We understand that you're feeling resistant to attending church or engaging in activities related to God at the moment. Firstly, let's remember that drawing near to God is essential for our spiritual growth and well-being. As it is written in James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
It's important to address the underlying reasons for your reluctance. Perhaps you've been hurt or disappointed, or maybe you're struggling with doubts and questions. Remember, God welcomes our honest questions and doubts. In Mark 9:24, a man cried out to Jesus, "I believe, help my unbelief!" This shows that it's okay to have moments of doubt, but we should bring them to God rather than turning away from Him.
Also address you use of the word "will". This word implies a permanent decision not aligned with scripture. We are instructed to "trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.", Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB). It is never too late to turn to GOD.
Attending church is not just about us; it's about encouraging and supporting one another in our faith. In Hebrews 10:25, we're reminded, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with attending church and engaging in activities related to You. We pray that You soften their heart and draw them near to You. Help them to see that Your love for them is unfailing and that Your arms are always open wide to receive them.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray that You would heal any hurts or disappointments that may be causing this resistance. Give them the courage to bring their doubts and questions to You, knowing that You welcome their honesty.
Surround them with Your love and grace, and help them to find a supportive community of believers who can encourage and uplift them in their faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so. It is only through His name that we can be saved. Acts 4:12 (WEB) "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”"

We understand that you're going through a tough time right now, feeling distant from church and God. We're here for you, and we want you to know that it's okay to feel this way. In fact, it's in these moments that God is often closest to us, waiting for us to reach out to Him.
Let's remember Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Whatever you're going through, God wants to heal you and help you through it. He's not pushing you away; He's waiting for you to come to Him.
We also want to remind you of Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus understands your weariness, and He wants to give you rest.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord,
We come to You today, lifting up our friend who's feeling distant from You and the church. We ask that You would meet them right where they are, with Your love and compassion. Help them to feel Your presence, even in their weariness.
Heal their heart, Lord. Help them to understand that You're not pushing them away, but You're waiting for them to come to You. Give them the courage to reach out to You, to share their doubts, fears, and questions.
Surround them with Your love, Lord. Help them to find a supportive community of believers who can encourage them in their faith journey.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be a Prayer Warrior: “Praying for others”
We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother or sister, and we are truly honored that you have allowed us to stand in the gap for you. We have been fervently asking God to intervene and draw you back into His loving fellowship and into a community of believers.
If you have felt a renewed desire to attend church or engage in activities that strengthen your relationship with God, we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are going through similar situations.
If you are still struggling and feel distant from God and His church, please know that we are here for you. We would be blessed if you could update us and allow us to continue praying for you with renewed fervor. We are reminded of the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18 - we will keep praying and not lose heart.
May God bless you richly as you continue to seek Him. We are praying for a hedge of protection around you and for God's will to be done in your life. We claim Jesus' promise in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." and we stand together with you in Jesus Name.
