For me, the best option is to read articles and books about people that have followed Jesus and what happened. It doesn't really matter if it's fiction or non-fiction, actually. I think reading the story, getting involved in the plot, and seeing what those people did makes me look at myself and ask why I can't do the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God's still working on you. I don't think any of us grow spiritually as fast as we would like. The main thing is hanging in there and letting God help us grow. One thing that is a challenge (for most of us) is getting into long term habits that are spiritually healthy that help us grow. About the only practical advice I can think of is to figure out what works for you spiritually. For some people, praying in the morning when they wake up works, for others it's at night before bed, for others it might be at different times during the day. The same goes for bible reading. For some it works better in morning or for others at night. Some people read a single passage or verse and think and pray about it. Others might read a number of chapters at once. We also have different needs with respect to having Christian friends and people we hang around with. There've been times in my life where my local church was it, at other times a small group, for a period of about 6 months it was an online forum. It's what each of us individually needs to do at a given time that is best for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd start there. Do you genuinely desire God and His will? Ask Him! He will be more than delighted to answer that prayer. Ask Him to change your heart and mind to one that seeks His will first, and that truly loves and desires to obey Him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
