I know that the Christian faith is not a set of duties. That though the laws will not pass away that does not mean to obey they a certain percentage makes us right with God. Is also does not mean to live like we have no law because Jesus paid it all. It means in loving Him wanting to please him by living holy lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Disdain for the law at its roots is a rebellion against the God that compells one to not steal, not covet, not to disobey mother and father, and of much importance not to blaspheme, treat lightly the name of God, Jesus.....
So, going back to the beginning before going down the rabbit trail, reading the Bible, praying, and even singing hymns and spiritual songs are worthless if done as a check mark of things I have to do to get an answer, to try to strongarm God to giving me my desires, yet if they are just ways to want to know Him, God, Jesus more then it is of infinite worth.
And this is eternal life that they might know you the One True God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3
God help us to abide in you. To want to know You as you are. To seek Your will Your glory. Help us to reflect your Son and His mercy. LORD thank you for displaying your love through what Jesus did in dealing with our sin on the cross. Please humble us in light of what you accomplished for us. May you light up our paths until we reach the promise land where your grace and glory dwell.
I will seek to find my rest in you.
