Praying for you always.
"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." - 1 John 2:1-2
I see Christ as an eternally flowing cleansing stream. If you are earnestly seeking God's forgiveness, go back to the sacrificial blood of Christ, repent, believe in all that He is, and receive God's forgiveness. I often have to remind myself of that last one especially. Maybe because I occasionally forget that God forgives His children unconditionally. Maybe because I sometimes mess up and see Him as human and figure I won't be forgiven and there's no way I can get back to Him. But that is a lie from the evil one because if we don't believe that we've been forgiven, it's very hard to cope. So remember, we have been forgiven, and this through the blood of Jesus. Just remember to receive it.
"Lives are power." - Kamille Bidan
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" - Christ the Lord (John 11:25-26)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.
Remember - the Lord will be with you - always.
