Best of luck my dude. You are most certainly not turning away. You've just been called to do what we're all called to do: that is, to die to self and be reborn. Pray for us down on the ground. These days we need it.

Search yourself for everything separating you from God (anything separating you from God will fit under the Great Commandment: Matthew 22:36-39) and strip yourself of those things, i.e. detachment. Think: what lies am I telling myself? What am I hiding from?

Then tell Him what you have to tell Him at that moment. Not what you think you should or what other people might say, but what YOU need to. Even just talk to Him about how you don't know what to say. It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it is SINCERE. That's all God wants, SINCERE LOVE on your part. Prayer after all is the Holy Spirit in you, praying on your behalf. So as far as your actions are concerned, all prayer consists of is stripping away everthing that comes between you and God, i.e., everything in you that separates you from Truth.

Also keep in mind that Christian spirituality is not about going into wierd hallucinogenic states like commodified Eastern spirituality. Christian spirituality is about knowing God so that you can go out and serve Him. FEELING God is secondary to that.

Ultimately everything that I've just said is worthless. Authentic spirituality cannot be described, though what I've just said is the closest I could come to describing my own approach. But maybe it can offer you a starting point for your own journey (in fact, that's why the Church has so many different forms of spirituality; because they each cater to different kinds of people).

This. Human life is a priori immoral. You have EARN your innocence.

Knowledge of despair gives freedom, blissful ignorance does not. I take dispair any day.
