I have a confession
gmik:
Thanks for sharing your burden-I know that feeling all too well- just a fleshly thing I guess.
I try to just think about Jesus, his face, his love for me, what he went thru, how faithful he is.......you know, thoughts like that....reading a different version of my normal bible can help me during those times....what I will not do is condemn myself......and don't you either....
there is therefore now, no condemnation, in the Lord....our feelings have nothing to do with it...its a fact....we are in the Lord!! Woohooo!!!!
Love ya sis,
gena

I need prayers as I can feel myself drifting away from here, God, bible studies etc. I don't want it to be this way. I have not been prayerful either. I just seem too preoccupied with the things of the world. I find it difficult to concentrate on what I am reading when I am here at BT. Why would God do this to me? I don't want to be one of the many!! My beliefs have not wavered, just my further studies have decreased. Please ask God to draw me back.

Hey Eileen,
I'm going through a similar stretch myself... I feel like I'm on the edge of a cliff.. Certain things are bothering me and causing me to lose focus [nothing/nobody here, just things in my life...]
...But the last time I felt this way... I found Bible Truths! So my gut tells me God working deep within and is on the verge of opening my eyes to another amazing revelation... it's possible that this is what God is doing with you as well...
I recall what Ray said once [during 'Repentance' I believe] [paraphrasing...] that even when [it appears] God is working against us, He's working for us.
You're in my prayers,
Christopher

The worries of this world will choke out Gods word if we let it, I stand with you that the thorns of this eon have none effect on you and you prosper in Gods word.

Hi Eileen,
I know how easy it is for the cares of the world to squeeze God out. I used to think "it's OK, God will still be there when I get back. But I also knew that was not what He wanted. He wants all of us, not just the spare bit.

Thanks for all your responses. I appreciate your prayers. I sincerely pray that God summons me quickly before I completely turn away. I have been trying to return to studying but I can never seem to find a quiet place or time.
Eileen
