I'm not exactly sure how this started.

I used to always begin my day with prayers and studying the Bible. But of late, I've been finding it difficult to continue this practise.

I also have no desire to go to church anymore. I find I don't learn anything from the Bible whenever I attend. Either I'm too busy working (I'm a worker), or the sermons mostly borders on how to attain wordly success—things I can easily pull up from one of Anthony Robbin's motivational books.

I'm involved in a lot of things in church. I occupy several leadership positions (which I didn't ask for) and every Sunday feels like an office meeting.

I get home feeling drained and tired after several meetings. I don't learn anything from church and I no longer feel the passion I used to have.

I dunno what's happening. My spiritual life is wearing thin.

Go on personal retreat. By personal retreat I mean you alone with God, get revival messages you'll listen to, separate yourself from everything and everyone.

Any pastor that can feel sad because you want to get connected back to God does not love you....

*. Song of Solomon 1:6 "KJV:Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept ."

Thanks a lot. I'll imbibe this.

What has church attendance and praying to do with wetin Jesus Christ even tell you say make you do?

• Jesus Christ never told His followers to attend churches or do anything in places called churches.
• Jesus Christ never that one was required to say X amount of prayers each single day.
• When asked by His disciples how to pray, Jesus Christ(God in the Kingdom of God) taught them to say what we call 'The Lord's prayer' a prayer that needs only be said once a day for those who wish to pray everyday.

But most importantly, Jesus Christ said those who love Him are those who obey His commandments and teachings. He described His friends as those who do what He says.

So Op, the major problem with your so-called spiritual life is that you are following the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) , that which is a sin against God, instead of submitting to and obeying the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of God.
