Do you ever feel like Jeremiah and think whats the use nobody is listening anyway why bother telling anybody that Jesus wants to save them not send them to hell
We have to expect a negative response. 2 Tim 3:1-5 tells that in the last day men will be lovers of pleasure rather than God. And Jesus told in Mat 5:12 that the earlier prophets were persecuted too, so we should expect it. But Jehovah will give us the needed strength (Phil 4:13).
It is one of the surest signs that we are at the end of this Church age.
Eze 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, DANIEL, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 14:20 Though Noah, DANIEL, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
We can only deliver our own souls. But keeping on with our ministry is one way of doing that. We cannot stop, even if no one listens to us. It will be a witness against them, that they heard the truth and spit upon it.
Everyone can get to feeling like that sometimes. Not just Christians, but everyone. It's frustrating when you think you've got the answers, but no one is listening.

I usually feel that there is more likely something lacking in my witnessing and relationship with God.

we all have ups and downs in our walk with God.
Keep your faith.
