It’s a lonely place being stuck in the middle, you know what I’m saying, the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other…
This brings a world of confusion. You know you don’t quite belong to this world, but you’re not fully in it with God either. You’re a Christian but it’s hard to be a really good Christian, and you wanna have fun and do things of this world, but they’re not quite as fun because you know that it’s not what God wants. So that sucks. It’s lonely and you know what’s right.
It’s a lonely place being in the middle. Maybe it’s hard to admit that you struggle with not wanting to be friends with this world, it’s fun and exciting but it also brings shame and prayer-less ness. We all know what happens when we stop praying… We fall into sin and more shame and it’s just a downward spiral. Prayer-less ness leads to an ungodly life and more shame, and then depression. it’s hard, you’re down and your depressed, and you know what to do and it’s even harder to do it now. It’s heavy.
Being of this world and loving the worldly things feel good only for a moment, but then you’re back at home at night and in the morning you feel shame and sadness. It’s a repetitive cycle and it’s hard to break. But luckily for us, God still loves us, and God is there for us, and he has never left us, and he will not forsake us. Repent and turn back to him. He is waiting.
Bring yourself back to God, pray when you don’t want to, read when you don’t want to, spend time with God when you don’t want to. Bit by bit, even if it’s just a small verse, even if you don’t want to. You know in your heart that God is the only way, but the devil is holding us back when this happens. The devil wants nothing more than to take away your prayer life. Prayer brings us closer to God and if we can just make ourselves pray we can overcome the devil and make him flee. God is there, he’s just waiting.
Start your journey from being lukewarm in the middle to pleasing God today. Pray, pray, and pray. Open up your Bible or open up the Bible app and finally click on set those reminders. It’s hard, but we need to remember why it’s hard and we are stronger than the devil. You got this, one day at a time if you do what God wants, and you know what God wants… All of that shame and all of that depression will melt away. God does not want that for us, he does want us to obey him and to talk to him and to rely on him… And once we start doing that he Will reward us. You know this. God is the only way to happiness!
Get back on track. today. Do not wait.
You’re not guaranteed more time in your life.
Much love.
