I've heard and have been told that the feeling of loneliness I have every now and then is because of a deeper longing within me to be close to God. Sometimes I just wanna dive in and worship Him and read His word with all of my heart. Other times I feel like its hard. I feel depressed and just wanna curl up under my blanket and sulk. Sometimes I just don't feel like worshipping. Its weird but sulking feels so comfortable to me, I'd rather do it than worship. Am I weird? Is something wrong with me? Does anyone else ever feel like this? Because I know when I do, I think I'm just the worst child of God in the world.
Sometimes...I just dont want to!

You wouldn't feel horrible about it if you weren't His child. All believers go through spiritual depression. Not saying that is exactly your case, but this may help you dear sister:

That was kind of my point. What you're feeling is nothing new.
Paul said "I do what I do not want to do, and what I want to do i do not do".
Not wanting to do something, even seen as beneficial, is nothing new. Just because that thing happens to be a spiritual one doesn't mean you're somehow bad. By nature people aren't consistent. Emotions, hormones, etc... all affect us. It's normal.

there have been plenty of times I don't want to talk with the Lord when I'm sad/depressed/etc. many of those times, I'm just honest with Him. no fancy words. no cliches. just honest. I cry/complain... just open up my heart and share with Him exactly how I feel. after all, He already knows, right? lol. after I have a good cry, a lot of the times (or maybe each time), I get up feeling better. heck! sometimes, after a good cry, I end up remembering how God has helped me in the past, and then the sad session becomes a worship session!

What I usually do when I am down like this, I just praise Him anyway. That really make the devil mad. God does back away from us to test us to see if our faith endures the valleys. Praise God for the valleys too. without them, we wouldn't recognize mountain tops. If you are doing anything for God, of course you are under attack.
