And I know I wouldn't be training and working out just to receive some praise and a gold medal that won't matter in the end. I would rather eat bons bons on the couch all day and get fat....and I am not saying there is anything wrong with training ..I just wouldn't kill myself for that...I wouldn't do it for that...:smirk:
Lol bon bons. I knoe, I'd just be eating cake Hahahaha.

I feel pretty much the same. A lot of it has to do with the state of the church at the moment. There is a real trend of focusing on the grace of the Father. It has become about what God gives us. Our Christian walk should be just as much about our giving our love to God and what we can do for Him. Like all things there needs to be a balance, but I have felt for years the church is out of sync. I have spoken to people about this and there is a growing agreement with what I am saying in a lot of people I talk to.

I also have a very strong feeling that in the past all of the big revivals have been described as when people came back to the Father or when people came back to Jesus. I believe it is about when the church has gone too far one way, focusing on one person of the trilogy there is a drop in spiritual growth and when they return to the other persons of the trilogy there is a sweet spot where all three persons of the trilogy are worshiped and praised that revival comes. Human nature being what it is they continue moving to that person of the trilogy away from the sweet spot and the church stays focused on that one person and moves away from the revival.

My belief is that the final end time revival will be one where the church focuses on all three persons of the trilogy. It wont be about the Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit, but all of them equally.

We all do at times. This is why we walk by FIATH...not what we hear see or FEEL! You stay in the word.. remember the things He has is doing in your life.

See He will NEVER leave you. He is NOT against you. He is not condemning you.. Nor judging you. No matter what it looks like feels like.. sounds like. He is FOR YOU! So in love WITH YOU!

What you have.. you have the peace of GOD that surpasses all understanding.. you put on HIS armor.. put on the full armor. "I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." Be strong in the lord and in the power of HIS might. You have the MIND of Christ..

The JOY of the LORD is your strength. You keep your mind on HIM He will keep you in perfect peace. You are SAVED... get over that :) don't let the enemy or anyone try to rob you of that. John 3:16-17 Rom 10:9-10.

So.. the ENEMY is just lying to you.. FLIP all the enemy has said.. he can only LIE! He can not tell the truth. :)

I struggle with anger, apathy, and dryness, too.

One prayer which helps bring my heart back to life is just "Thy Will be done". A lot of the anger and sadness just dissolves.

The other is on my profile page. It's a long one, but a really good, really honest one.

I feel like I'm drowning in apathy.
I don't want to go to church.
Don't want to read, it bores me

The only thing I can half way do is pray-

I feel lost. I don't know if God hears me anymore

Thankfully our spiritual life is not based on how we feel. Think about that. You know at times, many times, Tuesday rolls around, we have prayer meeting on Tuesday, and I am working a little late, my brain is numb, my body is tired and I say I just don't feel like going out to church tonight. But then I remember it is not about how I feel but about Gods love. So I go, I am blessed, I am built up by the Holy Spirit and I bask in the praise and worship of God. So it is not about me, it is not about what I feel or I want or my desires. If it is then I don't know God and more sadly He does not know me. A hard but simple truth. A life given to Christ is not about self or motivation or feelings or what we want or desire, it is about Him. Die daily to self and follow Christ. Your apathy will cause you to be weak, defenseless and hopelessly in a downward spiral, don't stay there.

Have zero energy for anything. I just feel like I'm dragging myself around.

Macchiato,

Pray the Rosary, it's biblical.

I will pray for you while I say mine.
