I am a Christian, but my mood today is that I am a seed choked by thorns!
"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit." Mark 4:7

If you choose Jesus to be your metaphorical "gardener", then surely you know the thorns that have grown to suffocate you will be cut away. No gardener stands by while his work is drowned in overgrowth. I have also felt very similar. There is nothing hidden nor unforgivable to the eyes of the lord. Humility is a great fertilizer ;) I hope you feel better soon!

Blessed are thore who endure persecution for my namesake (paraphrase). the WORLD does not Love God, but we are not of the world though we live in it. persevere and you shall reap the rewards. May God ease your suffering.
Also that parable was given to show how to live your life as the planter not the seed. Sow YOUR seeds. some will fall by the wayside but if if you sow with faith you shall produce fruit

You feel like you are yielding no fruit? Fun! Metaphors!
Well, go accomplish something and then you'll feel like you are yeiling. I feel that way too, sometimes (yup even atheists have emothions). I just fo out and get some things done and then I feel better.

Sounds to me as if Christianity is not filling your spiritual needs.
Try another church or explore other religions for one that answers your spiritual questions.
