Guys pray for me I'm stuck in sin I promise God every time I'll never do that sin again but I keep doing it I can't stop thinking about sin I'm in a giant spiritual battle please pray for me I try not to sin but he is stronger than me. Help me please. God bless you all, and thank you...
Heyy Robert,I don't know what you fighting for but just know God never get tired of forgiving sins,try hard to turn back to him,His grace will help you overcome whatever you fighting,, I know it's hard, spiritual journey is not easy,but keep fighting, keep praying, keep rebuking that spirit....
He that is in u is greater than he that is the world
Nope I can't afford it I need him every minute of my life . I love him with all my Mind, Heart, and Soul. Stay Strong my Brother, and keep telling the truth about our Father in Heaven. God Blessed you and may be keep you Amen.
Not for you then.
Amen! He pulled me outta misery and showed me grace...i cant stop praising HIM🙌🏼
How do you love God with everything you are
@@L0ver_ofJC Well for one thing he pulled me out of the pits of Hell,and he turned my life around and am so grateful for that. There is a special kind of love you feel when Jesus come in your life ,and that's how I love him with all my Heart. You would not understand if you have not gave your life to him. But I encourage you if you have not gave your life to him just try him and see. Taste and see that the Lord is good . Jesus makes everything alright I am a child of the king and I know that . He's soon to come if you are not right please get it right with Jesus before his return,cause you don't want to be lost ,and go to Hell it's not for us it's for the devil and his angels. You Be Blessed Amen
@@carolineoneil652 thank you so much for the encouragement
BROTHER, MANNNNNNN!!!! The Lord truly spoke to me through you tonight, I've been stuck in this cycle lately :/ and guilt builds up daily, THANK YOU FOR SHARING JESUS ✝️
Same
Yes I've being going through the same! But i know Lord Jesus will help us out ❤❤
Same:(
SAME I’ve been feeling guilty and like God left me or smth
@@lunar7237God will never leave nor forsake you. The enemy likes to spin lies so that you may fall away from the Word and reenter back into the world. Leading all whom believe his word away.
Our feelings fluctuate so much. Bible talks about feeding the spirit and feeding the flesh. The more we feed the spirit the more our feelings will follow. I've had times where I didn't want to do something that I knew would be good for my spirit and I did it anyway and then gained some crazy supernatural energy. "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" good stuff bro. God Bless
Thank you for that encouragement. I’ll give that some effort.
This is how I feel today!! I don't want to read my Bible or pray! I feel like I am disconnected from God and lost! Also I feel like I dont belong in the church I go to and this world I feel alone I'm going through a spiritual depression!!!!! I'm tired I feel like nobody wants me!! I'm sad!!!!!!

Psalm 30
1 (A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.) I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
God wants you and loves you!! 🤍
You probably feel the way you do because there's actually no god. It's mythology and fear. I stopped delusional god belief because I never heard anything but my own thoughts, reflections, common sense, and critical thinking when or I prayed. As I gained the confidence to think for myself, I stopped praying and started believing in myself and those who loved me. My and their voices are what I heard and listened to, plus the many positive and insightful voices I've read and heard throughout my life. No god required.
This video changed my life❤️As a teenager I've been going through intense depression from college and peer pressure.I need God in every aspect of my life. I can't afford to not pray to him!!
I talk to God and pray all the time. Even when cleaning, driving, hanging out. Not all prayers and talking has to be on my knees to have a relationship with him. I pray on my knees and I talk to him about things throughout the day. At work, I go to the bathroom and pray for help if I'm getting angry. There was a message sent to me once in a video saying I'm not on there by accident. I was pretty much told to shut up and listen. I was talking to him so much, I never stopped to just listen to what he had to say. He used another servant to tell me that , it was a general post but I knew it was for me so I stopped and listened. Sometimes all we have to do is be still, silent and listen to him. Sometimes I still get carried away talking to him. He is my Holy Father and Creator , he's also my Dr, my best friend , my dentist , my everything. Praise God in Jesus Precious name. praise Jesus and Praise The Holy Spirit. I'm learning Thank you for this video . It helps a lot . 🙏❤️🤗
❤
Thanks brother! I needed this. I’m actually in a funk right now. Your video opened my eyes.
