HI bro and sis!:)

yeah,basically for almost a month,my mind has been really messed up due to some problems that i have faced. Basically it's kind of feeling of neglected by my friends. Like excludes me from conversations and kind of disregards my existence(probably it's just my feeling,i'm not really sure)
Eventually, i have lost motivation in reading bible. It's not lost motivation in reading bible,but more like, that thought has preoccupied my mind and i feel like "i don't want to read for today" and that lasts for like almost a month

Can you guys please pray for me?and if possible give me some advice of what to do, i tried to approach them well,they do react to me, it's not like they disregard me when i've seen them face to face but more like forgot my existence when during like group conversation on phone. Sometimes my comments are like being ignored by silents,well kinda a lot of time though. I need prayer and i don't know who to approach to among my christian friends, because these are them.
If possible, can anybody give me suggestion of what to do? Of course the most urgent thing is pray for be discipline in reading bible. Can you guys give me some advice me of how to be motivated in reading bible regardless in my weak physical and mental state.

Cheers,God bless :)

Your conscience is really talking to you :)

Thank you God for our consciences making us miserable. When we struggle with opening up God's Word is when we REALLY need to open it. It's a good opportunity for exercising our 'self-will' muscle. Sometimes we listen to our fallen nature and not to our God-nature.

When I don't want to read the Bible, I pray to God to help me to WANT to read it. He then starts attacking the strongholds in my mind, and together we can get that sucker destroyed. It takes a while but as you cooperate with the Spirit (He won't do it by Himself), amazing things start to happen.

Praying for you brother:


James 1:3-6
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

I know it's hard to be ignored by your friends but look at it as an opportunity to learn humility. The reason why this is unpleasant is because our pride makes us think more of ourselves than we should.

Maybe the Lord wants you to learn to listen :)

Praying for all you ask in Jesus Christ is Lord.
Keep looking to Jesus and He will help you with the friendship needs. :)

Praying.

Try talking to God about everything, both good and bad. It makes it easier to get back close to him, maybe it also makes it easier to read his word.

I did face the same thing... I became a youth leader in our congregation and I was so persecuted. It came to a point that I wanted to give up my ministry but God kept me and showed me the pains which were part of my leadership. Relationship is really important and since we're just HUMANS, it's normal for us to get hurt...isolated.... but it's NOT RIGHT to let these things ruin our commitment in serving our PRECIOUS GOD.

All that being said, I pray that you'll always be broken for God alone. Bro, God is moving in your life.

You want to be motivated in reading the BIBLE?
***you just have to open your heart and mind***

CLOSED?
***the Holy Spirit is always closer with you than your own breath***

SHALOM!!! :)
