I Have Something On My Mind

Lately I have not been as dedicated to god as I should have. I've been gossiping, thinking bad about my sister and mother, fueling my heart with hatred again. Didn't attend church because I thought ''What's the point?''. I have to say sometimes I'm not sure if I should follow God as I think is right or how the bible says. Because I started to feel bad about everything I do and asked myself ''Does God want me to question my existence? Am I doomed to fall into darkness?''. I live in a big house with my family, it's old but beautiful and yet I feel I don't deserve it.

You see, when I moved to India with my husband, I saw all the poverty and even though people that make the same income there as in my country, they can't afford half a beautiful apartment. Yet, it seemed, that the people in India are happier because they have family they look after and care about. My husband makes good money and I enjoyed having wealth and not worrying about paying my bills for once, as I was poor too, but seeing other people not having as much as me made me feel ashamed of myself. Shame that I didn't share, shame that I had become what I hated.

I was very shy few years ago, I let people use me and I never stood up for myself, I didn't have enough money to go out with people and often borrowed some from my brother. Yet I had less worries, now I'm fighting with myself and I don't even know why.

One thing I learned from reading prayers daily is. “ i can’t control everything”. I found peace through hard times because I can’t control everything. The prayers appeased me.

@Jammy I think I understand, I do try to control everything so much that I lose sight of life. I guess something new is learned everyday.

Worship can bring peace. Our faith is not meant to hurt us. You are where you are, and you are doing your best. If it doesn't seem like enough, send a gift to someone through the World Vision catalog.
