No desire to pray, read scripture, fellowship, etc. Then there are other times when I have a deep hunger for the things of God. Anyone else going through what I am right now? Sad too, because I play keyboard on the worship team at church, and right now I am just not in the mood to want to even go to church. :music: :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest of highs and the lowest of lows and never the twain shall meet. No even ground. I thought it was just my manic personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice a pattern with me.....if I stop reading the Bible for 2 days or more, then I don't WANT to read it but the same thing works in reverse. If I read for about 3 or 4 days in a row (maybe even grudgingly) then I find that I WANT to read it and I truly enjoy it. It's a fight between our spirit and flesh - a tug or war. So what I do is even if I don't feel reading, first I pray about it and I just tell Him the truth because He knows anyway - then I make myself read and after a couple of days, I'm fine. Then I only want to surround myself with Godly things and people. I get scared because then this brings up a question of what is being lukewarm? Would that be considered lukewarm? Should I start another thread on this? I might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
