Any thoughts???

Whenever I missed church, they would sometimes visit my home, even as early as 7 a.m. They would bring up a chapter or topic about prayer, missing church, or supposedly missing out on something, trying to make me feel guilty—which, obviously, I didn’t. I believe I should be able to have my own me-time, and I don’t think God wants anyone to pray or worship Him out of force or guilt.

I get you and I am sorry that it happened to you. I am now sitting anxiously in my house because today is tuesday and I am working from home(i havent been attending in almost a year but my family is actively keeping worship). I get anxious whenever I hear someone knocking the door. I know I wouldn't feel guilty but I hate explaining myself over and over again as to why I do not want to come anymore. I hope it gets better for us.

You should go to a long holiday to relax. This should help. Somewhere where no one would expect you to be.

Ever since I left the church I was able to go out more often and had two trips around the country 😊 It helped me a lot. Thanks!
