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.

Sometimes God speaks to us when we least expect it.
Case in point - today I was browsing my YouTube feeds and Tom macdonald's God Mode came across my eye. In it he explains how he went from a literal zero, so far down on his luck that no one would have thought he'd become the GOAT of rap. He pulled himself up, straightened himself out, and began to make so much money he no longer does anything for cash. He retired his mom from her job, bought his dad a Porsche, hired his sister when her work got too much and moved her to a place near to him. He is fully independent, rejects record deals because he doesn't need them.
And at a certain point, he said he just wants to inspire people, to get them to realise they can do what he did if they put the work in and focus on what they are best at. It made me pause and see, despite the mess I keep getting shoveled onto me, I'm still here, still kicking, and still finding ways to try and succeed, so im gonna start writing again (fantasy comedy fwiw). If he can make bank being irreverent in rap, why can't I doing stories? Seems no one else is creating much in the west that isn't a reboot after all.
