Um Seriouse advice needed here....

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I feel like I am falling away from God, but there is no reason for it.
I do devotionals and read the Bible and pray now more then I ever have, yet it feels like I am slipping away... I donno its weird. I am also more involved in ministry and I even go to a christian school where I am surriounded by christians!! I dont know what to do guys... I feel helpless! I have been praying about this like crazy, but Ijust dont know what to do anymore.

I guess Ijust want such a deep intimate relationship with Christ, that nothing is satisfying that need that I have?!? Its weird? I am thirsty, and I am going to God, yet my thirst is not quenched?

Do you guys have any suggestions? Comments? Concerns? Querrys? (haha)

Im serious though... I mean its not like I want to go out and rebell and go drinking or be bad or anything. I feel like I am slipping away, when I want to be so much stronger in my faith and I am working hard at acheiving that.... weird eh?

I donno but it feels like maybe Satan is toying with my head?

Help please
Thanks so much
I love you guys

Sometimes the road is long and dry. You keep walking it because that is what you have committed to, not because you are simply "on fire" or feel motivated.

I think we all go through these "dry spells" sometimes. I know I have and they can be very oppressing and hard to get out of. You just feel like you are covered by this horrible black cloud but then God suddenly shows you something and you feel like the clouds have parted and the sun is shining again. Keep on with what you are doing- reading your Bible, praying, etc...sing along with good Christian music in your car- whatever- just find a way to praise God in spite of the dry spell.

Have you just had what I like to call "a mountain top" experience"? One were you just felt really close to God and nothing could ever separate you? Sometimes when you have those type of experiences, for whatever reason, a dry spell may follow. When you get a chance, read the story of Elijah in the bible. He had quite a moutain top experience. Than he sorta had a crisis of faith. But God was with him all the way and at the end of the crisis, Elijah was rewarded by being allowed in the presence of God, literally. Elijah is also a good lesson on how to handle stress.

You have also been given some good advice from the above posters. I hope your dry spell will end soon for you as well!

Sometimes it can feel 'dry.' During those times in my life I get apprehensive because I usually feel like God is getting something big ready. Most of the time its true, for me. Just pray for God to give you wisdom and show you where he wants you to do his work.
