Today, at least half a dozen people asked if I was okay.


I said no.


They asked why.


I told them that if I knew why, I probably wouldn't be like this.


So, my question to you is this: is it melodrama? Am I just letting my woes trample all over me to get attention?


Or is there something really wrong? Am I really broken? A lot of my friends have been encouraging me through Christ, but I feel like their words have fallen on deaf ears. A lot of people are praying for me, and I wish they wouldn't. I've been silent. I have no heart to pray. Or maybe it's just apathy, and I'm being completely ridiculous. I don't know.


A very close friend told me that "I've got my arm under you, so there's no reason to be lonely anymore..."


To that friend I say that if I am a burden to myself, then if I really called you any time I needed encouragement or whatever, I'd become like an anvil shackled to your ankle.


Loneliness...I sound so pitiful. Maybe I'm really hurting, or maybe I just want pity. I don't know.


I don't know...

There are times when we don't feel God's presence in our lives. There are times when we don't see the point in praying because we don't think we can mean it in our hearts. There are times when nothing makes sense, and the world seems like it has no purpose. These are the times that we are either most obedient to God, or we fall away from Him. If we do not feel Him in this world, yet we still follow His commandments and pray to Him even if we don't want to, it is then that Satan is in the most danger. It is then that God smiles down upon us and says "Well done, good and faithful servant." Michael, I love you, and out of that love I say to you don't be selfish and say that you shouldn't pray because you know you can't mean it or feel it. You know that you pray because you seek Him. Seek Him, Michael, and He will reward you. If not in this life, even more in the next. Just look a Job. Love In Christ, Zach
