I don't know what to do because I can't even stick to a Bible reading or prayer schedule which is very bad. I really wish I could find a way out.

That could be due to a lot of things. You're searching for ways out as well as trying to pray, so that's a good approach. There have been times in my life when my prayer was simply "Thy will, not mine, Lord" because I didn't know what was next or what I should be praying about. Eventually, things got better and my direction became more clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you are depressed, and perhaps even a little overwhelmed by life. I don't think you should approach reading your bible or praying as though it were some kind of work duty or school assignment. When you find yourself feeling helpless, that is probably when you need to pray or read your bible. Whenever possible, focus on the blessings in your life and don't dwell on the negatives, remember though that when tribulation comes it is for your benefit and growth. Rather than trying to find a way out, look for a way in, as in God's will for your life. Praying for you, God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are it's almost normal to feel like you describe. But in today's crazy world even us older folks often wish we were dead. But it's very common for young people to feel like you, especially Christians. A non believer would probably go out and get so drunk they don't feel sad and then spend 2 days with a hangover where they can't feel anything. When that ends it's time to go back to school or work. That's how the people of the world live, and very few confide in anyone. It's good you confided in us. You might have a serious depression issue and if you do I recommend talk therapy over anti depressant drugs. Avoid those drugs unless you can't stop crying or you're on the verge of suicide. In those cases the drugs may help. But if you just have the chronic blues try talk therapy first. It's not a quick fix but I think it's better.
