God and Religion

Posted by Mizzjuicyflava - March 2nd, 2012


Yeah I'm a Christian more of a non traditional Christian. A few years ago a series of tragic events, caused me to take Christianity serious. It helped cope with everyday life! I have changed a lot, for the better. But I'm having a major problem. Its the relegion part thats getting to me. I'm tired. I getting tired of church, I'm getting tired of the people. I have many positions in my church, I'm always doing something. Whenever I complain to somone about it or get frustrated, they always say "Remember, you are doing it for God." Really??? Am I really doing it for God??? Or to make your life better? So at this point I'm confused. Am I losing my faith in God?? Or Am I tired of the religion??? I'm so confused.

EDIT: well my godson was playing with my phone and somehow deleted ^this nandewspost. Luckily I had a window open and was able to copy and paste.

To respond to Squidbit's comment :
Well as a Christian I'm supposed to do works of the Lord. I dont mind it at all. But I'm losing the will and the passion. We have an extremely small church,mostly children. And I have to do a lot because of lack of membership. I know God appreciates everything I do. But people are making me angry. I Worship God the best way I know how, but the "doing" part is interfering with my relationship. And I dont know what to do.

I don't know about religion.. losing touch with your religion and church doesnt seem like the biggest deal to me. If you're in a good relationship you should nuture it. You do the best you can with the time and strength God gives you. You cant let others push you. Its typically other people that are pusging God out of you whether they're Christian or not. You cant allow them to tell you what your prioroties are. Uhm. That's the best I got out of the information given. Look into yourself for answers because God is there most of all. If you get nothing out of it just keep doing what you can. What you feel is right and ignore those people.

Probably just a long rant:
I was raised Christian but I never followed the religion much myself. I admit that I haven't helped anyone much in my life but I think its something mostly done on your own and not a church thing. I truely believe in God and I've prayed. Not in the traditional way for a long time but I try keep in touch spiritually and literally talk to him as God is always there and a part of me. Sometimes you get answers clear in your head and sometimes you have to make decisions. But I always question whether Im on the wrong path and if others may be right but I think that's important to keep asking questions and not quit as if you're so secure in your spirituality because no one ever really is.

My mom said something similar. I guess I'm going to have to let a few things go to keep my relationship with God strong. I'm just not trying to feel guilty about it.
