Feeling Numb

Hi, I'm new to this but have read a couple of the past post and feel it couldn't hurt to share what I am going through. I grew up in a Christian home and am currently part of a Christian community that is really strong and encouraging. I feel like God has given me so much and even though life is not perfect I really cant complain at all the blessings in my life. I want to know Him, really know Him and experience Him like I see others in my church. They seem so passionate and unwavering in their faith. But I feel like most everyday is a struggle. I have started to pray more but I feel like God doesn't hear me. I trust that He has not abandoned me but not that He is listening. I feel like because I have been a luke warm Christian He doesn't hear my cries to Him. I'm feeling further and further away from Him and with each day I am growing more numb and feel like I am not even part of this world but just someone watching their life go by. Help, I feel like I am losing God, and He is all I've ever known, if I lose Him, I will completely lose myself.

Trust me he hears you. You just have to remember he answers prayers in his time not yours. I was in your position, but sometimes he doesn't answer prayers either because you are doing something that he does not like or for another reason you can not see at this time. Mine was if he had heard my cries when I wanted him too I would not have gotten to where I am today. The more you pray the more the Devil tries to convince you GOD is not listening. Don't let the devil win. Just keep doing what you are doing GOD does hear you. Just be patient and hold strong to your beliefes and continue to pray.

Thanks Amanda,

I will continue to preserve and keep hope that this just a short time before God reveals something more in my life.
