If you follow God but your life feels miserable or that you are emotionally unhappy and unable to focus on your future or do what you really want to do, consider your walk with the Good Lord. Consider how you react to situations, and how you deal with people. Are you outspoken? Can you be pushy? What do you post on social networking sites? What do you read? What do you think, do and say? Be honest and find the parts of you that you don’t want there anymore and remove them. Negative actions will bring negative results – don’t doubt that – they may not be immediately obvious but they will be noticeable with time.
If you find that you are really struggling find someone to help guide you. Preferably someone who has been what you have been through.
God will always show the way. If you are willing and want change and a better life then you will have a battle on your hands. Removing old habits and old ways is not easy, but the results are like working the land. It has to be dug up, scarred a bit, turned over, stomped on, seeds planted (new thoughts, new habits, new likes and new ways) and then after the work is done the seedlings grow and the rest just blooms with new colours and exciting life.
Be motivated. Be brave, strong and courageous. You can if you really try!
If your Christian walk is not satisfying then you must do what it is to make it right. You cannot blame God or Christ, for it is you that must do the hard work, it is you that must change. It is you who is your real motivator. With Christ at your side you can get your life back in order because Christ has the answers!
All the best from
