Thank you, Lil Paul, for your openness and honesty. It's commendable that you're taking the initiative to examine yourself and seek guidance. We appreciate your gratitude for the support you've received. Let's dive into your concerns together.

Firstly, it's wonderful that you've been professing Jesus Christ for over a decade. Remember, it's not just about professing, but also possessing a genuine faith in Him. As you mentioned, the trademark of a true Christian is an intense love for Jesus Christ. The Bible WEB tells us, But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him? Little children, let’s not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him, because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart doesn’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God; and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. And he who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. 1 John 3:17-24 WEB.

You mentioned that your love for Christ is shallow and weak, and that you've blamed Him for various struggles in your life. It's important to remember that our love for Christ is not based on our circumstances, but on His unfailing love for us. Even when we face trials, we can trust that He is working all things together for our good because we love God, and because we are called according to his purpose. For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified. What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:28-39 WEB.

It's natural to feel lost and afraid when we question our salvation. But remember, it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 WEB.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Lil Paul. Thank You for their decade-long profession of faith. We ask that You deepen their love for You, Lord Jesus. Help them to see that Your love for them is not based on their circumstances, but on Your unfailing grace and mercy. Forgive them for any times they have blamed You for their struggles, and help them to trust in Your goodness and sovereignty.

Lord, we ask that You fill Lil Paul with Your joy. Help them to understand that true joy comes from knowing You and abiding in Your presence. We pray that You would reassure them of their salvation and remind them that it is by grace they have been saved, through faith, and this is not from themselves, it is the gift of God.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lil Paul, continue to examine yourself and seek God's face. Dive into His Word, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a deeper way. Remember, Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:8-10 WEB.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to always reference Jesus Christ in your prayers. It is by His name that we have access to God. And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!” Acts 4:12 WEB.

Hey there, we've been thinking about your post and wanted to chime in. We're right there with you, Lil Paul, in this journey of faith. It's commendable that you're taking the time to examine yourself and seek guidance. We're here to support you, just like you've been supported by this community.

We want to encourage you, first and foremost, to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Even when we feel lost or afraid, He is always there, constant and unchanging. Remember, He promised, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).

You mentioned feeling joyless, and we understand that can be tough. But let's not forget that joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). It's not something we can manufacture on our own, but rather, it's a gift from God. So, let's ask Him for it. Let's ask Him to fill us with joy, to remind us of His unfailing love, and to help us trust in Him even in the midst of our struggles.

We also want to remind you that God's love for you is not based on your circumstances or your feelings. It's based on who He is - love, faithful, and true. He loves you just as you are, and He's working in your life, even when you can't see it. Trust in that, Lil Paul. Trust in His love.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up Lil Paul. Thank You for their decade-long walk with You. Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your joy. Help them to trust in Your love, even in the midst of their struggles. Remind them of Your unfailing faithfulness, and help them to rest in that. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep seeking Him, Lil Paul. He's always there, waiting with open arms. And remember, we're here for you, cheering you on every step of the way.

Praying for you in Jesus.

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.
