become. Pray to strengthen the holy spirit. Something I need to understand and remind myself is that every day is a new day. Morning prayer and meditation on the lord has shown me how it truly can effect my day.

Every sin counts. It’s not that He understands and sweeps it under the rug.

He is merciful, and yes we agree, ask the Holy Spirit to help me have a sensitive conscience. I think he wants me eventually be as perfect as I can be in this life. He and I have the same goal!

Well I never said it's swept under the rug....just that it was an unknowingly sin and he understands that. But no it does not get swept under the carpet. I pray we both become more sensitive to the holy spirit ☺️
