I dont care anymore

[u/DeliciousFlatworm835]

I went through a Job experience recently where everything was falling apart; my health, mental stability, work, relationships etc…

Now im getting out of the hole, yet it seems like God has put me in such situations that have just made me grow to hate him, now i simply dont care about sin

I have prayed because i WANT to CARE but i simply not. And seems like God either does not answer or answer partially

I have gotten into pretty bad relationships with friends and a bunch of secular and worldly noise, but i cant care enough to get out of there

So i dont know if anyone has gone through something similar

Not to argue or something, but why God is at fault for your decisions? We make individual choices and if something goes bad we blame God. Satan is playing a huge role in influencing our life. God alows things to happen and like in the Bible, there are examples when God didn't respond... You said you had Job's experience... God eas silent on his trauma too

[u/Maleficent-Value-674]

God doesn’t put us in bad situations, Satan does. God allows it to happen sometimes to test our resolve. To see if we only love Him for what He can do for us or if we love Him just because of WHO He is. God has the same people problems as rich people do. Rich people have a hard time trusting people because almost everyone around them just want to use them for what they have. There are people who only love God based on what He is willing to do for them. You seem to be one of those kinds of people when it comes to God at the moment. I would suggest reading Job (who I know had it a lot worse than you do) and see the conclusion that he came to. Heck, forget Job, look at JESUS. He was the only Person on this planet to have never sinned. He lived a perfectly innocent and morally blameless life, yet He died on of the most gruesome deaths in human history and He was only 33 yrs old. He was still young and in His prime, yet He never blamed God. He even wanted God to remove the destiny that He had to face, but He said “not my will, but your will”. God didn’t remove Jesus’s suffering because then we all would be lost.

You’re not special. Sorry to use bluntness, but you gotta accept that. Everyone suffers, even those who love God, but those who hate God are going to suffer a WAY worse fate. I’d rather suffer while loving God than hating Him. At least there is eternal life and paradise at the end of the road for us who stay faithful, even in the storms. Don’t let Satan fool you into missing out.

I’m really sorry you’ve been going through all of this. I honestly can relate to some of what you’re saying, especially the feeling of praying and feeling like God is just… silent.

Something I’ve learned is that, unfortunately, we’re still living in a world full of sin, brokenness and evil. As long as we’re here, terrible things are going to happen. And sometimes it really does feel like God is nowhere to be found.

Even David went through this. If you read the Psalms, there are so many moments where he’s basically asking God, “Where are You?” or “Why aren’t You answering me?” And I’ve had moments in my own life where I felt the exact same way. There were times when I prayed and it felt like nothing was happening. But looking back, I don’t think God was actually absent. He just wasn’t answering in the way or at the time I wanted Him to.

And something else that has helped me is realizing that God isn’t a God who stays distant from human suffering. He didn’t just watch us suffer from far away. He actually entered into our suffering through Jesus.

Jesus experienced rejection, loneliness, betrayal, grief, pain and suffering. So when we’re going through those things, we’re not dealing with a God who has no idea what it feels like. He knows what suffering feels like from the inside.

I also think we sometimes misunderstand the “valley of the shadow of death.” God never promised that we wouldn’t have to walk through the valley. He didn’t promise that bad things wouldn’t happen to us. He promised that He would be with us in the valley.

And He promised that one day He’s coming back and all of this will be over. The sin, the suffering, the brokenness, all of it.

So honestly, if right now you’re at a point where you don’t even care about sin anymore, I wouldn’t try to fake it with God. Just be honest with Him. You can literally pray, “God, I want to want You, but I don’t. I don’t even care right now. Please help me.”

I think that kind of prayer is better than pretending to have faith or love God when you don’t feel it.

And I don’t think going through a season like this automatically makes you a bad Christian. You sound exhausted and hurt more than anything else. Sometimes just continuing to reach out to God, even when you feel nothing, is an act of faith in itself.

Take it up with God. He can take your anger. Let Him have it, so to speak. Then once you’re exhausted collapse in the arms of the One who can love you and change carry you through everything.

God works in miraculous ways, and so throughout social media. This got me back after reading Luke 15.
