    Please pray for restoration of my mind back to God. I am a child of Christ but the enemy has been trying to make me feel like God is so far away from me and He doesn't even hear my prayers when I pray. Please pray with me that I can break free and get the victory that JESUS died for me so that I could attain freedom. Thank you for all that you do and continue to pray for me that I will be real.

    Dear Annamae, It's hard, I know, but we must not go by the way we feel. Philippians 4:6-7. Just because we feel that God is far from us doesn't mean He is. He has promised to never leave us. Psalm 118:6. The devil will cause you to feel the way you do to disrupt your relationship with God. Here are a few weapons to use against him.

    James 4:7 Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

    1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

    Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment

    thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

    1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

    I am praying for you...

    The fact that you are feeling convictions that are causing doubt shows that the Holy Spirit is inside of you and working on you. Spiritually dead people do not worry about salvation. Only those whom are filled with the Holy Spirit have such thoughts. If your actions are grieving the Holy Spirit I recommend you be watchful of your convictions and turn from the things causing you to feel convicted. The Holy Spirit is trying to conform you to the image of Christ. Its not an overnight process its an ongoing battle against sin until you pass over into Heaven as Paul tells us in Romans chapter 7.

    Romans 7:25 "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."

    Ephesians 4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."
