God will never give up on you, remember that.
Pray as often as occasion permits and seek to make yourself right before God. Ask for forgiveness from those you hurt and abandon your sin. Study the Bible, just start little, like a chapter a day.
Find God's Church, take your time study each religion with deliberation and prayer. It you don't think you've found God's church don't be baptized into any.
We love you and your Heavenly Father loves all of us, yes of course you too, more than we can comprehend. Remember it will take time, just commit to change, with diligence, peace and joy will come... you'll see yourself transform and become more the person you want to become and better understand who God wants you to become. He wants you to follow the example of His Only Begotten Son and our Savior... Jesus Christ. Study about Him, and remember to pray and expect to feel His love in your life.
Set goals
exercise
be as kind as you can to others
belief, hope, faith.
Hope that helps! Have a great Day! Hope!:)

You won't be able to become that woman in just a day. It takes time, and it is frustrating at times when you think you're moving backwards instead of forward. I'm still not the Christian woman that God wants me to be, but I'm trying.
Prayer helps. If nothing else besides a connect with God, it's a good way to get some quiet time to reflect on yourself and others.
Chruch as well. If, for any reason, your church doesn't provide the spiritual uplift it should, I recommend you find one that does. You'll find that when the church environment really speaks to you, you're life feels better.
Personal modifications. Normal healthy things like eating right, exercise, finding a hobby, and not swearing help out as well.
Good luck!

As a Man I feel I can honestly answer that question for you. I have granddaughters and nieces to which I have given the same advice so my answer is born out of love and not another motive.
Here it is. Read the Bible a lot, meditate on the Bible a whole lot, study the Bible and love God's word first. That is step one, step two I will leave to Godly women to help you with because I really have no life experience as a female and they will be able to spend some time with you in prayer and companionship.

There are a lot of biblical characters that screwed up big time, and God didn't give up on them (go and ask both St Paul and Moses!)
Actually maybe your special person is about to learn about forgiveness, but remember it will be his free will to choose whether to learn that lesson or not, either way, you have just been put through the refiners fire, and I am sure will be through it again, so keep smiling, and be comforted that you know you know a bit more about God's ways than you did yesterday

You need to have a relationship with God - that is not the same as knowing ABOUT God. What God wants (for your best interests!) is for you to turn your life over to Him. This means that you ask Him to come into your life and take control of it, ask for forgiveness of your sins, accept that Jesus died to set you free.
Prayer, bible study, going to church, associating with other believers are all good ways to learn what God expects of you.
When you pray, ask God to speak to you - then sit and listen for thoughts that 'come out of the blue' - many people don't take the time to listen - but He will speak in other ways too.. let your conscience be your guide (that's God speaking)
Stay strong, trust in Him always. He will never give up on you.
Make sure you are doing this for YOU not for someone else.

the first 2 or 3 verser that u search for advice from with are not any more God speaking, those are ordanices that Paul put in position to the church or Corinth by recognition that the temple had for celebrations such as prostitutes, abdomen dancers and such. Paul seen that the female's openion ought to take delivery of or stated including her husband at domicile somewhat contained in the temple the position women human beings were valued so little.As u examine (and learn the bible and the historic previous or the time) u will discover that God valued women human beings to the utmost degree and used them mightly in His works. My chum, wheather u trust the word or no longer that's major to have your data on the issue of your reviews. via ways, he wrote that letter to Timothy to placed across to the church and for this reason that's carried on contained in the e book of Timothy.

God will always forgive when there's sincere repentance. We all "really screw up from time to time" but a sincere, repentant heart is the first step to repair. There is also the issue of making restitution to anyone you've wronged. If it's a matter of broken trust, you have to earn that trust back.....which takes a long time. After all this, realize you have a fresh start with God and put Him first in your life. I've found in my life, if I put Him first & forsake any other idols, then I can please Him in most all other ways. I pray you don't beat yourself up, but you need to humbly continue in your walk with the Lord. God bless you and empower you to be all you can be.

Oh no, dear lady! I have NOT given up on you! I NEVER give up on ANYONE, even those who HURT ME, which you did, but guess what? AS A CHRISTIAN, I have an obligation and a duty, as well as a desire, to FORGIVE YOU, because I LOVE JESUS, and therefore I LOVE YOU! And so I do, OK?
Can we PLEASE work this out? I have screwed up too, and if we're gonna "screw up", we may as well do so TOGETHER! That way, at least we're going in the SAME direction! But seriously, yes! I CAN and I WANT TO help you become the woman God designed you to be! I'm not perfect! FAR from it! All I'm asking is for you to LET ME LEAD! Not"dominate", but HELP YOU, GUIDE YOU, TEACH YOU, and yes, LOVE YOU! God made men to LEAD, and women to HELP THEM LEAD!
We are ALL "EQUAL" at the foot of the cross! Got it? And by the way, please don't EVER believe that God would EVER turn His back on you! HE LOVES YOU FOR EVER! And I just pray that He will USE ME to love YOU in whatever way HE wants! OK??? Love ya babe!!!
PS.......You still want me to be "Daisy's Man"??? Please let me know, OK?

You were humble enough to ask this question. Seems to me you've made one heck of a step right there. I admire your intestinal fortitude!
Hun, we all "blow it" from time to time. The only thing we can do is to apologize, repent, and pray for the strength to do better the next time.
Don't worry. God will never give up on you. You have His promise that He will never leave you or forsake you. If you wander off away from the fold, He will go and search for you till He finds you and brings you back.
You didn't ask for prayers from your Christian sisters, but you've got my prayers for you, anyhow.
Much love, Hun, and God bless you!

God won't give up on you as long as you cling to him. I would start by studying Proverbs 31. Believe it or not she's actually a very modern woman. Also try studying Ester, Ruth, and other prominent women in the Bible. It will take a while but look to these women as role models.
