Jesus has already done "everything" to make it right, but have you truly accepted it? that feeling you described as "dead" is what we are without him. Through the acceptance of the saving grace of our Lord, (who while we were yet dead in our sins chose to die for us) we have been empowered to live our lives in victory over the sickness, (all kinds) hardship, doubt,trouble, abandonment, addiction, and yes even death,(which came into the world thru Adam) If we accept that he loved us enough to die for us we have the only real basis for self-esteem instead of the commonly held belief that we are "all good people" we are NOT! if that were true his sacrifice would have been for nothing. Jesus himself asked "father, but this cup should pass from me? but not my will but thine be done" he died for you, why? so that you could have a precious relationship with the father...thats where the REAL power is, there, in his kingdom...seek ye the kingdom of heaven, and ALL (I said ALL) things will be added unto YOU! (thats YOU) it truly is wonderful! whats next for you? seek his kingdom...anyway you can, in his word,in a church,on the radio,in other christian people...as if your very life depends on it...(your eternal one) it does! you don't have to die before you can have his joy, be filled with his spirit..lay down the dead you and take his hand and walk...your challenge will be to trust HIM for everything else!