Yea we all fall into the funk from time to time. Praying for you!
7 things you can do when it comes to God.
1) Read the bible
2) listen to the bible
3) See movies about Jesus
4) Pray
5) Meditate on his word
6) contemplate with or about God
7) memorize certain Verses.
Church Service important
We have all felt like the one sheep Jesus will come and find us
Definitely been under spiritual attack the past couple weeks and finally coming back out. I didn't fully stop entering his presence and reading the world but definitely wasn't as on fire and it was a lot less than normal. Finally getting over the sickness and exhaustion in my body that had me taken out for these past two weeks and grateful for this perspective. Number 4 gave me chills... Thank you for sharing!
Same here girl!!
God bless you brother in Christ!! This message is right on time, because I’ve been dealing with this dilemma lately. This is going to help me get back on track and I hope anyone who is in the same rut may be helped as well! God bless you all abundantly💕
When I feel this way, it’s a clue to me that I have been stressing too much and I need to just be still and listen for God. “Be still and know that I am God.”
Didn’t even know I needed this. Thank you. Thank you Jesus.
It will happen. Don’t beat yourself up. If you can’t do 25 minutes do 2 minutes. Don’t let “all or nothing” thinking make you backslide !
I always plan out my bible readings and prayer. I do ask God to help me press through when I'm feeling tired or sleepy. I still do it. I like spending time with God and reading the word to gain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. I have a thirst to apply the word to my life more and more everyday.
Honestly, ive been going thru such a difficult and mentally anguishing time, and I told myself that I would try my hardest to draw near to God more than ever. I ended up recoiling from Him, thinking that He won’t want me back because i’ve haven’t been the best servant. I stopped praying and reading, and when I do, it barely takes up 10 minutes of my time. I scrolled thru my recommendations, and this came at the right time. I don’t know. May the LORD bless You regardless. ❤
My relationship with God is deeper than my feelings!! Needed this, thank you! 🙌🏽
Right on time. Praise the LORD! HALLELUJAH!
Thank you brother for this video. Im a Pastor that fell into this spiritual slump and needed this encouragement. The spiritual warfare attacks all of us. God bless.
My oldest son have been struggling with this, I just sent this clip to Him. Again thank you sir man of God.
This is so helpful. Those Satanic attacks really do weigh down on the prayer life if we let them. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Hi Nick, the strongest words that grabbed me is,
Do it for God. Those words brings tears bc it is God we serve, it isn't for ourselves. We most likely are laying up treasures in heaven, which is a blessing, but our prayers for what is on the heart of God, are powerful.
I really needed to hear this. Thank you Brother. I'm in a funk right now and feel lost. I should not let the Word depart from my mouth, but meditate on it day and night so that I may be careful to do everything written in it. Then, I will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8. Word y'all!!💯💯
I'm sad to say I didn't really do anything,but it had gotten to the point that God made me realize the comfort I was looking for was reading His word.Slowly,page by page,Of course it was a slow progress and I am still going through it but now i know that if I ever need a time of pure peace,comfort,and knowledge about God.Its in the bible.It was God's work.
I always want to do these things, but for years I have been under attack when I want to spend time with God, and it has caused a huge downfall in my life. I feel like me giving up could be dangerous.Now I'm the one who's in need of serious prayer
Great message! Sometimes the questions in my head overpower The answers. Some answers I can’t find in the Bible.
Same 😢
Be still and listen in silence. Challenge the spirits it's God speaking to you . He talks to us all the time. Just be still and listen after prayer . It helps a lot. If your not sure it's him talking to you, say the lords prayer and if you hear him , it's him. Discern the voices that are evil, your own and which is his. Then you will know his voice, you will have no doubt who's talking to you.
I’m going through this right now, been asking for help & this video came into my feed….im taking this as a sign..
Man I’m balling crying, thank you I needed this. All my life, I just been kinda about this energy like, “I’ll find out for myself” or “I’ll experience it for myself”. My family raised me to be a Christian, but I never got into Bible reading. Always been a prayer, but was never sure if I was being listened to until a couple of years ago when I was delving deep into “Spirituality” and whatnot. Regardless of what I’ve believed in though, I’ve always known I’m extremely blessed and that I’m being watched over by someone! The way my life has been, there’s no way there’s not.
