All my life I have been raised in a Christian family. I "think" I got saved about a year ago in a revival at my church. I've tried to live right and read the Bible and pray and have faith. But it seems like I can't feel God. I feel about the same as I did before I got saved only a little different. I feel so emty inside and I don't know what to do. I see other people at my church getting blessings and I just sit there and feel nothing. I don't want to admit that I may have backslide but I feel like I have. I don't have the desire to read my Bible or pray anymore. I want to be saved but I don't feel like it. Please help! Any advice or suggestions would really be appreciated!

A person isn't saved or not, based upon how they feel. We are saved based upon what Jesus did and what God's word says about it.
What you are missing is a good walk. Acts 2:42 is the passage that our congregation is based upon. "And they persevered in the doctrine of the apostles, in fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Persevered - because it is hard and takes effort to keep going.
Apostle's doctrine - learning the scriptures.
Fellowship - hanging out with Christians. You will be as your friends are.
Breaking of bread - the Lord's Supper. Getting together to remember Christ.
Prayers - need to spend time talking with God.
To have a good walk, to receive the blessings He wants for you, to understand better His will for your life, persevere in these things.
