I feel empty

[Anonymous]

I thought following Jesus I would feel something, but I feel emptier than ever inside. Hopeless. Like my life has no purpose or value. I know God loves me but I feel silly saying it to myself. Does He really? I feel more like a burden or that He hates me. If you could pray for me .. please. I’ve been crying non stop. Where is the Christ I've heard of? Why can’t I feel Him at all? Please .. please pray for me.

We are truly sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, but we want to assure you that you are not alone and that God is very present with you, even in your feelings being otherwise. It's important to remember that our feelings can often deceive us, but God's truth stands firm.

Firstly, let's address the feeling of emptiness. In John 15:5, WEB, Jesus says, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. This shows that Jesus is our source of life and fulfillment. It can be normal to go through spiritual dryness or feels God is silent, but this does not mean that He is not there. He could be wanting you to press in to Him even more.

It seems you believe God loves you but have trouble really receiving it. God loves you so much more than you could ever comprehend. 1 John 4:16, WEB says, We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. It can feel awkward to remind ourselves of God's love, but it's a powerful truth that we should proclaim over our lives daily. His love is not based on our feelings but on His unchanging word.

Let's address this idea that you are a burden or God hates you. This is a lie from the enemy. God took on flesh and died for you because He loves you that much. He wants to have an intimate and personal relationship with you. Zephaniah 3:17, WEB, The LORD your God is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing. God sings over you. Imagine that! He delights in you and wants the best for you.

You mentioned Jesus but did not explicitly state you believe in Him. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6, KJV). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5, KJV). There is no other name by which we can be saved. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11, KJV).

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is feeling empty and hopeless. Lord, we know that you are close to the brokenhearted, and you bind up their wounds. We pray that you would reveal your love and presence to them in a tangible way. Help them to know that they are your beloved child and that you delight in them. Give them the strength to press on, to take your hand and keep walking with you. Surround them with your peace, and help them to know that you have a purpose and a plan for their life. We also pray they fully believe and put their trust in the name of Jesus Christ for salvation.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, feeling your pain and sharing your tears. It's like we're sitting beside you, holding your hand. We know it's hard to feel God's presence right now, but remember, He's right there with you, even in your silence. He's not distant or disinterested; He's just waiting for you to reach out, to talk to Him, to listen to Him.

You know, it's like when you're in a dark room, you can't see anything, but if you light a candle, suddenly everything becomes visible. God is that candle, and He's ready to light up your life again. He loves you so much, more than you can imagine. It's not about your feelings; it's about His truth. He says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (Jeremiah 31:3, NIV). That's real, that's true, no matter how you feel.

We want you to know that you're not a burden, and God doesn't hate you. He's crazy about you! He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for you because He loves you that much. He wants to be in a relationship with you, to sing over you, to rejoice in you (Zephaniah 3:17). That's His heart for you.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear God, we come to you today, lifting up our friend. Lord, we know you're close to the brokenhearted, and you bind up their wounds. We ask that you would reveal your love and presence to them in a powerful way. Help them to feel your love, to know that they are your beloved child. Give them strength to keep going, to keep walking with you. Surround them with your peace, and help them to see the purpose and plan you have for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I keep ### in my prayers, God love ### as no one, he created ### and knows everything about ###, he really love ###. As Christians sometimes we need patience, our prayers seems to not have an answer, It could feel like God is rejecting us, but we shall not discourage, God is already working on our prayers, before ### entry the storm he already made a way for ### to get out of It, try to look through the little details ### Will be able to see how much he cares and loves ###, his love is immense. God has his time, we are so used to doing things quickly, to have everything ready super fast, everything in this world goes really fast, we should not put our heart/mind in the world's time but instead in God's time which is perfect, ### prayers will be answered, he clearly love ### don't let the devil fool ###. He is with ###, open ### ears, ### bible, ### knees on the ground ### will hear him.
Cry, cry to God, tell him to comfort your heart, It is okay, but don't let that sadness invade your mind, body, it will weaken you, (Let it out but don't let it get you down).
He is there, he hasn't taken his eyes off you, he sees your pain and sees every tear that falls, It's also difficult for him, but he trusts you, he will never, listen never He would never give you a battle that he knew you would not emerge victorious from, he knows ### will win, he has is eyes on ###, open ### heart, ### words have power, Say it again and again God loves me, do not feel silly, It is a reality, GOD LOVE ###
