I am very discouraged today. Some problems just get me down. I have felt lonely today and wanted attention from places I dont need. I wishI did not miss that ....I fell in love with things I shouldn't have and I hate that. I have prayed for strength and for focus to keep me on the right path.

My step today was about falling down and I have. I was doing so well last week and then I went back into some old habits and now the hurt is back. many of the verses talked about how I am being deceived and how satan makes everything look so good when it is all a lie. I know these things but I have trouble turning my back on it even tho I know I should. I do want to be in Gods graces and in his will. I will pick myself up and keep going. I want to want the right things in my life (if that makes any sense). Please continue to pray that God will show me his TRUTH and give me joy in Godly things and take away the want for the sinful things in my life.

sbennett, we have to die to ourself daily....this means putting aside what we want and doing only what God wants. Taking away our own selfish desires and place His desires before us.

I'm sorry you were feeling lonely today. Anytime you are lonely...it is time for you to spend more time with God and other Christians. Come here to the Oasis...and fellowship with us....find a soul that is hurting and needs some encouragement and reach out to them...so much you can do to help the lonely feelings subside.

Keep pushing through the steps sis.

luv ya

Praying for you sister.

Just like the program said...when you fall down, just get back up and keep going. Apply grace. We sometimes expect to be all there when God knows we struggle and fall and are tempted
