I broke up with my bf and now I just want to pursue God fully. I feel bad giving God the left overs of my life-- the broken pieces. 

 

After being hard headed and experiencing things for myself I see that everything he says not to do is for our own well being or withholds is always for the best. 

 

I see that now. 

 

Idk i feel bad I dont pass my tests or trials. I always always always fail. 

I feel like a worthless christian. 

 

What ways can i commit myself to God? ( besides reading, praying ect)

Learn from your mistakes. We all make them. Maybe this will help: 

But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:33 RSV

Now sister devote yourself in seeking God everyday. Devote yourself to prayer many times per day. Read and study the word in faith. Trusting God will open the word to you by the holy spirit. Remember God call us to a holy life and paid for this by Jesus hanging on the cross and jesus sufferd greatly. Look to him daily and expect him to be there. He said I will never leave you. He is not speaken falsely.  Be holy for I am holy. God is holy and cannot be seen because his light would destroy us. He sends the holy spirit to us to live in us. We are the temple of God. No greater love then someone lays his life down for us. Jesus became sin for us so we can become the righteousness of God. It is his righteousness that we have. We can go onto heaven only cloth in Jesus righteousness.  And its given to us through faith when we believe in him. So look to him everyday. I am very glad you left that relationship because it was unclean. Paul wrote touch not the unclean and I will be a Father to you. God instead of judging us in our sin will instead pour out blessings as a Father does to his children who love him. So keep walking with Jesus our savior.

Repent from any sin you've committed in connection with this relationship.  Give God what is leftover, all that is broken, and move on with him. 

It's really very simple. He's full of mercy and kindness - all he requires is a contrite heart. We're all worthless in our own righteousness.

What do you expect to think or feel after confessing with repentance?

My sympathies for the break up, but you made the right call. We commit to God internally by reading the Bible, prayer, and trying to keep His commandments. Externally we commit to God through actions that extend beyond ourselves and into the world, like sharing God's message with others, supporting the Church (in the sense of believers as a whole, not necessarily a local church building. This support can involve a lot of different things!), and demonstrating Godly love to the rest of humanity. You seem to have a good grasp of what to do with the internal parts, you just need to do them.

Bear in mind that you have a very young child to take care of. The circumstances of their birth might not have been ideal but they're a very important part of your tests and trials now. God knows your circumstances. He's fair and just so He doesn't expect you to change the world. Just do your best with raising that child and see to it that they're provided for and get a good spiritual upbringing. Other than that, I don't know what your church involvement is like. But if you're not involved with a church I feel like it might benefit you to try to figure out some things you can do on the external end, maybe after things blow over on the pandemic front.

1. Give God your life 100%.

2. Trust and have faith in God. 

3. Focus on God and not on the world and what it has to offer. 

4. Make sure that everything you have and everything you do glorifies God.

If you feel this makes it stronger to do it aloud then by all means do it. I often pray aloud.  Keeps me more focused on what I am saying/ what I want to say.

This is such a succinct answer. Thank You.
