Feeling futile 12/28/19 (Sat) 14:42:33 84028d No.11697

Every morning I wake up and just go through the motions of my life. I can't shake the feeling of complete meaningless. I fell into a dark night and never came out of it. Prayer does nothing for me anymore, nor does studying scripture. I feel like nothing I do matters, there is no point to my existence. All I ever see is constant change, everyone and everything changing, including myself, and it makes me feel extreme depression at times. I just cannot feel God anymore, all I feel like is a drop in a meaningless universe… :(

Jesus was a man of sorrows

Well, what do you pray for? Prayer seems unreal to you the second it isn't genuine. Remember, you became a Christian in the first place by being open to God, therefore He imparted His grace, and met you in the middle. If the prayer is genuine, then similarly, the faith that you will receive will be given to you, and every fear will depart. Every act or thought in relation to God is prayer, from that first openness to God, down to now, this is all He desires.

So, may I propose that if it's not working, that you've become inhibited for one reason or other, and set up an internal wall, and asked Him to come no further. Unfortunately, this self-imposed isolation just won't do if you've known God's goodness.

It may be hard, but you have to push onward and side with God's interest in you.
