Sometimes I feel miserable and wish that I'd die but am too scared to die coz i don't wonna go to hell
At times I draw near God, i pray and praise God and focus to follow Jesus and then abruptly this changed
I grow cold, I stop praying
I just never get to understand this
I've heard the Gospel million times but the impact never lasts for your long
I'm not able to read my bible (I have only in my fon )
It's more than 20 months ain't going to church
I really live a terrible life
Lonly and miserable
I believe in Jesus and his mighty power to save but I just don't know what's happening with me
Please pray for me and any help or advice or encouragement will be great to me
Please help
I'm desperate

Lord we all fall short at times. I have questioned faith at times as many have in that we are humans and sinners. Lord I ask you to be present on this believers life as we lift them to you in prayer. Strengthen them and heal them from all negativity . Show them the way to you and continue to guide them. Allow them the peace and love that comes with you Christ lord.

Dear one , the one thing that you need to do is to get back in a good church , it is very important that you hear the word of God preached and that you are around other believers who can encourage you in your walk with the Lord , all of us need that . A good Pastor will challenge you and help you see if there needs to be changes in your life and to get you out of the comfort zone , he will help you grow in the ways of the Lord . The enemy of your soul wants you to feel discouraged , he knows his time on earth is short , NOW is the time to become firm in your faith as a Christian , there are people who need Jesus and we need to be light and salt to them . We may not always " feel " spiritual , but we are to walk by faith because He says in His Holy word that He is always with us . The word of God also tells us that if we draw near to Him , He will draw near to us , you see we have to make the first move because He will never force Himself on us . I pray that you will have a new hunger for Christ . Blessings !

Hi!

My faith also sucks. I believe that He exists but I dont believe that He loves me or cares of me. I am not moved by gospel either. I dont quit sin just because I might go to hell for that. Nothing  that Lord does impresses me. Nothing makes me want to be His slave. I dont even feel called by Him and when I do feel, I dont care. You are not alone. I dont know what to do.

But the hope I can give you is that as long as you still worry about it you still have hope. It means God still wants you to repent and hopes you to repent. Holy Spirit havent left you yet. When He leaves you, you wouldnt even be asking here because then you simply wouldnt care. Be aware that HS can leave u if ur cold to Him long enough. I know that I too should repent. But right now I just type you this encouragement, knowing that I will be judged even harder than u because I know it, I even teach it to u but I myself still dont do it. What I warned about danger of HS leaving u is true. Sadly it doesnt motivate me to repent. And I dno what would motivate u.

Let's just pray that God would give us both experience with Him that our faith would be like Paul's - not only based on theory but also on experience. I think this is what can ignite us. But also an other danger here. If we get that kind of revelation, and still become cold, then there is nothing God could do anymore, because then He has already shown us everything that He can show us and there is nothing new He could offer us that could potentially convert us to believe.

Maybe it's His will to see us suffering from punishments for our disobedience in this life and then also from burning in Hell. My prayer life has shown that He enjoys when I go trough pain and that He ignores all my prayers because if He would answer me I might turn back to Him and then He wont be able to see me suffering anymore, but He  enjoys when I go trough pain, sufferings, loneliness, abandonment etc.

it is very important that you hear the word of God preached

I am not the original poster but the one who said His faith sucked also.

For me, I dont even get warm while I hear the word. I can even hear the word and get colder while I still listen to it. I can start thinking my own sinful thoughts at the middle of sunday service. So church is not a guarantee. If ur not called then ur not called and thats all.

NOW is the time to become firm in your faith as a Christian , there are people who need Jesus and we need to be light and salt to them .

Good thing is: you are right. Bad thing is: just knowing that something is right doesnt motivate me to do so.

It's kinda like what Paul said about the law. He said that law gave us the standard but it didnt empower us to keep that standard. Paul said now that we are his children, this law is written on our hearts. I see similar analogy here. I agree that what you said is right but unless God pulls us we are unlikely to do that, even if we know what is right.

I have prayed for you!

John 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

blessings.

I do believe but it never works with me 

I don't find time to go to church coz of my current work 

I  just wonder why it's so easy for some people whereas for me it's hell !

I repent, I cry to God but I just don't know how this changes all of sudden

I really admire and wish to live for christ 

I have seen favour of God on my life and His amazing grace 

But I never feel saved at all 

Why can't I read the bible at least? 

 

[123]

Psalm 59: You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and keep you at peace. Believe!

Amen IJN

But I never feel saved at all 

I have heard people say that it's not about feeling but about believing. Sometimes satan can take this feeling of being saved from us but just because we lack that emotion doesnt meant we are unsaved. Although, it wouldnt hurt to check to see if you have actually stepped away from the path that God has given to you. If you have, dont stay there in depression, but repent and come back to right path.
