If you don't feel.....

[yomotalking]

Hi all.

I just want to say that I've been going through some really tough times....and I practically don't feel anything at all, now.

I heard someone say that if you don't mean what you say, God doesn't heear you.

I don't have feelings when I pray.

There's not even feelings of repentance.....I've prayed so many times..

The question is:

Does God hear me, even if I can't feel repentance??????

Cause I sure don't at the moment.

Greetings Yomo,

First:

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

All of us go through times when it seems God doesn't hear us. We may not sense the presence of the Holy Spirit as we pray. But we know that we have one in heaven who ever lives to intercede on our behalf and His Name is Jesus.

Are you involved in some or many sins that you can't or won't lay aside? If so, then confessing them won't do much good TILL YOU REPENT of them.

You may want to read Psalms 51:1-13; Psalms 130:1-5 and Psalms 86:1-7. Please study them carefully.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Dad Ernie is right We all have that "dry season" in our life. I have been there plenty of times

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

I requote that scripture b/c i think it needs to be said.

There are times when we can earnestly pray , repent of sins in our life and still not feel our prayers have even gotten past our lips. The HolySpirit hears our deepest desires, the deepest needs and at those time when we "feel" nothing or just cant pray the Holy Spirit interceeds for us.

Dont base things on feelings sweetie. Feelings come and go and thats what the enemy uses to attack us. Well one of the things anyway. I dont proclaim to be scriptural knowledgable, most of my advise comes from my spiritual walk.

Does God hear you? Are your prayers sincere, are you repeating the same things your are repenting of , knowly and willingly. If not

try this. When you pray dont only ask for repentance of the things you are aware of but also for things that you may have done and not yet aware of.. Or Ask God to reveal to you those things that may be blocking your prayers. Or causing you to stumble.

Im praying for you Sister

Hey yomo Here is the scripture that i was basing my last post to you on.. The part about the Holy Spirit inteceeding for us when we feel or think we cant pray..

Romans 8:26 -

"Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings that can not be uttered."

Hopes this helps

Trusting In Him

yomo, I struggled with this for a very long time. I had one of those radical conversions where I "felt" the Lord every waking moment. It was so awesome. Then, the day came where I didn't feel that anymore.

That's where faith comes in.

2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Not feeling the presence of the Lord doesn't mean that He is not there. He has promised to never leave you, nor forsake you.

Keep on keepin' on!

Agree very much with T&O, Yomo...I'm prayin' for you, Sis! In Christ,

i just wanted to encourage you and let you know that believers do face times when it is hard to talk to God, hard to read, hard to focus on Him.  God does not make mistakes.  He knew exactly who you were when He called you and knew every struggle that you would face.  He will see you through. 

I have recently faced a serious hardship in my life and for a period of time i found it so hard to pray and feel earnest.  i found it hard to read and to write.  everything was hard.  i felt so far from God and could relate to David's words, 'how long, o LORD, will you hide Your face from me'.  There is nothing worse to me than to feel far from Him.  the blessing is that He knows and sees us at all times.  hardship is for a season and also for a reason.

in my life personally i believe that the Lord, at those difficult times wants me to come to a point where i break and rely solely upon Him.  He wants to edify and fine tune my walk.  it is human nature in hardship to retreat and back away.  Most likely God has never backed away from me, but through wrong focus, anger, and doubt, i have often times retreated from Him. 

Maybe take some personal inventory.  Often times we, as believers are quilty of not leaving everything at His feet.  we hold on to anger and frustration.  we want to fix and understand things for ourselves.  basically we want to drive.

whatever the case, know that God is faithful, even when we are not.  He called you for a reason and will not rescend that call.  He will finish the work He has begun.

Cause I sure don't at the moment.
