Zags, I could have written this very same thing! I keep asking God what is wrong with me. I almost feel like I am being sifted. I am tired of watching the people and things of this world running around doing their own un-godly, self-centered evil stuff. I am tired of christians who need to "get real". I am tired of not having time to spend with the Lord praying & talking to Him, I am tired of praying for people and situations that haven't changed in years. I am tired of my friends & relatives thinking I am "too religious, too christian, always talking about Jesus". I am tired of trying to converse with people about things going on in this world & how it relates to prophecy & having them look at me like I have 2 heads. I am tired of work, tired of dealing with people, I am tired of not having a heart full of mercy, love & compassion because I feel like the world is choking it out. And I am just barely hanging on.... trying not to take my eyes off the prize and trying to run this race to the end.

This person seems to be just one step away from the exit.
"And I am just barely hanging on.... trying not to take my eyes off the prize and trying to run this race to the end."
Fundies... always rushing about at nothing, like young kittens, while I lie in my deck chair, getting a tan and nipping at my Tequila Sunrise.
I am tired of my friends & relatives thinking I am "too religious, too christian, always talking about Jesus".
They are probably right too. You need a change of air.
So sad. Just waiting and waiting and nothing happening. Like rapture.
You see, I'm also waiting. Waiting for winning in the Lottery. There is just that one little thing... some people have actually already won Lottery. Or been hit by lightning. Or meteor. But N O O N E has been raptured and as far as I know you at RR are the only people who even believe in it when comparing to fact: everyone in western countries know what lottery is!
MATH TIME! => Odds are on my side *^^*

These people don't need heaven, they need SSRIs. It's like listening to a more annoying, whiny version of me. (And it takes some doing to get whinier than me, believe me.)
We're all tired of something(s). For instance, I'm tired of brainless Fundies prattling on about characters such as their God and Jesus as if those fictional characters were real.
As for your "Just barely hanging on," try letting go. You really can exist without imaginary friends.

Then kill yourself. Do the world a favor.
I'm not sure there's really anything I can suggest other than a hug and some long-term, qualified therapy. ESPECIALLY the latter.
This one needs counseling before it's too late.
I am tired ...
Take a nap.
"I am tired of watching the people and things of this world running around doing their own un-godly, self-centered evil stuff."
Translation: I'm tired of everyone doing things I don't approve of.
"I am tired of praying for people and situations that haven't changed in years."
Doesn't that tell you anything?
"And I am just barely hanging on.... trying not to take my eyes off the prize and trying to run this race to the end."
Like trying to catch the setting sun.
Sounds like you're tired. try sleep. Usually works.
Although I would like to send this recipe just in case:
Rapture Aid:

Ya beat me to it!
"I am tired of trying to converse with people about things going on in this world & how it relates to prophecy & having them look at me like I have 2 heads."
Now why would I look at you like you have 2 heads when it’s clear that you don't even have half a brain!?
I keep asking God what is wrong with me.
Easy one: you're a fundie.
I am tired of watching the people and things of this world running around doing their own un-godly, self-centered evil stuff.
They are minding their own business, you may want to give it a try yourself. And if people living their lives is such a painful sight, you can always stop watching.
I am tired of not having time to spend with the Lord praying & talking to Him,
Well, He is the one who set the universe in such a way that you can't fit 30 hours of prayers in one day, complaints about that should be sent to Him. I also suspect that if He existed He'd tell to stop bothering Him non-stop.
On a side note:

You do realize that there is supposed to be a difference between faith and monomania, don't you?
