Help me with my walk

Lacy, fasting is a good thing to do, but fasting means to deprive yourself of something to spend time with God. Yes, Christ fasted 40 days and 40 nights without food, water only, but Daniel fasted by eating no sweet bread, meaning desserts. He ate, but deprived himself of sweets.

I would recommend that if you fast, the only reason is to set time aside to hear from God. You can fast TV, music ect to take that time and spend it with God. Do not get locked in to church traditions and people opinions on what the bible says about fasting. Your relationship is just that. How much of God do you want. Its between you and he and noone else is responsible for your time with God but you.

I feel somewhat like Lacy. But I am growing every day. My problem is that I don't read the word every day. Sometimes I get so busy ( I am a working mom of a 1 and 2 year old), I get home and do household work then need to be with the kids before getting them to bed. So by the end of my day I am spent! And I feel horrible that I couldn't work in my bible study. I read my daily devotional every day so I get some reading of the word in but I feel like less of a Christian! Will God love me less if I don't read my bible everyday? I am going through somewhat of a dry season with my faith and I feel like I failing left and right. I am struggling with sin (cursing, judging others at work, doubting him and what not) and I continually come before Him to ask for forgiveness and try my hardest to get back on track but its so hard sometimes. I feel like I can't hear him speak to my heart. I try to stay so quite and ask him to speak to my heart and help me, but I guess my faith is weak.

However I am so happy to know He is there, in total control. Also thank the Lord his saving blood was shed to pay the price in full for all of my sins and that I am saved by his grace through faith in Him. Boy is this walk a hard one.

1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

WE MUST LOVE HIS written words and find time to read it and ask the HOLY GHOST to give us the Correct understanding!
Sure will sin, if we do not feed our inner man [Our Spirit]
WE cannot say we love our LORD , yet do not Lovew His Words and if we LOVE HIS Words , Then of course we will make time to read it And study it!

Not being smart!
But if there was a show you wanted to watch or a person you wanted to see or a game you wanted to play! You Could find the time!
In these last days we need to be busy for HIM!

I understand we have daily lives to live! But they and the things in them awill pass! The things we do that are counted in the eternal will NEVER PASS!

Not saying hE will not count taking care of our families eternal type work!
But we better obey HIm and feed our Spirit or our spirit grows weak ! And we will not Hear HIM well! and we will sin more!
