I have already asked for help at the church a few times, and it didn't work. I really want to have peace in my heart and the certainty that I have received a new beginning, but when I kneel to pray and ask for forgiveness, I can't confess my sins and repent. I say what I think I did wrong and say that I am sorry, but it is nothing more than an empty word. There is no crying, no direction, no change.
No matter how hard I try, I can't. I find myself without direction, without strength, and each day sinking deeper into a bottomless pit. I am a living dead inside the church. If anyone can help me, whether in prayer or in any other way, I would be grateful. I just want to return, but I can't repent, confess... I feel like I'm trapped when I go to pray and try to get closer to God.
And there's still the damn pet sin most common among Christians, I think you already know what it is. Please help me, I want to return. I want to have my eyes opened to understand what I need to do, I want to repent and come to my senses, I want to feel the weight of sin, have the conviction of sin and repent, and believe in God's forgiveness, grace, and mercy, but I can't. I try to confess, but it seems like nothing in my head makes sense. My head is a mess, I am more lost than ever.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
