I have been in phase in my walk that I can't seem to overcome. Even tho I know I am more than a conqueror, I am an overcomer..I have no power, no strenghth within me to fight or to even pray. I feel like Elijah did when he ran from jezebel and sat under a tree becuase he was "tired". Elijah was "zeoulous" for the Lord, yet he was too tired to continue. Too tired to keep moving on and standing on the Lord's Word. I too am too tired. I have prayed, fasted, sowed, and put my feet to the prayers..I am wiped out now. It has been a long hard journey and so many times i have fallen short and failed the Lord and yet His tender mercies are always before me. I know He loves me yet I feel unloved. I know He is restoring me and is stripping away what needs to be stripped. This is nothing new to me..this is part of life and the life of a believer...yet I'm tired. I feel nothing inside. And when I try to encourage myself and convince myself to go to church...my heart is wiped out and I realize I'm not ready. I feel like the Lord has separated me out again...yet I'm too weak to do anything.

I feel the Lord is doing this in order to keep me out of the way maybe..I'm not sure or maybe I've been taken out. I have no desire to go back to church or to see anyone from my church. My church has hurt me...or should I say -- leaders. I too was once a leader/a sunday school teacher and now I don't do anything nor desire to participate in a church that only takes and gives nothing back. Yes, I know I serve God and only Him..yet...i'm tired. I'm tired of the hidden expectations or the way they only look upon me for funding. Never for just good old fashioned fellowship. I can't even go to my pastor because the truth is I don't want to hear anything right now. I only know I need Jesus...His touch...His Word, and His presence.

Please pray the Lord will draw near to me again...and just hold me and rebuild me to be stronger and better than before...I just need Jesus. I just need Him! thx and God bless.

Your at the stage where Jesus is no longer allowing you to do things in your own strength, he is allowing this so you will learn to ONLY abide in him and nothing else.. once you grasp this revelation you will begin to see many things spiritually much clear, you see he is shutting the doors you used to go through so that all you will be able to do is stay in him and his arms.. he is teaching you how to truely abide in him God Bless...