I say all that to say maaaaaaan I tell you these words HIT. “God felt like it”. God felt like saving my butt so many times, when I wanted to find everything out for myself, experience it all myself. God felt like keeping me close even though he knew I was unsure, he knew my intention was pure. To find the truth. “The world doesn’t want you to read your Bible, the world doesn’t want you to pray or have a connection with God.” Man if there’s anything crucial I’ve learned about “the world” in the last 10 years, it’s that the world is confused, and they don’t know ANYTHING.
Just, thank you man. I started praying again a few months back, and ever since my life has improved so much, still is… and I just have been grateful everyday of my life cause I know I’m extremely blessed. Now I’m at a point like, Ive started and stopped reading the Bible so many times in the past. It’s a mental battle for me, but I will do what I can to push through. Thank you again brother ✊🏽
This was just what I needed brother Nick. I have been in that zone for months now and have felt so guilty and unworthy. I never thought of it as spiritual warfare but could not figure out what my problem was with picking up my bible and reading a chapter or a few verses of scripture (I always become intrigued when I start reading and have to make myself make time for something else). Also getting adequit prayer time has been a problem as well. I do pray when I go to bed but can't bring myself to have a prayer session during the day. Worst of all, time is soooooo short here on earth now that I feel it is more important than ever to do both!!! Thank you Nick I am going to start my five steps immediately so I can put satan behind me and get back on track with my Lord and Saviour!!! God bless and keep you.
Thank you. I pray this stays in my heart. I will listen to it many times. I have not been praying, worshiping and reading my bible like I use to do. I was filled with shame and worry of the unknown. Just now I prayed that I need to get answers to my prayerlessness. And everything you said in this video, is my current state as a child of God. I thought I wasn’t humble enough that’s why I donot pray. I thought I was filled with rebellion, that’s why I don’t study the word. This has bordered me a lot. And now I am glad I get to listen to you. Thank you.
Great tips, all of them! Number 2 especially. As in most of our problems in live, we have to recognize that the underlying source of the problem is spiritual.
Thank you for the video. You help me realize what's going on. It came out of nowhere! But I refuse it in Jesus name! 😊
You should pray and read the Bible like it or not. You depend on prayers and the word of GOD. Don’t be controlled by your feelings. Toughen up
This video helped me. Long time church goer finally understanding how to properly devote my time to Christ. thank you for making this video. I needed it badly
Amen Brother, God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've been going through this. Thanks friend, your words do help.
thank you brother. i am having this going through daily untill. God gave me a sign now and that this video. thank you once again. praise the lord.
The worst part wasn't that I didn't pray. The worst part was that when I kept on praying anyway, it felt more and more like a chore, and I ended up hating it so much I just couldn't force myself to do it.
Only when I opened to God and told Him directly "I don't care about You, I don't want to pray cause it feels like a chore, and I'm not even sorry for it", only then He started to really change, reshape my worldview. Had to stand in an absolute truth, and stop pretending to be holier than I really was.
I like every single video in hopes of these messages reaching more people. Jesus is coming.
Thank you my brother. I needed this Because there has been a time such as today where I haven’t read my Bible or do my daily prayers on my Bible app. And I couldn’t afford it because the enemy was attacking me. I was so down. But I eventually picked up and got back on my feet. This video helped me get closer to God. Thank u. Stay blessed my brotha. Amen🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
Number 4 hit HARD! Phew! Watching this everytime I feel this way. Thank you and amen to this message!
Thank you Nick. Thank you God.
