Why Is it Hard to Build a Relationship with God?
A โrelationshipโ with God sounded so good, didnโt it? It made it sound like God would be close, so close. And that spending time with God would feel as real as when a good friend finds out youโre having a hard time and drops everything to meet up with you.
But now you find yourself asking, โWhy is it hard to build a relationship with God?โ Maybe youโre having a hard time believing God is even real. You throw out prayers, but they seem to bounce off the ceiling like unanswered phone calls.
So what do you do now? Well, hereโs the prayer we pray when we feel so far from God:
A Prayer for When I Feel Far from God
God who draws near, come to me in this sense of separation, and help me draw near to you. Immanuel, โGod with us,โ please give me a tangible sense of your presence, and show me how you are close even now although I donโt feel it. And as I wait for you to meet me in my unbelief and distance, remind me that you never leave me or forsake me. And give me patience, God, to wait for resolutionโtrusting that you may be doing something good for me in this feeling of space between us. Amen.
Scripture: โDraw near to God, and he will draw near to youโ (James 4:8a).
