What constitutes a spiritual trial?
Could a period of spiritual dryness be, in fact, a trial?
Or is it merely an indication of undiscovered sin festering in my heart.
I've been struggling with feelings of inadequacy in being a believer.
I don't seem... "clean" enough to be one.
And I don't spend hours in the Bible daily like the rest of my family.
I don't feel the same convictions as deep.
Every time I meet someone new I feel twisted and conflicted inside.
I say I am a Christian- that's supposed to mean something.
That I've been saved and that I live a life that mimics Christ.
But I don't want to put on a facade.
How do I say,
"Hi my name's Alicia, I've done everything wrong in my life, but Christ saved me and I'm a Christian- but even though I'm on the right side now, I still suck at life and often make stupid decisions... sooo just because I'm a Christian does not mean that I'm wearing white and a really cool halo."
Does any one else feel like they weren't necessarily designed to be a Christian? Stupid idea, I know. But, ever since I re-commited my life to the Lord I feel like a defanged lion. I feel like part of me is gone and I'm bored and restless and unsettled and I'm looking for something new.
I believe this is what they call "Double Minded" - how do you get less Double Minded?
Do I just not have enough faith, or do I not want a righteous relationship with God enough?
