1 | Why does he fall asleep at church? | Luke 8:15 | Samantha432 | 153257 | ||
Hello everyone. Everytime my husband listens to a sermon, goes to church, or we try to have a bible study, he starts falling asleep. Aside from it being the most annoying thing, I really want to help him because he's missing out on so much. What's weird is that he will do all sorts of other things and be totally fine, but as soon as we start talking about God, Boom! He's tired, he's sleeping, and dosing. What can I do? He thinks it's the devil trying to hinder his relationship with God. Should he even go to church if he's going to fall asleep? I'm praying for some help, thanks guys! |

It is not the devil hindering your husband, it is your husband hindering himself. He says he believes in God, but he doesn't understand and he hasn't a clue what all that entails. He needs to first find his passion for Christ, so that he may be hungry for the word. It could be that he is at a church where he is unable to grow spiritually. He needs to find a church home, where he is moved by the spirit. I had the same experience years ago. I thought church was boring because I wasn't hungry for the word, it was something my mom made me do. One day I heard a sermon and it changed my life. I began to want to know more about God, and I started reading the bible. I found myself anxious for the next sermon. It sounds like he believes in God because he thinks it is the right thing to do, similar to a kid in church. He doesn't realize that christianity is about a personal intimate relationship with God, and not just about sitting in church. It may also be that he doesn't know his God given puurpose in life, in which many of us don't, because we don't have faith, we have religion. The best thing to do is to pray about it, and trust God will lead you to a church or person that will spark his spiritual motivation. Last, don't force him or push God on him. By this I mean, some people are more gifted in discussing Christ than others. This does not mean, you can't talk about God with your husband. This simply mean, there may be others who can spark the flame. Sometimes as a spouse we try so hard that husbands or wives become put off by our actions and they associate it with church or Christ. Be patient. I hope this helps. |
