Tired of the Mundane

As long as mundane is the same word, i am thinking.

I've been tired of just going through "Mundane Christianity". It seems that i'm getting so use to being close to God. Now, it seems that, all i can say, is that my faith has become a routine. I hate it when my faith becomes just a daily... "to do" list. It drives me crazy. Yet as much as i try to grow close to God, it feels like i've "already said it all". If you understand. The best i can explain it is, all my prayers seem to becoming redundant. my real request is just for a new spark in my Walk with God. It is becoming very hurtful to myself to feel like there is nothing left for me to say to God.

I just ask for prayer... for a "new spark".

I don't know what to pray. Please, just.... help.

Without prayer, i feel worthless. I try to read my Bible, yet without prayer and meditation, i feel like it was waisted time. My strongest area in my own life has become redundant... so that is my prayer.
New POWER in my prayers.
 
Congratulations! Dry times mean that you are getting ready to get even closer to God, provided you keep seeking him and don't give in to despondency.


I know, that just sounded cheesy. My apologies -- sometimes the truth is so simple that you can't separate it from the cheese.


My personal advice is that if you're finding yourself stuck in a routine, it's time to get rid of the routine. Don't pray 'at 7:00 AM every morning for half-an-hour-to-an-hour.' Pray whenever you find yourself thinking about God, or about others, or about life, and think that God just might be interested in hearing about it too. Chances are he is.

Maybe try carrying your Bible around with you and reading it at odd times. Or hang out with believers and others who stretch and challenge your beliefs so that you are forced to keep going back into the Bible and digging around for more truth.

Meditate on everything. Meditate on the truths and not-so-truths of popular music -- can you tell the difference? Meditate on movies, on conversations, on sermons and on jokes. Let the Spirit guide you to see what he wants you to see in the mundane things of life.


Heavenly Father, we know that you are not the god of "same-old, same-old. We know that life with you is often unpredictable, and we give you glory because of that. We also repent of our habits of trying to put you into routines and systems. We acknowledge that we need to follow your will and not our own.

For Glitch specifically, we pray that you would light a new, stronger fire in him (her?). We pray that you would fill his life with a continual prayer, a continual awareness of your closeness, and a continual drive to follow your leading. We pray that his walk with you would transcend the routine and the rote, and that it would be an exciting and unpredictable, and ultimately fulfilling walk with you.

As with all things, we pray that all glory in every circumstance would go to you. AMEN!

God Bless you brother. that is a great encouragement.

I do, constantly, pray through out the day. I do keep my Bible with me at all times, and usually get to read it if i have free time before or after a class period. I love those times. I cherish them so close to my heart. Even with this just ONE day, i really can feel God entering into my life in a closer manner.

The best reason i see it happening so fast, is: you can really realize that God WON"T forsake you... the "blockage" is on my side. Once i remind myself that... God seriously is good about shining a light onto what is wrong. GOD WILLING, that i am free. I'm just cleaning out the blockage and God has shown me tremendous mercy and grace. Thank you again for the words of encouragement and prayer.

God Bless.


and yes, i am a guy.
 
Remember that you are walking in red letter moments not just reading about it. Time to reflect, Time to pray, Time to SMILE. We all get the need for a spark and yeh you are being prep'd for something more and you don't even see it, but you will. Funny how a spark relates easily to a mustard seed. Growth is growth whether it be slow or fast its still growth. Will pray for you to have a surge of growth in his will.
 
thank you guys for your concern. I was just really worried about turning it into a "spring thing" (similar to David's spring thing - to fall when you are weak).

So i thank you for your prayers
 
im going thru the same thing as u.

as nei suggested find diff times to pray, pray diff things.

one thing i leanred and am still trying to comprehend is that no matter how long or how small, how in-depth, ur prayer is, god hears it and loves it.

idk where i read it but in teh bible somewhere it says

"it doest not matter what you pray, the holy spirit is a translater of all you have to say." (not exactly word for word but u get the jist)

i went to a christian concert and one of the bands playign said something that rlly inspired me also.

god loves to hear your voice

no matter your prayer god loves it, he jsut wants to hear u talking to him, he jsut wants to hear your voice.
