I used to but would often stop out of boredom. I'd even pray he kept me focused while reading which worked for awhile. Then I backslid. Recently, I tried reading again but I stop out of boredom. If I'm forcing it, is there a point?

I don't know how to force a feeling of love towards God. I feel like that's something that has to naturally manifest within me. I'm sure I have the Jezebel spirit on my back. Whether these feelings stem from it or not, I agree with it a lot. I feel like if my praying and fasting isn't...

Usually by venting to him. I've tried fasting a couple of times. I ask him to respond through text.

What's standing in the way? My selfishness. I prefer to dedicate more time to my own pleasure seeking. I tell myself that if I don't pray for the right reasons, don't pray at all. I don't think I have eternal life yet though. I haven't even received the holy spirit yet.

Maybe it's because my idea of love is skewed but I don't see what's loving about unnecessarily letting all this suffering play out to begin with. If you foresaw the disastrous future of your own child before conceiving them, would you still go on to create them?

I cannot honestly say I love God. I feel like my only motive for pursuing him is in attempt to get saved from hellfire. Instead, I have built up resentment for him in my heart. I feel like he has selfishly cursed humans into a life of suffering so he can demonstrate his greatness. I feel like...

I can relate sooo much, except I'm probably worse off. I think you need to take your focus off of worldly fullfillment and focus on letting the Lord work on you from the inside and equipt you with qualities needed for you to walk in your purpose. You're lacking self-love. I'm guessing he...
