Seeking Council from the Great Counselor

Lately I have been struggling big time.  I have seen myself set goals and knowingly destroy them.  But then I quickly came to the realization that my goals are not going to be met in one day and that I certainly would not be able to reach these goals without help from my Awesome God.  I realized that they are going to take time and I just need to stick with them and pray for strength and for the ability to prioritize them.  Something that I also find interesting in my life is my ability to hold back.  I hold back from a lot of things and for different reasons.  Sometimes in my chemistry class I hold back because I feel like I'm never going to understand it so why even try.  And especially with God I hold back.  I have not yet fully grasp the concept of many things.  I hold back by not praying out loud because I feel as though I wont say the right things, but you know what who cares because I'm praying to God and for God so no one else should matter in that circumstance.  I also hold back by not stepping out of my comfort zone and not giving God the chance to mold me and make me a willing servant.  I also found that I give my best in other areas then for Jesus my Lord.  Okay the One who created me and this world for me to live in, and I do not give Him enough time.  That just does not seem right, if anything it should be Him that I exert all of my energy to, and it should be Him that is on my mind, and it should be Him that is my main focus.  The good thing about all of these "bad things" is that I'm able to see them and acknowledge the fact that I'm lacking big time, but nothing is impossible for me.  Nothing is impossible for anyone.  If you have a goal, seek council from the Great Counselor and allow Him to help you with the areas of your life where you are lacking.  Persevere no matter what with the help of Christ.
