Luke, you do not have to "feel," anything. Just do it. Its walk by faith--not by feelings. Plus that, sounds like--from the way you posted- that the enemy is running some confusion. Just do the praying, and reading--much like as you just eat, and get a drink of water---just do it, and pay not much mind to your "feelings," which may in fact not actually be all your own feelings. Then there is this: thanksgiving in the morning, noon and eve-night--a reasonable sacrifice on a daily basis. Jael

Lord, let this person renew their mind, soul and spirit in your word. Let this person pray with a total love for you Jesus on what you did at the cross for his sins. Give this person a fresh revelation of cavalry. In Jesus name, amen. Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

I've definitely been experiencing the same conflicts on and off the last few months. No interest to pray, attend church, read the Bible, etc. at times. It's almost like a force comes through and says something along the lines of, "Nothing good will come out of doing those things, wouldn't you rather watch TV or make a phone call instead?" I've found that it is actually really difficult for me to overcome those feelings, and to be honest, up until lately, 9/10 times I haven't. I always agreed with that voice/feeling and turned on a TV show or called a friend, etc. I'm realizing now that is the enemy talking and working through my mind. I'm new to my faith, and I've realized that the enemy uses that against me, trying to break me down to my old ways. I REFUSE to let that happen. I've recently started to fight those feelings. As much as I don't want to pray sometimes because I feel like I won't get anything out of it, as much as there are times I feel pushed not to go to church or read the Bible, I fight it. I do it anyways. Once I do, I can't be more thankful that I did. And I've noticed, those negative feelings are slowly fading away, and in turn, making room for a new voice. The voice of God. I guess my point is, even if you feel like you've lost interest, do it anyways. I promise you, it'll get so much better and feel natural. If you let God in, He will stand by your side. I'm praying for you and will continue to do so, God bless!!
