Free to Struggle

We are all in the same boat. We all make mistakes and we sin daily and God forgives us for that sin. We all could do better. We need to be aware of our sin and ask God for His help and guidance daily. If we try to do our best, then there is nothing more we can do. Because no one is perfect. Don't be so hard on yourself, but don't be too soft on yourself that you let yourself fall into that same sin over and over again. Find something to distract you from the sins you struggle with. Teach yourself to find good things instead of bad. He will help you. You just have to reach for His and have faith that He will see you through. Just as Peter trusted that God would pull him up to safety. It's not a one-way street though, you have to do your part. Every day is a spiritual battle. And we have to learn to say no to a lot of things that the world says are enjoyable. When in fact, it's the exact opposite. Be strong in the Lord. Don't be afraid to pray without ceasing. God hears you and He is never too busy to help you become closer in your walk with Him. Say "no" to the temptations you face daily. Life is a struggle but by God's grace and forgiveness, we are free to struggle.
