The Straight and Narrow?

How the heck do you stay on it... I mean for me I am not perfect and I know noone is, but I have such a HARD time staying and believing. Its like the worlds things call to me, and I love the lord with all my heart but I am tired of playing this game with GOD. I want to stay on the straight and narrow but am affraid of what the future holds for me, Like I dont know what God has planned for me....I have trouble reading the word, or should i call it laziness.. How do I get out of this forever going rut!!!???? Betty

Betty, I can soooo relate. I noticed the more I pray that the Holy Spirit remind to be in The Word, and the more I plead with him to burden my thoughts and create desire to be in the Bible daily, the harder satan tries to keep me away from the Bible. I have now put a Bible on my desk at work, (my bosses don't mind, nice, uh?), on the breakfast table, and next to my bed. It helped a little, but not enough. My husband is really good about being in the Bible everyday, (many times a day). I'm a little envious. shhhh, don't let him know. I love the Bible and love to learn from it. I hate the distractions of this world. Betty, I'll make pact with you? I'll pray the desire for the Word become overwelming for you, if you do the same for me? Deal?
