Advice

Over one month, I have been struggling with faith. The busyness of life and school (with finals around the corner) has caught up to me, and I haven’t even been praying nor been reading my Bible at all. I still go to church and my weekly youth meetings. However, I notice that it’s really impacting my daily life.

For instance, I live with roommates and as much as I hate to admit it, I struggle with the temptation of using others’ belongings or items without permission or in secret. For example, a week straight, I was using my roommate’s facial cleanser without asking her. It’s not about “it’s just a facial cleanser,” but it’s more so about my act and doings that are at wrong.

There were other things I struggled with, such as eating disorder, which I cannot deny there were also secretive moments where I took a bit of my roommates food. I want this to end.

Goodness, I should even be praying about it now instead of posting this on reddit. But what are your thoughts and suggestions? What should I do? I don’t know if I can bear with the guilt and shame. My roommate might have found out I used her facial cleanser, but she hasn’t confronted me personally about it. I deeply regret my actions.
