I was raised in a God fearing household, believe in salvation and formed our marriage on that bond and raise my kids to have prayers, morals, Bible stories etc… but my reliance on God is sad. I’m of the “fix it yourself no one’s here to help” mentality. I’m at a crossroad professionally where I continue down a good path or pick something similar but unfamiliar that may potentially be better later. How do you approach God with a plead for guidance (I know it’s a simple answer) but feel like a hypocrite since you’re not really great at maintaining your own personal relationship with Him.

There are many types of Christians. Some who feel they walk with a friend. Some who lay their head by still waters. And so many, many more.
For me. Jesus is a warrior. Sword in hand. Slaying demons and monsters. For me, not only did HE save my soul, HE saved my life. Almost 3 decades since HIS strength and power are what I asked for the first time I truly prayed. ... and I was heard. I am grateful.
