Day 0. I do this same song and dance every 2-3 days. Longest I ever lasted was a week. I got saved back in May of 2022. All those nights crying about how I wanted The Most High to save me from myself. He saves me and this is what I do with his grace? Willingly fall back into the same stupid crap that I begged to be saved from? If I do this then he died for nothing! Is this what I’ll do? Let his sacrifice be in vain. And what’s worse is that IM A MARINE! All that talk about integrity and honor, and everything else but look at what in doing! Is this the kinda guy I wanna be for my Marines?!! When is this gonna stop?! I have to stop I cannot live like this! I’m going against everything that I should be as a Man!
God calls us to suffer righteously. When we suffer for this goal, we show Him that we can suffer for His love, and we indeed gain favor in the kingdom for how much righteous suffering we can withstand without damaging ourselves or the world. Steadfast, we will make it!
