Can someone pray for me I have been losing faith in God

Just like with any relationship, when you feel distant you gotta put in the work to get back in good standing. In human relationship it's not always your fault but our relationship with God is different we are always the problem.

I've definitely been there! Guessing most people have too!

[sfwisdom]

I’m deep in my sin I need God to bring me back.

Can everyone please pray for my brother in law? His name is Alex. he is slowly but surely dying in the hospital. He had his colon removed recently and is having complications from the surgery. Every prayer counts. Thank you. God bless.

Five essential questions to ask when we feel disconnected from God:

1. Is there some sin in our lives we are not turning from, not confessing, not repenting from? Psalm 32: 3-5.
2. Are we spending consistent time with God doing activities that feed the spirit?
3. Are we spending consistent time with God's people in Christian Community?
4. Are we being distracted by something? Are we consumed by something other than God? Luke 10: 38-42
5. Are we caring for ourselves?

[graftme]

I think sometimes God lets us feel far away from Him even when we are striving to stay close because we learn to trust Him more completely, instead of relying on our feelings, which can be deceiving. Even feeling close to Him could be a deception. Consider the Pharisees who thought they were closer to God than "sinners" because of their position, knowledge of the word, and their strict adherence to the law. Jesus rebuked them over and over again but they didn't "get" it.

Perfect timing... I really needed this

[stevekarma]

Knowing that nothing can seperate Him from me helps.... we all go through this (and I've been a pastor 10 years).... thanx for sharing

[haleyhope]

One of the best 12 minutes I spent. Funny thing is I've been struggling a lot lately. I question everything, and I'm bitter towards the world. But the thing that gets me is that week before I was on FIRE for God and now I'm finding it hard to even pray without feeling empty. This video was an eyeopener for me, thank you it was just what I needed. I feel God speaking through this video, God bless.

This came JUST time....
I'm literally in tears Rn...

[prestonphillips]

I have friends, many close ones, but so few are Christian and believers. I've recently discovered that the hard way that I need to surround myself with more Christians. It's been a nice and refreshing wake up as well. I could also use some prayers if anyone on this comment section has some free time in their day. This is a great video as I need to get back to being right with God and I feel like I'm making progress but keep stumbling here and there. But at least it's progress.

Needed to hear this I have felt distracted from God I go to church every Sunday and I come home to my home where my mother allows premarital sex, alcohol, drugs, verbally and emotionally abuses me. Please pray that I stay strong in the Lord and removed from this bondage... Thank you

As someone who feels like a lukewarm Christian, it’s amazing to me how I can put my worries aside and just stop and say “God has my back” and suddenly everything just feels like it’s going to be okay. It allows me to focus on my goals despite the pain and I myself interpret that as a form of the strength of the lord mentioned in the Bible

[notjohnedgell]

When God's timing is just right so that I see when this is uploaded

[perryjeff]

Man there’s so much fruit in this channel. Thank you brother Allen for your obedience to the Lord. It’s like no matter where I’m at in my walk somehow someway the Holy Spirit continues to speak through you and encourages me to keep on keeping on with my walk with the Lord. God continues to lead me through His word domino effecting my wife and kids. Thanks for being an source of encouragement. Praying that God will continue to strengthen you man

[isaiahaskew]

Please pray for me, I'm actually 20 and struggling with illness and I want to feel peace from God. I'm in need of guidance and prayer. Thank you guys.

[ChiyoHana]

I really needed this, lately I’ve been feeling so burned out after feeling the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit within me, it just all of a sudden disappeared and I feel so guilty for feeling tired and burned out like this 😔👉👈 God bless you! Thank you so much ✨

[lifeisgood]

I felt like if you were talking directly to me, because I have been feeling far from God, I can relate with all that you said, God bless you.
