So I've been going through a really rough time lately with God. Kind of like a valley. I've never felt farther from God andI keep praying but I'm not getting any answeres and it's been almost 3 months. I guess everything has been going down hill since I broke up with my boyrfriend, and I'm still not over him and I REALLY want to be! And the more I read the bible the more I feel like a hyprocrite, becuase I'm not even sure if some of the stuff isn't true. I just don't know what to do! I'm a mess.
Answer:I understand what you are going through. Concerning your breaking up with your boyfriend. I would say just give it some time and you'll be okay. Don't try to rush feeling better. Time is one of the best medicines.
The reason it may feel like your not hearing anything from God is because your probably expecting God to come through in a specific way, maybe like reading a passage and the windows of heaven shine down. I know that sounds dramatic but I hope you understand what I mean. The reason you're not hearing anything from God is because you're winded up so tight that your anxious before you even open God's Word. The first part of Psalm 46:10 says that we are to be still and know that God is in control. Ask God to calm you down and to be completely quiet. If you do this you will find that God whispers like He did to Elijah in I Kings 19:12 in a still small voice. God has never left you. He has been there with you the whole time. Just allow Him to quiet you and allow Him to speak to you.
Don't forget, if you have a question you can send it to me at asktheyouthpastor@xtrlive.com plus you can talk to us tonight at www.studenthopeline.com
