I'm going through a tough mental time at the minute, and although I don't really like asking for prayers as I feel selfish when doing so, I am coming to ask you guys for prayers. I don't feel like I am connecting to God no matter what I try, and this distance from him is effecting me massively. The sports which I love to play and things I love to do are beginning to feel like a chore. It feels as if I cannot enjoy anything in life anymore. Please pray for this time to pass, and for me to feel truly joyful again. Thank you.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

If you've never fasted while reading his Word, I highly recommend it. Just a light fast; postpone one meal. It creates a powerful bond with the Lord that makes you feel his love and comfort. It's quality time with the Lord. Also say the Lord's prayer over and over again.
