Faith
I sit here and think of what god has giving me i can't help but to want to cry for i know i have fail him and wonder when he will turn from me. How dare i say this when i clearly know that my God will not let go me. Oh dear god i am falling and i cant seem to get back up. I know i am a sinner yet i cant turn away from this world who calls my name and drags me by the feet. Lord i know i am a sinner but how can i forgive myself. How do i come back to your arms that once held me. I thank you for all you have done for me and ask that you give me the strenght to keep going and turn me from what i am living before is to late.

Re: Faith
Change your confession and it will open a door.
Don't ever say can't. Have you ever heard, "Can't never could, won't never would."? I was raised on that. And good thing. My mother learned the spiritual significance later.
First step, you can say, "It is soo hard." "It is such a challenge" and especially "I need God's help."
But don't say can't about any struggle you are having.
That's the first step. The second is similar. Ask God to change you. Admit your weakness today, and ask him to change you for tomorrow.
"I am weak" is quite different from "Can't"
And the third step is to be expectant that you will find the strength. Rather than condemning yourself when you fail, continue to look for the strength over and over again. Expect GOD to make the changes in you. Continue to ask him to change you. Confess your sins and ask that he give you strength and change you. Quietly. Over and over.
And let them go. Focusing on the sin is like focusing on chocolate. You can't give up chocolate by thinking about it constantly. So give it to God. And fill your time with other things.
Hugs.

Shame and blame are the devil's tools. With God ALL things are possible.
