Well...resently I had been finding that I was slowly falling away from God. I would continually pray to Him, always asking for forgiveness, and for Him to wash away my sins. However, everytime I did that, I'd find that some way or another, I'd completely go against my word. I'd always do somehting that I knew God hought was sinful. And everytime, following whatever I did, I'd ask for forgiveness, and the routine would continue. Finally, I just stoped myself, and said, "You have to break this pattern. You need to do something". So I spoke to God for a long time, asking for forgiveness again, and promising Him that the routine was over. After that time, I just stopped. I stopped the sins that I was comitting, and I just matured in the eyes of God. I believe that I have completly changed, and i am very proud of what I have done. I just wanted to ask...Has any one else gone through what I have??

I think all growing Christians have expiriences like this. Here's some advice: Don't ever think "I'm forigiven, everythings ok, no worries.". Don't settle for where you are. CONSTANTLY seek God, constantly spend time with Him. I've been trying to, and the Lord Has blessed me with happiness, perseverance, and has strengthened my faith. He's brought me this sense of peace I can't really explain. But this peace can be lost, so one must constantly seek Him.(Not that I'm saying you won't be saved, but things will be a whole lot easier.) Once you givee your life to Christ you don't just put your life on autopilot, you still have the controls and you have to make tough descisions and will go through rough times. He won't nessacarily take them away,but the Lord will pull you through them if you seek Him. Don't ever give up faith.
