ive been away from God for quite awhile now. Oh i had small conversations, but certainly not as it should be. I feel so unworthy and like i have done nothing in my life for God, exept, he helped me raise 8 children, who only 1 has been faithful to God, as I can tell. I am 66 now and am not brave at all to talk about the Lord. I guess the fear of man brings a snare? one lady even told me she had suicidal thoughts, and Im so ashamed i didnt help her . now i have not seen her since that time. I am not at peace with God as they talk about the peace of God is beyond understanding. I have did the bes i can in repenting, but is it enough? i feel like nothing is enough! I feel lower than a worm. All i know to do his plea the blood for his mercy.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore (as a result), as by one man sin entered into the world ( Genesis 3), and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

all man (woman, children) on this earth are sinners . Jehovah ( Psalm 83:18) is not looking for perfection.

he's looking for *grief (repentance) and repentance from within ( Ps. 51:4). that inner thought and mind.

that inner regret and groaning because of bad . but what if a person keep sinning willingly? Hebrews 10:26; 1 Corinthians 6:9,10

however, what can be done to run in a way that doesn't cause

a big stumble or fall with self or others?

Psalm 1:1-3; 2 Timothy 3:16,17 study and correct

Luke 22:40 prayer

1Corinthians 15:33 Abandon anything that is influencing bad behavior.( Proverbs 13:20)

*Example of major sin:

2Samuel 12:1-18; Ps. 51:4

I hope this helps. there is more... but don't want to

overwhelm. ( Romans 7:14-25)

Sister Christi, may CHRIST in us grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

You can NEVER do anything for God; YOU BECOME ONE WITH HIM, he is everything; SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH, he needs nothing or no one.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

He came To GIVE and TO DO everything; SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH, for us.

He doesn't do this because of who we are; he does it because of who HE IS, our FAITHFUL Father.

He is CREATING sons and daughters in HIS IMAGE; Spirit, Life and Truth.

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy SPIRIT, they are created, thou renewest the face of the earth.

1 Peter 1:23 ....You are BORN AGAIN (created) by the WORD(S) (SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH) of God ....

Isaiah 63:9 In all their (creations) affliction he (Christ) was afflicted, and the angel (Christ) of his (the Father's) presence SAVED them (creation): in his (the Father's) love and in his (the Father's) pity he (the Father; through Christ, the angel of the Father's presence) SAVED them (creation); and he (the Father through Christ) bare them (creation), and CARRIED them (creation) all the days of old.

BELIEVE

Philippians 1:29 For unto US it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ (Spirit, Truth and Life), not only to BELIEVE ON HIM (Spirit, Truth and Life), but also to suffer (in the flesh) for his (name) sake.

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another (no one, we are all alike)? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive (nothing, all is a gift (given) of God)? now if thou didst receive (be given) it, why dost thou glory, as if thou didst not receive (be given) it?

Christi, hello. Raising 8 children is no small task!! I hope this scripture will help you.

Jude 1:24 -25
