I'm the type of person to run away from their problems before being hurt.
thing is.. i feel like i'm only turning to the Lord when i need help... and when it comes in time for praise i feel like... i don't want to.
when my heart is in pain i turn to him
i feel like i don't wanna feel anything for anyone; like i don't have the time or energy to. I don't want to do any work, i just want to sit and do nothing at all. i don't know whats going on with me now a days.
i'm procrastinating a lot on school work.
but i don't want to be procrastinating.. especially when it comes to God.
I don't even know what i'm doing asking you guys.
maybe a nap..
a long.. nap.

you sound like lyou are on the verge of a depression. it is ok to just ask gods help when you are hurting....but you really should THANK HIM....once in awhile.

If this has been going on for more than a month, you may be depressed (in the clinical sense). Even if it hasn't - talk to someone about it. To me it doesn't sound like this is a religion issue, but just a general feeling of apathy. That can seriously screw up your life if you don't do something about it. Doing something about it may just mean getting a hobby, making some friends, taking regular walks in the park, doing volunteer work... It may also mean getting yourself some serious help. Depends on how serious it is, and how long it's been going on.
Good luck! Life isn't always easy, that's a given. That does not mean you have to always accept that and drown in it.
Your reference at the end of a long nap, makes me think that perhaps you may be ill. Go see a doctor about that, if it persists.

One of the important maxims of Christ was, "No man (or woman) is an island.". That means that you can't isolate your self from people and expect God to solve all your problems. To be a whole man or a woman means you have to give of yourself to others so that they can know you and act toward you accordingly. It is a matter of give and take, giving love and accepting love to and from others.
A part of life is being hurt and finding out why the other hurt you and either correcting your behavior or making known to that other that he or she has hurt you so that they have a chance to correct their behavior toward you. Often a hurt from others is not even known to the other; he or she is unconscious of it. But God is not unconscious of it and what he does most of the time is to give you the courage to go out and solve the problem on your own rather than work a miracle to change someone or something.
That you do not feel anything for anyone is a symptom of your not interacting with them. And your lack of feeling toward God is likewise a symptom that you are not interacting with Him. THE FIRST STEP IS UP TO YOU! APPROACH THOSE WHOM YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AND TAKE ACTION TO START THE BALL ROLLING TO GET THE PROBLEM SOLVED! It takes action to get things done and you may get hurt but God will give you the courage to overcome that if you but ask for it. I hope this helps. Peace and Love!!

It sounds like you really need to keep "in touch" with God. and don't turn your bsck on him. I'm the same way, when things are bad I ask God for guidance and when things are good, I just forget he's even there. Maybe you should also talk to your family about this. God is there for spiritual support, but your family will always be there for the physical and the mental support that you need from them. Just keep in touch with them and in touch with God.
