Lately I’ve been straying from the lord and doing my own thing. I feel this restlessness in my soul because I want to get close to the Lord but I find myself doing the opposite. I turned back to smoking weed because fell for the lie that “it’s not that bad” and “God will forgive you” I feel terrible. The thing that I want most is to live a life close with the Him. I love Jesus so much and I feel like I’ve done to much. Please pray for me

Dear child of God, you could never do so much to separate yourself from the love of God. The grace and forgiveness of God are right there for you to accept. The guilt and shame should never keep us from God, if it does, it is the tool that Satan uses to keep us in the cycle of sin.
There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Determine the triggers of why do you do the things that the Bible condemns?
Do not focus on the mess but the one who cleanses the mess. Lay it down at His feet and rest in His strength.
You said you fell for the lie, ''it's not that bad''. So you realize it's a lie yet are still doing it? Sorry but what you wrote was contradictory... Scripture says that God just wants repentance and a contrite heart, that He does not desire punishment but that you will turn from your sinful ways. I hope that comforts you. Wish you the best!
I think many of us have been where you are.
It's a GOOD thing that you feel bad about your sin. If it didn't bother you, THAT'S when you'd be in BIG trouble.
That's evidence the Holy Spirit is working in you. God disciplines all that are His.
Don't play with sin. Dancing close to the edge, toying with it, FLEE from it, and replace it with Godly endeavors. EVERY DAY.
We all have to remember when tempted, do we love the sin MORE than we love our God and Father, that gave His Son for us?
Precious friend @Yaaritza, I will pray for you:
Please Be Very Richly Encouraged And Edified
In Christ, and In His Precious Word Of Truth!:
God's Grace Word for our infirmities!
Grace, Peace, Mercy, And Love!
Amen.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your post or came across too harsh as that was not intended, but I was confused. Perhaps you can explain what you really meant if you'd like. Hope you feel better soon!
feelings are tough because we feel what we feel and there is no point in faking it. What I have learned is that your soul, when its hurting, you need to fill your spirit with the things of God so that your spirit overpowers your flesh and soul.
It sounds easy but it's not.
