desire

[Ohdaeng77]

Hi all... so I have lost desire to seek God. How do I get it back? Before... maybe 5 or 6 months ago I never experienced God the way I did.

I felt his presence in everything I did. I was so sensitive to his voice. Prayers being answered, even the least important ones. Being in his peace. While at work or school I would always try and see what would make our Creator happy.

I feel like the answer is that it can only come from Him. I need to pray about it huh? What if the desire to pray and all of that is gone... my prayers to the Creator will not be sincere as they once were.

I'm not rebelling or mad at God... I just have no desire to work on our relationship... and now I want to go back to Him.

During these 5 or 6 months I went back to church last week... Am I going to go this coming or next? I should... I want to.. kind of. The desire is gone guys. Pray for me. I want to rebuild my relationship with the Creator.

We all have these ups and downs. Being honest about it is good. Like you said, pray that He re-lights that fire, because you don't have it right now.

Its an understandable experience or "Phase." From experience, the best thing I can tell you is too keep praying and start fasting. It helped me alot. Don't judge yourself because of the experience, you have to also know that evil spirits exists and will do whatever it takes to separate you from God. God knows how you feel and think but sometimes, it is true that we do not understand what God is doing or why he is allowing certain thoughts and feelings take hold of our lives. What I realized was this: that we are to seek God because of WHO he is. Not becuase of a good feeling he gives off when seeking him. Feelings come and go, but God never changes. Ask for prayer from ppl you trust and start a fast. 3 days 1 day it dont matter just do it! Everything is going to be alright. God sees your efforts and is ready to give you more of HIM than he did in your later times. Hope this helped, God bless.
