When I’m getting bored with my relationship with God it’s because I’m not allowing myself to grow. If a person is not growing in a relationship he/she may start to get bored with that relationship. This is even true in both bad and good relationships. It’s like with anything else in life if you’re not growing in a certain area it becomes boring and without purpose. He doesn’t want us to stay at the same place. My cousin “K” once told me “when you start to feel like, now what? Well, it means God is trying to get your attention” God is trying to take all of the things He taught you in Algebra I and II, and He wants you to use them to learn Calculus. There have literally been times in Bible study or regular service when I’ve wanted to raise my hand and say, “I’m sorry, but I think we did this same lesson last week?” Not to say I’m an expert in all things Godly, because I’m not! But I have been going to church my whole life, so certain things about serving God have become commonplace. I compare it to the feeling of being a mathematician and feeling like your sitting in Algebra class.
Almost with an “I’ve heard it all before” attitude. At times it’s on fire and I’m full of Godly motivation, but recently I’ve found myself without zeal for God. I recently had a thought about my relationship with God and how it has changed over the years. I lamented to my husband about my feelings and decided to get real with myself and really evaluate the problem by writing it down.
Church had become boring, and I really needed a change. Not too long ago I came across this devotional that I wrote to myself when I was feeling really stagnant in my relationship with Christ.
