'Please Help! — I’m Wandering Away from God'

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 842

[juanmartingomez]

I’m drifting away from God. I owe him everything and He has gotten me away from so much trouble and saved me from so many things. He has given me endless blessings and I continue to drift away from Him. Please pray for me 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[brietoujours]

When we walk away from God and wonder where he is...he is still there and we are the ones that left.

Also I hope this helps someone :
Sin has a way of hardening our hearts so that things that once moved us now have little or no influence on our mood when we read or pray. The way we feel however is no indication of GOD's desire or His place in us. The Word of GOD on the other hand, is. If you have changed your mind about your past actions and have made a clear decision to follow Him and live in Him (ie.Live in His Love again) then He is just as close to you as when you feel Him, even if you don't feel Him. Thank Him out loud for having redeemed you, for having received you and having restored you back to relationship with Him, even if it sounds and feels like you're babbling empty words. He rejoices in you proclaiming His words especially when you don't feel them.
Finally, He is not upset with you, You are upset with you. Ask Him to help you see yourself as He sees you. Beautiful, desirable, pure and set apart for Him. His bride. Let Him show you His Love. This is the most perfect time.. when you feel the least worthy.. Love you Sis

This had me weeping, please pray for me

[vonroberts]

A mistake that I've made and I believe many make is that we go off of feelings and/or our putrid sins as to whether or not we have God. Our salvation is based upon what Jesus has done for us. If we are walking with the Master our actions will be Christ like, but our good actions also come through the strength and grace of our Lord Jesus. Anyone out there who is struggling or has fallen down, get back on the horse. Trusting God is not always easy, get your bible out, and cling to His promises! His word says He will never leave us nor forsake us. God loves us, we are unique and valuable to Him. Believe what His word says!

I’m a sinner Lord, please forgive me!

[BloodCovenant]

Been there done that. Almost 40 years of backslidings. Terror of God and hope he would save me were my quandary. There were times in private I would ask God to save me. There were times when partying with friends I would tell them I don't want to live in sin anymore all the while I lived like the devil. I was a mess but the time came and God took me out of that. I praise his name for his mercy.

A Dry, Winter Season. Dark Season, WE, the Body, is coming out of a Season. As the Lord's return is neigh, the devil is trying everything he can, every trick in the book! Remember, the devil is a LIAR! a DEFEATED FOE. Hold on to what you KNOW. Everything is being shaken and torn down. WE walk by FAITH not by sight or feelings. Suffering for Christ Sake, doesn't "feel" good. Lay Aside Everything and Press In and Press On!! Ruunnn to the feet of Jesus and Hold On! We're Going Home! Hallelujah!

[lorinadkinson]

I think many of us come across this video feeling just like Becky. Please know I am praying for all of us. He has mercy on us, love for us. Let us repent and come back to our Lord!

[talapea]

Hello. My sister just sent me this video and it speaks to my situation. My heart is calloused and so hard hearted. I cannot feel noe hear him. I struggle to read my I have to force it and there's no life in it. I struggle to pray.... I am blank and hollow and the words just don't come. I'm so tired of being in this place. And I am frightened. Most days I believe that perhaos I was never saved to begin with. Although there was a time when I was on fire for God and loved Jesus dearly. Now it's just dead inside. Please pray for me.

[livingwithheritage]

I fear backsliding, I have gone the trials and didn’t trust God. And I moved to a new neighborhood and a new sch and I fear that I will be afraid to share my Faith and that I will hide it and I don’t want that and I am having thoughts of maybe going back to my old ways but I seriously don’t want to and I am not happy. And everything I am reminded of revelation 2
And I pray that God will restore my First Love because Ik that now isn’t the same as bfr many has happened Faith has wavered and I don’t want to change. Even if I go through trials Ik I find my peace in God. And the world is just not what I want. I want the desires of serving God. And I just don’t want to ever backslide

[GrayMattr]

Thank you for rescuing me from this mess Father.

[mindspace]

I understand you, I've been there along side you, but Christ has brought me back. In the last year, I was in my room, and I felt as though I was 1 inch from renouncing my faith to the left and 1 inch in keeping it on my right, I felt so hopeless so alone, so down. I called my pastor and spoke with him, which helped a little. But while all this was going on I was seeing a girl, was having sex outside of marriage, drinking etc.. but let me let you something to anyone who is in this seemingly endless, hopeless state, if you are a true believer, Christ will never forget about you, and when he will bring you back, which he will, you will love him even more, be more faithful, you will love more for you have been forgiven much. Its in God's timing and his timing is always right, always. So just trust your heavenly Father and he will bring you through for the best, even though it feels so painful and heart renching now. I will keep those who are going through this in my prayers. A chapter that helped me was Psalm 77. God bless.

[foxtanii]

Ohh dear! Similar feelings and pattern I had. It's just.. I had a break through this summer. Something happened to me and it was God's answer to me. In the beginning of the year I hopelessly and angry cried out to the Lord to hit me so hard in the face and show me where I went wrong because I cannot hear him anymore, don't and cannot read my bible and I've been committing sins continuously! He sent me the answer in summer. Broke me in half and it was a breakthrough and I can now feel him and walk with him again

[v.jackson]

Micah 7:18-20 is one of my FAVORITE Scriptures!!! Bless you! Praying she'll regain her footing! I've been there!!! HIS GRACE, MERCY AND LOVE IS AMAZING!!!

[purplerose]

I feel that when we walk away, he stands in one place waiting for us to return while running after us saying "Come back. I love you, my child"

[jopendelacruz]

My dearest brethren, please pray that God would deliver me from my struggles. Most especially, that He would rescue and realign my heart to be obedient to His will. Thank youuuu

[poxky]

I am 14 years old. ive struggled with depression alcohol and drugs. I got dreams that have helped me get close to God because i had no idea who he was. I fell in love with the God not the worldly lust love. But like a daughter love id admired Him! Everything was amazing I felt at peace I wouldnt lose to sin. But now for about the last 2 months ive wandered away. I have enough ofthis i dont want anything of this world. I want To follow Christ I cant when i try to tell someone they dont seem to understand I feel alone. I keep telling God sorry. Im not sure what to do.

[jessepadron]

I'm been going through this since 2019 and I miss him so very much. It's important to examine ourselves where or what we did wrong.
