Lapsed Catholic anon here, I wish to return to Mother Church after several months in sin, but I don't know how to get anything out of prayer. I've had this problem for a while even when I was faithful; I can't find any feeling while doing it, I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I don't know how to get anything or feel anything during prayer. I've tried the Rosary, chaplets, Lectio Divina, and just winging it, I just don't feel a connection to God anymore. This feeling of no connection is what caused me to stop praying and being unfaithful. It's with the help of St. Augustine and his example that I've wished to repent. What could I read to help me see prayer as more than just feeling, but being in the presence of God and how to deal with a feeling of no connection with God? This thread can also be for other Christanons who have this problem.
