Loss of Intrest

Please pray for me. I've lost interest in what seems like everything. This is a scary place to be. I remember when I used to love life and was enthusiastic about the things of life. I couldn't wait to get home and finish up the chapter where I left off at in my bible... I've always struggled in my prayer life but now it's almost non-existent. I do the basics in prayer (thanking God, putting on armor, forgiveness of sins, "saying HELP ME GOD!", praying for others) but not those healthy deep conversations anymore. Please pray for me.

I don't want you to give up. I have been feeling really low too this weekend, for the first time in months and months. You are being too hard on yourself. I can see it in your writing about praying. You are doing the best you can at the moment you're in. I believe in you without even knowing you. Try writing in a journal if you don't have anyone you can be totally honest with. Just getting these bad feelings on paper or out of your mouth can be a major relief. I will not let this relapse set me back, though it is so easy too. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

Thank you SaRaHv, thank you so much for your response. You are good at reading people. I am VERY hard on myself and people always tell me that. I'm not going to give up, even though it would be easy to. I am going to speak those things that be not as though they were... I am regaining my interest in life, I do have a desire to read the bible, I love to pray, I WANT YOU GOD!!! THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! Let's pray for each other, thank you so much for your advice, I'm going to start writing in my journal again.

Abundant, please go easy on yourself

remember, your relationship with God is not about how you are "feeling". He knows the struggles we have in our day to day life, however, he also knows our deepest intents of our hearts. I have to admit, I too at times, feel less interested in things(reading the bible, prayer life,etc)BUT, I know that I will have my bad days and his 'grace is sufficient". We serve a mighty and loving God that can see past our "feelings"(and remember, feelings change like the wind...your HEART is what he's looking at;) I've read your previous posts and I KNOW that you are truley a person after Gods own heart

You will be okay. I will pray for the BOTH of you (SaRaHv)
Peace and God bless
Robin

Thank you Mom of 6, thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Sorry it's taken me so long to write back, I've been pretty busy with some changes in my life, all good stuff though

Thank you for your prayers and yes, His grace is definitely sufficient for my thorns! I'm learning day by day to trust in Him more and more. God bless you!

Sincerely,
