Greenie,

May I ask how 1 Cor 7 did not answer you or address your situation?

@allthegoodnamesaretaken... or anyone else for that matter

I feel like I'm the seed in the shallow soil or the one thats being choked out by the weeds. I really want to find the right way to have my relationship with JESUS, but I fail all the time. I'm constantly mad either at myself or everyone else and I cant seem to let go of my anger. sometime I even feel like the pharisees like I'm just putting on a show...but other people and books I read remind me that its a slow progression and JESUS is working on things within me. I repent daily and seek gods grace and look for the answers to my issues, but I'm a very impatient human and need to learn to rely on GOD and his timing and not my own. It is best said that I am my own worst enemy. sorry if that didn't give you the responds you may have been looking for but its the one I deal with day in and day out

Have you ever prayed to God and asked Him to help you with your anger issues?It is all about faith.Giving God that drivers seat in your life.And then waiting to see what He will do.Give Him total control of your life.God does give us consequences for our falling out of step with Him.

yea, bopeep I pray daily for my anger and I want to step out in faith but I feel like I fail at that too...I just feel like a whiner all the time about every subject in my life and I'm sick of it.

God does not answer our prayers in our timing or the way we want him to answer.Maybe He is testing you to see how you are reacting in some situations or if you are being obedient to Him.

[Greenie]

yea I can see what your saying, I hold on to hope that I will understand his answer but I can't help but to feel like I'm failing

i rededicated my life back to God july 5 2015, i feel good about this but my wife is not really a believer.  One of my new problems is i feel like me coming back to Jesus is affecting our relationship because all's i want to do is read the bible or talk about god or look up stuff like in these forums or read books pertaining to Christianity. I know this takes away from family time or our relationship. Sometimes i feel bad about it and other days not so much. As i talked to people in my church a lot of them said "be still and know that i am the lord" (sorry i dont the book or verse that comes from) i feel like im trying to catch up in my faith. Others would say it takes baby steps, a slow process.

Greenie,

It seems like you are trying to get spiritual guidance from all and sundry. What you should do is sit down with the pastor and elders of your church and ask them for two things (1) someone from among them who is willing to spend time with you on a weekly basis to help you grow as a Christian and (2) at least two men from among them who would be ready, willing, and able to sit down with both you and your wife and openly and honestly discuss the spiritual conflict that exists in your marriage, in order to bring it to a resolution.  

The goal would be to share the Gospel with your wife and bring her to Christ. After that you both can be helped to grow through personal discipling.  

At the same time you should stop sharing your spiritual issues with just about everyone. Not all Christians have the spiritual maturity or the spiritual capacity to provide sound spiritual guidance, and that is why you have received a variety of views.
