I will not go to church neither will I read the Bible nor will I pray

[Dexter2020]

I will not go to church neither will I read the Bible nor will I pray and I have lost all hope in Jesus Christ.

We hear the depth of your despair and the weight of your words, and our hearts ache for you. It is clear that you are in a place of profound spiritual exhaustion, and we want you to know that even in this darkness, you are not forgotten. The Lord sees you, hears you, and loves you—even when you feel far from Him. His mercy is not dependent on our feelings or our faithfulness, but on His unchanging nature.

First, we must gently but firmly rebuke the lie that you are beyond hope. The enemy would love for you to believe that your distance from God is permanent, that your weariness is too great, or that your doubts have disqualified you. But Scripture tells us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Your honesty about your struggles is not a sign of weakness—it is the first step toward healing. The fact that you are even expressing this pain shows that there is still a flicker of longing for God within you, and He will fan that flame if you let Him.

We also must address the danger of cutting yourself off from the very means God has given to sustain and restore you. Church, the Bible, and prayer are not just religious obligations—they are lifelines. The body of Christ exists to carry one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), Scripture is *"living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword"* (Hebrews 4:12), and prayer is the breath of the soul. When you say you will not engage in these things, you are, in a sense, refusing the very tools God uses to draw near to you. We urge you to reconsider this stance, not out of legalism, but because these are the channels through which God has promised to meet you.

Now, about your loss of hope in Jesus Christ—this is the most critical matter. If you have truly walked away from faith in Him, then we must plead with you to examine your heart. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have abandoned hope in Christ, you are not just turning away from a religion—you are turning away from the only One who can offer you true forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life. But even now, His arms are open. The parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) reminds us that no matter how far we stray, the Father is waiting to run to us when we turn back.

We also want to ask: What has led you to this place? Is it unanswered prayers? Disillusionment with the church? A personal crisis or sin that has made you feel unworthy? Whatever it is, we want to stand with you in it. The psalmists often cried out in despair—*"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"* (Psalm 22:1)—yet they always returned to truth: *"But you are holy, O you who inhabit the praises of Israel"* (Psalm 22:3). Even in their darkest moments, they remembered who God is.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who feels so far from You. Lord, we know that You are not distant—You are near to the brokenhearted. We ask that You would break through the walls of despair and reveal Yourself in a way that cannot be ignored. Soften this heart, Lord. Remind them of Your love, which is not based on their performance but on Your grace. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that say they are beyond hope or that You have abandoned them. Your Word says that *"if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself"* (2 Timothy 2:13). Restore their hope in Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

Father, we ask that You would stir within them a hunger for Your Word, a longing for fellowship with Your people, and a desire to pray—not out of duty, but out of a renewed relationship with You. If there is unconfessed sin, reveal it and lead them to repentance. If there is hurt, heal it. If there is doubt, meet it with Your truth. We declare over them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Lord, we also pray for the church—may we be a people who reflect Your love, not judgment, to those who are struggling. Help us to carry one another’s burdens and to point always to the hope found in Christ. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who died and rose again so that we might have life. Amen.

Friend, we do not say these things lightly. We know that the Christian walk is not always easy, and there are seasons where faith feels like a battle. But we also know that Jesus is worth fighting for. You are not alone in this. If you are willing, we encourage you to take one small step—whether it’s opening Your Bible to Psalm 23, reaching out to a trusted believer, or simply whispering, *"God, if You’re real, show me."* He will answer that prayer.

And if you have never truly placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, we urge you to do so now. The Bible says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). This is not about religion—it’s about a relationship with the One who loves you more than you can imagine. He is waiting for you.

We're here with you, friend. We understand that sometimes, the weight of life can feel overwhelming, and it's easy to lose sight of hope. But remember, even in the darkest night, the sun is still shining, even if we can't see it. God is always there, always loving you, even when you feel far from Him.

We want to encourage you, first, to be gentle with yourself. It's okay to not be okay all the time. It's okay to have doubts, to struggle, to feel tired. What's important is that you're honest with yourself and with God. He can handle your doubts, your questions, your pain. In fact, He wants you to bring them to Him. As it says in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Now, about not going to church, not reading the Bible, not praying - we get it. It's hard to reach for things that feel like they've let you down or that you feel you've let down. But remember, these are not just rituals or obligations. They're lifelines, gifts from God to sustain and restore us. The church is a family, the Bible is living and active, and prayer is the breath of the soul. They're not meant to be done out of duty, but out of relationship. And God meets us in them, even when we feel far away.

We also want to remind you that your hope is not in your feelings or your faithfulness, but in Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No matter how far you may feel you've strayed, He is waiting with open arms. The prodigal son in Luke 15 is a beautiful reminder of this.

Lastly, we want to ask, what's led you to this place? Is there something you've been carrying alone? We're here to listen, to pray with you, to stand with you. The psalmists cried out in despair, but they always returned to truth. Even in their darkest moments, they remembered who God is.

Let's pray together:

Lord, we come to You today with our brother/sister who feels so far from You. Lord, You are not distant. You are near to the brokenhearted. We ask that You would break through the walls of despair and reveal Yourself in a way that cannot be ignored. Soften this heart, Lord. Remind them of Your love, which is not based on performance but on grace. Rebuke the lies of the enemy that say they are beyond hope or that You have abandoned them. Restore their hope in Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Stir within them a hunger for Your Word, a longing for fellowship with Your people, and a desire to pray. If there is unconfessed sin, reveal it and lead them to repentance. If there is hurt, heal it. If there is doubt, meet it with Your truth. We declare over them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, we also pray for the church, that we may be a people who reflect Your love, not judgment, to those who are struggling. Help us to carry one another's burdens and to point always to the hope found in Christ. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who died and rose again so that we might have life. Amen.

Friend, you are not alone. If you're willing, take one small step. It could be opening your Bible to Psalm 23, reaching out to a trusted believer, or simply whispering, "God, if You're real, show me." He will answer that prayer. And if you've never truly placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, we urge you to do so now. It's not about religion, it's about a relationship with the One who loves you more than you can imagine. He is waiting for you.
