Our lives are not all set to have the same pathways and outcome, some of us may do well and excel in certain areas where others may fail, to get true direction and follow the path set for our lives we should seek the Heavenly Father for what His will is for our lives to see what He would have us to do.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV
Although some of our life paths may be more difficult than others God has given us the resources we need to get through this life, these resources include prayer, fasting, praise, worship and knowing we have God, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit on our side and as our defence.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:1-3 KJV
Small progress is still progress in your life’s journey, sometimes certain things take longer in your own life than they would in another persons life, allowing God to mould you into how He wants you to be is a sign of humility and an understanding that God has a specific plan for your life, your willingness to humble yourself and allow God to work on you may not always be easy but it is a good step forward, God will see your heart and that you do want to change from any negative ways that you may have and that you do want change in your life.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
I would encourage you to seek The Lord with your whole heart, repent of your sins and be saved. Amen
