Isn't that from a Velvet Underground song? I still believe in God but he no longer belives in me?

God is. God does not shrink or grow. Part of life is highs and lows, that is what makes us human. Don't be afraid to be angry, don't be ashamed to show love. We are all going through the same thing, we just handle it differently.

God does not need to believe in you. He is your creator and knows all there is to know about you. He loves you and sent His Son to die for your sins that you may be reuinted with Him. Accept this truth and the Holy Spirit will fill you for you are his temple, his home. You will no longer shrink, but you will grow with God. Jesus is the way, the only way, for you or I.

He done all for you what else could He do? He died for your sins, He was buried and took your sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. The Spirit baptized you into His Body, 1 Corinthians 12: 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The Spirit sealed you until the day of redemption Ephesians 4: 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.and The Spirit circumcised you by cutting away the flesh of sin. Colossians 2: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Your salvation is complete trust in what He done for you and stop depending on what you can do for him.

God believes in ALL of his children. Do you spend time with him everyday? It's natural to doubt him at times, but with as much faith as you say you have you should know he loves you and is always there for you whether or not you feel him. Remember that God always answers prayers, even if it isn't what we want to hear, he always answers them, you just have to listen. Often it means you have to let him take on your every day stresses and worries. Just pray to him, spend time with him and remember he loves you more than you could fathom.

Unfortunately that means you don't really believe in him. Those who realize the all powerful creator of the universe loves them don't shrink.

"Just what is it in me
Sometimes I just don’t know
What keeps me in your love
Why you never let me go
And though you’re in me now
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel
You have forgiven me
Too many times, it seems
I feel I’m not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all
And though I love you so
Temptation find its way to me
[chorus]
Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
’Cause I just forget
You won’t give me what I can’t bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don’t wanna be there
No, no, no more
You’ve never left my side
You gave your hand to me
To hold you, Oh Jesus,
I’m no longer in the cold
And yet, I leave you there
When I feel satisfied
I’d like to thank you everyday
Not only when I feel this way
I’ve never known a man who’d give his life
For sinners like me
And yet because he loves us so
He’s promised us eternity
And we can have that promise and be His
If we have faith and just believe"

read the footprints in the sand. he loves and believes in you more than you know. he is always there and when you need him the most believe me he is there. you might realize it the moment but he is there. please don't give up on God because he would never give up on you. he is the light that fills the darkness, he always leaves the light on to guide us back to him. i will pray for you and ask God to give you comfort in your heart.
blessings and prayers i send to you

When you say this, it may seem you have more faith but if you are doubting Him, then you have not as much faith as you thought you had. You should grow in faith and never doubt Him at all. He planned your life and you'll have to wait. Read the Bible more.

Spirituality is for people who are capable of believing and helping themselves.
