God, I'm Tired Of Praying: What To Think About How You Feel
Available at Amazon as hardcover, paperback and Kindle.
You are tired of praying and do not find joy in it like you used to.
You have been faithful and diligent but your fondest desires have not
been fulfilled. You are grateful to your Father In Heaven, but even some
needs, as you see them, have not been fulfilled. You wonder, Should I give up on prayer?
Things have happened that you asked God to prevent. Things have not happened
that you asked him to bring about. You have had tragedy or devastation
in your life and prayers are not helping. They have not helped for a
long time. You are sad and feel hopeless about your prayer life. You are
afraid that you may never be able to pray in faith again.
Because God knows your heart, He knows that you want to pray.
He knows when you think about praying and when your heart proclaims
that you will, whether you are successful or not. He knows when you say
to yourself, I should pray. I used to be able to pray. I need to pray. Your prayer desires are not lost on Our Heavenly Father. You may not feel faithful but he is aware of your faith.
Chapters in this book, such as Tired Of Believing In Prayer And Feeling Guilty and No Hope Of Ever Feeling It Again, confirm that you are tired of praying. The chapters I Can’t Pray Another Day and I Just Can’t Make The Effort Anymore, and other chapters, verify that you can't do it anymore.
Your real, deep feelings are supported by chapters like, If God Was Going To Give Me That Blessing He Would Have Done It By Now and Why Should I Pray When I Can't Stop What's Going To Happen?
You're hurting because you feel that these feelings are not like you.
You don't understand what is happening to you. If you could, you would
take yourself back to when you believed wholeheartedly in prayer and
looked forward to it. When our hearts are crying out and the desire to
pray has fled, we don't need more to-do lists, instructions or
criticism. We need empathy.
Without judgement, I address the real feelings of Christians
who are bone-weary from praying and believing in prayer. Within these
chapters you will find validation for how you are feeling and comfort in
learning that there is nothing wrong with you or your faith. As you
read and I talk directly to you, you will also find inspiration and
hope.
Come, let's talk about your weariness...
God, I'm Tired Of Praying: What To Think About How You Feel is a handy compilation of my You Are Here: Tired Of Praying & Weary posts from my blog, Draw Nigh To Hope. It also includes new content not shared at the blog.