This has helped me a lot I’ve been feeling like I have been worshiping,praying,and reading Gods word thank you so much
Bro thank you so much for this video. Before school started I was so super close with God - literally reading my Bible THE WHOLE DAY for days , God literally appeared to me and I felt so peaceful but now that school started, I told God myself I will still be in a relationship , but then gradually, I went on my phone, more and more distracted by the world Instead of my Heavenly Father. I soon realized this and I tried reading my Bible but I couldn’t, I just was tired, literally fell asleep trying to read my Bible again, praying I still do though , maybe not in the day but definetly before I fall asleep every single day. And now I felt this feeling like how you described in the beginning of the video how God could be mad or disappointed in me that I spend more time on phone than with Him, and thinking how can I spend time with God all of a sudden after spending more time on phone, but I still know that I NEED to spend time with God, read Bible and talk to Him because times are close, he is coming soon. And now at this point, my heart just feels anxious and stuff. So I’m going to FORCE myself to read my Bible and remind myself of all the good God has done for me. God is good, God is great and I’m gonna keep praying for God to remove this spiritual attack and so that I don’t backslide as a Christian. This happened before but not again.
May God continue to bless you for addressing this issue which can challenge us all .
In prayer we come against every foul demonic spirit that is distracting in hindering God's from having a fruitful relationship with him. We can't stay at Spirit down find it in the name of Jesus
God bless ❤️ you this 🙏🏽 is exactly what I'm for a very long time 😢. I pray 🙏🏽 that God can get me out of this spiritual warfare
Thank you so much for this. I understand completely. I thought it was just laziness. I have a hard time reading and comprehending what I read. No matter what I read. Having ADD doesn't help. But I will keep trying. Even if its just a little bit of reading a day.
God bless you Nick. See you soon. I believe we are going home soon 💜
I have ADHD so I may be able to relate! What I’ve been doing that works for me before reading the Bible is that I look on RUclips to give me an explanation of the book I’m reading or what the overall message is, and then it makes reading and understanding the book so much easier because it has context and I understand what’s going on. So then, I can hear Gods message to me so much more clearly. I hope this helps. ❤
@@kpsalm Thank you so much. I will try that. I also find if I read out loud I can concentrate better. God bless you 💜
The rapture is upon us for sure, try not try worry about reading in terms of understanding. We get Wisdom from God through Revelation not from being academically smart. You can only know God through your heart and soul. Try the best you can and the Lord will reveal to you according to your faith in him. Obedience is the key which was spoken of here, if we follows God's laws, commands, repent if we fall short and ask for forgiveness after confession of Sin to the Father then he will forgive us. Keep the faith, every day is a war and the Devil never has an off day so we should strive to also be fired up every day. Sometimes we may fall short but pick yourself back up and keep on Fighting.
@@charlesm5080 Thank you Charles. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul. With every fiber of my being. I know He died for me and rise on the 3rd day. I talk to Him daily, repent daily (not that Im a bad person, just to say Im sorry for anything I have done said or thought that was not pleasing to Him. And a big ~ please forgive me of my language while Im driving. Also if I know that I have sinned. I also have a devotional I read daily. I know I will be raptured, its just I feel that I am falling short when it comes to reading the bible. People have told me that they see Jesus' character in me. I hope so.
God bless you 💜
@@sandyjohnson2679 ruclips.net/video/EiXQmeuHTOY/видео.html
I usually put this on when I'm struggling to read. It's the entire Bible in a dramatic reading.
Usually when I'm under spiritual attack I have it on constantly even when I'm sleeping.
I needed that talk. Didn't think about spiritual warfare. Thank you. I'm going to try hard to read my Bible and study. Thank you
Thank you so much. I am restored
I typed that topic and lo' and behold your video was the first to pop up. Glory be to God! Feel blessed to have come across it.
Thank you.
I always find myself in this constant cycle of wanting to be close to God. I'll be persistent about praying and doing my daily devotionals. Even reading scripture even when it's a struggle to comprehend at times. During those times, I really felt a connection with God. Everything felt different. I would have this unexplainable sense of peace. My attitude would be different. It felt amazing. Then, at some point, I would begin to slowly drift away. I wouldn't feel like praying or doing my daily devotional. I'd skip a day. Then two. Then three. A week would soon follow. And then, as you mentioned, I'd start feeling this sense of guilt. I'd start thinking that God was disappointed in me. And then, guess what else happens when you stray away from God? You start indulging in worldly things all over again. That bad music? You start listening to it. Those bad words? You start saying them again. Everything else follows. That's what happens to me every time I drift away. Spiritual warfare is real.
It doesn't matter what mistake you made. Go to God. He will make your crooked paths straight.
