I've lost everything but my life, finding the ways of God has taken all that I have. I am not sad, I am not mad, I am not left feeling bad.

But

There's something here, in this void of everything. Something I can't leave, it's him it's me

And

It's... I'm not sure.

I'm afraid you're still in the spiraling cycle of depression.  But instead of the usual "sadness" you're just feeling empty.  That "something in the void" you're feeling is the last remnant of the Lord's voice that is still calling to you.  

When trying to feel the Spirit in my life there are some things to consider.

First, if you're actually feeling depressed, then you can't feel the Spirit (my understanding).  Depression is sadness, grief, loneliness, self-hate, world-hate, etc.  But the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long-suffering...  The two sets of feelings are incompatible.  

So, how do you kick off the one set of feelings and start feeling the others?  Excellent question.  There I think I can help.  If you believe what I've written so far describes you accurately let me know.

Well, I don't know what to say.

That's the worst part, isn't it? When you don't know how to articulate what you are feeling because words fail. 

You are in my prayers. Stay strong, know that we are praying for you.

You should have posted in the poetry forum.

He, he, he

It all worked out!

But it's not what I expected, still lost everything though except

What was true.

I can live off that, praise Jesus?
