Do you ever feel like media talks to you

like posts on pinterest or twitter are direct callouts about your behavior, telling you to either try harder or you’re going to hell. Or sometimes that everything is going to be okay. As if it flips back and forth between hope and despair.

I don’t want to set it off, but it’s a scary feeling to feel like you aren’t trying enough, or to feel like you’re just short of being good enough to go to heaven. I feel like I’m trying to improve myself, and also that I’m lazy and digging myself into a hole. It feels like the devil is trying to take me, and I don’t know which way is up, or what to do; other than to try and spread love and joy, pray, and improve myself daily, but it’s so hard to hold myself to that.

any advice or wisdom is appreciated

All the time. I just want this entire thing to stop. Sadly, I have no advice because I am fairly convinced that I cannot dismiss most of these events as mere coincidences.

If that is the case, I’m sure that if we are kind to each other and believe that it’ll be okay. We’ll wear this on our sleeve and trust we’ll be okay.

Best of luck to you, friend. It’ll be great and you’ll be great.

You are not good enough, thats the point.

"Come unto me all ye weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11:28)

Rest in Christ, no need to work yourself to death

I might add that we are all not good enough...and that’s ok. God understands and still loves each of us unconditionally. I have pretty much come to where I am accepting that this life is going to be a struggle. Don’t know why it has to be this way but I do trust God so I’m going to try and do my best. Hopefully I’ll grow in Him and this will get easier over time. When I was a kid and my parents took me to church I always thought it was strange that Paul started his letters by offering the Lord’s grace and peace. After my scrupulosity got so bad, I began to cherish that greeting and am so thankful each day when I get to experience God’s Grace and peace. Hope you’ll have a good day. Blessings to you.
