Yeah, I guess we all have plateaus spiritually speaking. I'm trying to read some books that explain the scriptures better, as I got stuck in a rut of just reading but not really thinking deeply. One thing we were challenged to do while serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was to choose a sacrifice of some kind that would bring us closer to God. So I decided to start getting up half an hour earlier every day and pray longer, with more expressions of gratitude. I didn't always stay awake during that half hour, but it was interesting how much more calm I felt about life in general. So there are a couple of possibilities for you.

Speak with a minister or other relgious leader, maybe a deacon or Sunday school teacher. If you have trouble reaching any of these, then try some church member that can help you.
Some may not think of thier relationship with God is serious, but it is very serious and I'm glad your taking time out to ask such questions.
I have been saved, baptized at the Hymera First Baptist Church and a member.
Hope this will help you. May God be with you.

Talk to (pray) God. Tell Him you feel stuck. That in your heart you believe there is more that He wants you to do. Then be ready for His answer. What He asks of you may be hard, but trust me, He will walk with you no matter what you face. If you are asking Him to take you out of your comfort zone, you can be sure He'll oblige. It could be close to home or far away. Listen for His still, small voice within you. God bless!

HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE GOD VIEWS THE SAME QUESTION - ? DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT GOD THINKS BEING RIGHT WITH YOU IS A MATTER OF STEPS OR AN ABSOLUTE THING YOU EITHER HAVE OR DON'T HAVE. WHEN WILL GOD BE ENOUGH? IF YOU CAN SOMEHOW STOP ALL THIS PROCESS OF THOUGHT ABOUT GOD, GOD WILL BEGIN TO SPEAK TO YOU IN THE NEW SILENCE WITHIN YOU, AND THEN YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS NOT A GETTING-THERE THING. YOU EITHER HAVE IT AND ARE TUNED IN, OR YOU DON'T. GOD IS THERE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT. SO YOU CAN RELAX ABOUT THIS ONE.

The most you can advance is to become a nun or a preacher (or something like a preacher), but if you don't want to go that far then you should pray more.

Why not just talk with God yourself and ask Him how he would like you to proceed. Trust that He will guide you in the right direction.

Prayer, biblical study, and conversing with your minister.
