Heart feelings and God?

Question

If I can't feel my heart, if it is like a stone, unable to feel forgiveness, caring, love, does that mean I'm damned. I pray to God to give me them back and to help me feel, but I can only pray with my mind, not my heart and he won't answer

Answer 1

You are not damned, you are just in pain. You have everything you need already inside you. God didn't take them from you, I bet another human did. God only gives love, God is love. Allow your heart to bleed, allow yourself to completely feel all the pain that is there, so it can be released. You no longer need it, it doesn't belong to you anymore.
Then do something different - go to church, or go to a different one, go to an art museum, go to a playground & watch children play, volunteer at a shelter or woman's home, or try making a gratitude list - of all the things you are grateful for.
Take heart, dear one, this is only a phase and I promise there is another side... you just have to work your way there.

Answer 2

How do you know your feelings are wrong, maybe this is the way God wants you to feel. Without knowing circumstances, is hard to say what the problem is. But you do not feel anything God does not understand. If you believe the Bible it says ;
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Answer 3

Surely if you are praying to have these things back then it must come from your heart otherwise you would not sincerely want them! Maybe God does not answer because you have lessons to learn and have to find these attributes yourself? Maybe, too, you have been extremely hurt and thus your heart does not 'feel' at the moment. In time it will.

Answer 4

He does answer am sure in your daily life you have noticed people who are kind to you for no reason and that although slowly some things will have changed for the better.
Everything in life takes time, its a process be patient God works on your heart and he will and is answering you and healing you.
Be encouraged.

Answer 5

Perhaps you are praying to the wrong God.

For years I prayed to the judgmental, punishing God the Christians told me about, but I felt like I was waisting my time.

Then I found a book that told me about the real unconditionally loving God.

This God is real and will answer when you call.

The book is called the course in miracles.

Try it. It works.

Answer 6

You are a lost soul and your f@*ked. God won't mend your heart and he won't hear your prayers. Only you can make your heart better and don't put it in the hands of something that is not there.

My God exists as my creator but it's not connected with any religion and it won't answer prayers

Answer 7

Well, God will answer, this will take time. I would advise you to read the Bible, this should help you understand more. Than praying should be a lot easier. Hope that helps.

Answer 8

You have to let God get into your life first, letting him, thinking in nothing else, while time goes on you will start to feel his presence in your heart.

Answer 9

Try emailing him,if you have his Mobile no.call or text.If you don't get a reply, maybe he doesn't exist.Now there's a thought!I'm really not trying to be a smarta*s,but you have to deal with your pain,either by yourself,or with the help of others.God doesn't come into it.Good luck.

Answer 10

Why don't you stop asking God for everything? Don't you think He's waiting for you to get the message?

Putting all the blame on Him is a good excuse. "God doesn't give me the things I want so I can't do it."

What a nice excuse, and it serves you well since you don't have to do the legwork.

God is probably banging His head on the wall with you.
