Repent.
Get connected.
Your name shows you still love the world.
1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an
offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Besides Prayer, what do U do for service to God??? Do U Volunteer to Help with Ur time by taking care of the Elderly, Teaching Kids, Visiting at the Hospital??? We often get "Side Tracked" when we start dwelling on Us instead those Around Us. When was the last time U Really, Really Studied a Doctrine of the Bible until U Knew All About it??? Try some of these things & see how much Better U Will feel. John

Get back into fellowship..most important.
That is the reason we are warned against being unequally yoked...it does this to our faith.
Once you are back in church and spending time with christians, go back to reading the word, prayer and praise and things will eventually move back to normal.

Your relationship with god is with you no matter where you are or what you are doing. It does not matter if you attend church or not, choose the love/fellowship path , at the end of this life it will be you and god noone else.

If you're not feelin' it then you're just not feelin' it. Just question everything in life, don't look for answers, look for better questions.
Try reading "A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" by Annie Dillard, it isn't about god per se, but about appreciating life.
If it is really bothering you, talk to your pastor/minister, whatever.

The scriptures teach that ou are who you hang with... I'll leave it to you to find it....
Seriously, it's like any other "relationship"... hang with G-d if you want to get closer (or with friends of G-d... ) Not with those who are not "of G-d".
