START WITHIN YOURSELF AND STOP LOOKING OUTSIDE FOR ANSWERS. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS INSIDE OF YOU, YOU HAVEN'T LOOK HARD ENOUGH OR ARE TOO SCARED. YOU ARE THE BEGINNING AND THE END.

To really be happy and to have peace, you must bring your personal will in to accord with that of God's. {Easier said than done...}
To grow spiritually, you must develop a mission for your life. What is your purpose? When you die, what will you have accomplished, that you can smile, and know that you did something or created something, that was important, implicit, for all mankind?
To grow spiritually, you must deepen your humility before God. You must enlarge the scope of your concerns, such that you have compassion for people on the other side of the planet from where you are; so that you begin to see what is common and beautiful, to all mankind. It is by acting to help others, that you really begin to find out, who you really are, and your strengths and weaknesses.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all other things shall be added unto you..."

Of course not, a relationship with Jesus Christ is the only way to have true peace in your life. Jesus provides salvation, guidance, hope, encouragement, love, joy,.peace and freedom from addictions. Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks, all you have to do is open your heart, and confess him as your Lord and Savior. Just let him in! No Jesus, No Peace! Know Jesus! Know Peace!

If that is your true condition. That usually means there are things in your life now that are a problem between you and God the Holy Spirit. Like some sin or sins that you have not addressed that need clearing up.
If that is not doing it for you and go back to square one.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

CrazyCelt has the right idea. You must do as Jesus and the Goddess said.
If you can not find me within your self . You will not find me without.
relax . do not try and rush or push the process as you may draw in to much Holy energy to fast and burn out your Physical mind.

we all come to god as sinners, with all the problems that comes with it. God has a plan for you. Confess your sin and ask for his help. He will guide you. Where he wants you to go. Keep your eye on God and not on the world, and you will grow into the person he wants you to be. God bless you. Good luck.

Discipline, discipline, discipline.
Hopefully someone here will quote an enspiring scripture for you. Stay strong. I lack discipline as well but know that the Lord is my key to happiness.

Read your Bible and pray daily, obey God, and more than likely where your lacking is in evangelism. Share your faith, and do it biblically and effectively. Learn more at http://www.wayofthemaster.com