God bless you.. I'm in a rut... Everything you said makes sense to me now...I can't thank you enough for this.. God bless you and God bless us all.. amen 🙌✝️🙏🏼
I needed it. I am Facing this situation right now and it’s making me very sad 😔😔 thank you so much. God bless you 🙏🕊️
Obedience
Needed this one thanks ❤
Wow thank you for this video, came at the right timing!
Thank you so much. Me knowing that it’s a spiritual attack got me back to my feet
Thank you Nick. I needed this!
Keep me in your prayers
I so needed to hear this… thank you so much. God bless you!🙏🏾❤️
Thank you.. I needed this. What a messy situation to be in...! God bless you
Praise God, my Brother… You really ministered to myself and I’m sure so many Kingdom people who deal with this struggle. It seems like with great intentions to seek and put the Lord first every day, we are constantly attacked with and distracted by so many things of this world and feelings of monotony. But I’m so glad I found your video. I have written down the steps. I have it saved your video in my favorites so I can look at the video when I need to, and I’ve of course, subscribed. God bless you and keep ministering to people … so many people need to be reminded to keep pressing on … even when we don’t feel like it. May God continue to bless you. 🙏🏼
Thanks man! You got me up from the floor today. Peace. 💜
Wow, needed this❤😊
God bless you my brother 🙏🏿
I'm worried about myself. I see myself watching and paying attention to the signs but lacking a strong prayer life or a very strong relationship to reading the Bible.
I could be falling away.
And I could die and never be forgiven for it.
How are you now?
@@brystoncollins5416 getting better. Jesus has reassured me
Thank you nick for the advice. I’m going through this right now. It’s hard for me to open up my bible and pray these last couple days.
Great topic and video! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for this❤
Im grateful for you Nick. Thank you for this. I needed it
Man I really needed this today 🙏 thanks you for this video.
This is GOLD! Thank you Bless you !
Thank you so much bro, you are a blessing to the body of Christ, its my first time to watch you and I am a preacher married for 26 years, a mother of 3, 2 young men 24 and 21 and a girl who went to be with the Lord. I'm so touched with your message, im telling you young men, God is in this, this is not your doing, it is The Lord's doing, the young people need to hear these messages. I pray for God's protection and guidance by His Spirit. Stay in this until God says other wise, because remember: *YOUR ANNOINTING IS YOUR PROTECTION* your covering, your protection is already where you are supposed to be, you go out you remove yourself from the protection of God. Keep going man of God.✝️✝️✝️
Just Do It! ✅👍🏽❤️🔥
Yeah. U understand❤i feel it
Thank you brother! I was scrolling through my RUclips channel and couldn’t just pass up your video. Thank you for sharing. Really blessed me.
You’re different like me. I’ve always known I’m supposed to do something on a pretty large scale for Christ to save souls over to Him. I’m being hindered by shame, self doubt, lack of consistency… the enemy stays trying desperately to keep me from fulfilling my potential through God and sadly I just don’t give it my all.. please pray for me that I can be stronger & more bold for God bc He ALWAYS shows up for me. Even when I’m in the seasons where I distance myself He still always shows up for me when I need it. I’m so thankful for my savior.
*"ALL"* GOD'S PEOPLE GET INTO THE "FUNK" YOU JUST DESCRIBED, YOU HANDLED THE SUBJECT WELL, BUT SOME TIME WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON THE LORD GOD - WAITING IS HARD, BUT WE ARE TOLD IN SCRIPTURE MANY TIMES TO DO JUST THAT; *"WAIT"* - YOU MADE A GOOD VIDEO, MAY THE LORD GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!!!!!!!
Danke!
Edited to add: My issue is a bit different from the topic of the video. I loved the content, and am happy to be a new subscriber.
Hi. I’ve fallen away from organized Churches and, shamefully, from reading my Bible. Although I do pray and believe.
In November I drove from NJ to NC to visit my father, who is strong in faith. Each day of our visit began with a focus on God’s word. When I woke up, his Bible was on the dining room table with a no-pressure invitation to read, discuss and learn. It was really nice! Before I left, I took notes on passages that are important to my Dad, so that I could read them when I got back home. … and it has been really special.
