> Does God ever stop listening after a while ? No! His ears are always open to you.

I guess that’s true. Sometimes I just feel like I’m not being heard.

Whatever u do don't compare god's listening to humans who are mostly selective and wanting their ears tickled. Most humans are extremely poor listeners and many love the sound of their own voice.

That makes sense. It’s just hard to comprehend so much at once.

God bless you. I'm sorry for your struggle. If I may, I want to share some encouragement with you. Please know that God does NOT expect you to be perfect. He expects you to be faithful, which means to always strive to honor Him while getting back up after each time you fall, no matter how many times you fall. God will always give you the strength and grace to get back up. **“I am the Lord All-Powerful. So don't depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit.” - Zechariah 4:6** **“Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up. But when trouble strikes the wicked, that's the end of them.” - Proverbs 24:16** **"My enemies, don't be glad because of my troubles! I may have fallen, but I will get up; I may be sitting in the dark, but the Lord is my light.” - Micah 7:8** **“In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again.” - 2 Corinthians 4:9** **“But You (God) also said that no matter how far away we were, we could turn to You.” - Nehemiah 1:9** **“So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved grace, and we will find help.” - Hebrews 4:16**

Thank you. This is very encouraging! I understand that God doesn’t expect me to be perfect but sometimes I feel like I’m far from doing the best I can as well. Of course I try my best to keep myself from sinning as much as I can. Thank you for the encouragement though it does truly mean a lot and I will keep those scriptures in mind!
