I think I have trouble with consistency of emotional control and balance with regards to bible reading and simply like and direction etc. I cannot seem to get into a daily rythym of a simple set of tasks. 1) read a chapter or more per day of the bible, 2) Drink water not sugar etc or hot drinks/ food drinks etc (except protein shake etc), 3) walk when not working, 4) 5) 6) 7) etc.

I seem to go nowhere as a christian in all areas of life. I saw so much potential a few years ago but the covid lockdowns killed society and any ideas or will to do anything. I have no drive or clue anymore and simply do not want to wake up as it seems all life is over forever. I feel lost as to everything and the bible helps with nothing because it takes too long to read to get to a useful part. I really wanted to remember more useful stuff but God showed me "memory palaces" were anti-christian (of dark poor ways). So I draw a blank every day since the covid period about 2020 ish. It all seems futile and everyone and his buddy devil seems to be "winning" even though Jesus has already won.

I had such big dreams as a christian of what I could achieve or attempt to do, but nothing seems to go anywhere and now after covid I am more bitter and a worse christian than when I started. I am weaker and backslid during that time due to false info. I dont know where to go, what to do, when to do it, and see no out, no light. I have done the internet rounds for 10+years and seen nearly everything anyone would mention. So most likely a video will not help unless it is specifically of use and not a general sermon. Im the type of person who like being told what to do and when to do it, in a nice way obviously; or to have a book / manual / list of "get on with this" sort of things. Not, read and guess what to do from random videos of various sects of christianity, whilst not having resources or help in any "big way". That is a bit much for me. So this is why I am asking for prayer. Thanks.

I pray for direction and consistency as a christian and in training, and work, and health, and wealth, and progress in all good ways. I ask God the Father these things in Jesus name, Amen.

Dave. Do you pray? How long do you pray, if you pray? Scripture says:
Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV 1984)
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
All of life is a test! As believers we are tested to see if we will seek Him with all our heart!!!
Try praying until you break through to Him. Love Him with everything you are and you will find what you are looking for IN HIM! (This take perseverance) Don't give up quick...

I get your point, but in order to pray, you need something you want to pray for. I dont want to be here anymore for nothing as an odd-one-out isolated loser who was never any good at living anyway. There is nothing to pray for on earth except others salvation, health and money, and understanding, and strength against addicitons / sugar/ boredom etc. Prayer is always the same, words change little, and everything is covered in few words. Duration of prayer is simply self-willed brain re-progamming by "spaced repetition". It is not getting results, and never really has for me. It is self-mind-changing by repeated action, but I still have a ruined life / body/ future, and I see nothing in heaven for me or the new earth. What do I get except eternal sameness? No-one is saved from my actions and God is seemingly very absent / silent leaving me in ignorance and incompetent weakness always failing. As the loser I was born as. I would have been better off drinking myself to death. At least it would have been more enjoyable and productive with less wasted useless efforts and time.

@dave44 I am here to share hope and prayer with you. Not a clue of your circumstances and/or
why you seem so down, there surely is a personal reason, and no need to go into your life history.
I felt led to share some thoughts. I hope you read this through, calm your thoughts, and listen up.


'I would like for you to start with the above link and read through some of the daily inspirational
words posted. Life has many challenges, I pray you "listen" to some of the words with an open heart and mind.


'For the past decade, Twenty-Four Hours a Day has been my daily reading that has been instrumental
in guiding me into a more orderly and manageable life...believe it! Scripture has its time and place, but in
all honesty, this little black book has been my daily go-to reading that has influenced my life, and practicing the
spiritual discipline has brought my family and friends into a circle of love and a bond to behold.


'I pray you look upon this as God is my "friend" and we are here to listen, share, and be your friend.
I pray you come to a better well-being feeling and know all is well in the days before you.'
'Amen'

Brother! You need to Jesus for real. He is so real and moving now on the earth TODAY. I have personally seen hundreds of people healed and hundreds brought into the kingdom by the healing power of God and the love of Jesus! I have been in several countries on trip to spread the Gospel and seen how much hope these incredibly poor and desperate people found! This is amazing to see what God does and how He moves. I will pray for you to see exactly how He works. Hope comes when you look at what He has done and your love for Him grows! He loves you brother! Love Him back!!!

Father touch my brother and fill him with a hope in You that is unstoppable! Amen!

I believe you need deliverance. I really believe this because the feelings you are feeling are not from God. So either 1) you do not have the Holy Spirit (salvation) or 2) You have strongholds from demons which have taken over your mind.
Either way, I would think that it's best you go get some help from a legit spiritual counselor(s) who can lay hands on you and deliver you. I wish you the best.

Youll be lucky in uk to get any spiritual counsellors laying on hands as this is often only found in the uk from false churches on tv who make money. People are too timid and embarrasssed to do the "work".