Here is my problem, a struggle I observe that I have. Last week I started a Bible reading plan. So I set out to do it and have taken my time in reading, trying to understand, looking through the cross-references, and not rushing through it. Last week, for example, on Monday I read Romans chapters 1-2. This week I am supposed to read chapters 3-4. When I looked back over chapters 1-2, I found that I literally have no recollection of what I previously read.
I’m disheartened, that I focused, tried hard, read the chapters slowly and uninterrupted at the beginning of my days. Yet I can’t seem to retain what I read??? That scares me and makes me sad. I don’t know what God will do with me when “my time comes”.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I write this with a grateful heart, to God, and to anyone who has taken the time out of their day to read this. … A sincere thank you. 🤍
Yes I have that same issue!!! It’s like it just leaks right out after I read and studied it. Im still figuring it out myself so I don’t have a solution yet. I’m actually fasting right now to get my passion and recollection back 🙏🏽 I’ll let you know how it goes 14 days from now
I have this thought for you. The word needs to come to life for you while reading; otherwise, it's just words. You're reading for relationship, not to complete a chapter book. The Holy Spirit will need to guide you. The words on the page will literally come alive and the Spirit will speak to you. This happened to me and it was only through ONE verse. I'll never forget it. Don't be hard on yourself. You're seeking and you will find Him. Amen.
Turns out my whole life I’ve been playing a game I didn’t know I was in. Then by the time I find out about God late in life I’m too broken to do anything about it. I’m not a reader and certainly not a praying person and have no desire to do so. Great!
Well, I'm not a jogging person, but if I don't ever step out of my house and take those first running steps, I will never become a jogging person either. One learns to speak by speaking, to cook by cooking, and to pray by praying. There are different seasons in the prayer life, but the trend is that the more you pray the easier it gets over time. If you can pray even just "Lord have mercy on me, a sinner" or with the words of the Lord's Prayer every morning (just an example), that's already a good start. Later, when you don't need to force yourself to pray this prayer anymore, you can also read Psalm 51 (most Psalms are prayers and still in use in some churches) and pray for your family, your friends, co-workers, politicians etc.
Kingdom of God is within you...cain't run away...so do good...abide in him as nuttin else you can do...pray constantly means thanking him for everything...blessing and refrain from cursing...we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we capture every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
This is just what I need right now. Thanks.
Thank You Man, May God bless you, In Jesus Christ Almighty Name, Amen ❤️☦️
God bless u for this message 🙏its that today i had no the desire to read my bible en to pray en then i came to RUclips en searched what can someone do if he or she doesn't have the desire to pray en immediately i landed on ur video which has given me courage now to pray after listening to it en i discovered that its the enemy satan that doesn't want me to pray so in order to overcome this enemy if i don't have the desire to pray then i have to ask God to give me the desire to read the bible en to pray then i will have it i Jesus name🙏🙏🙏.thxs

I so needed this
Number 4 is good!!
The Prayer of a righteous person is effective ,means to follow the commandments of God. Sin makes it hard for God to hear it creates a wall
Thank you man
Amen! ❤
Praise God I needed to hear this!!
I really needed this. God Bless You
That's what i always feel.... sometimes I think maybe left me alone in this world
I need help. I don’t like reading it. Usually I fall asleep or dont read at all bc I find it boring. Also understanding the way it is written is hard .I have to watch Bible stories for children to learn more and be interested and I’ve been in church for years since I was 5. 😢
Try the NLT Bible. It's easier to read. Be honest with GOD. Let him know how you feel about reading his word.
Pray, and ask GOD to give you strength, and help you stay focus.
Oooh 😮
The thing is i love reading the bible sometimes to the point i just want to read it but i have to put it down because i have some things to do . But sometimes when i feel like readong the bible maybe in the most random things for example i was painting then it will came up . I will have a hard time to put down my paint brush since i like what im dping and then all of the sudden i feel like i have to read the bible , i will fight with my flesh to do it because i dont want to grieve the holy spirit . Sometimes i have that thought oh i have to read but i have tp this and that to be able to concentrate maybe clean a little bit then later i will feel bad because i do all of those before reading thw bible
Amen.I loved your inspirational speech
