I have been distant from my Lord for a while now for many reasons. My reasons include business, sadly; lack of desire to put time into Him, and selfishness concerning my time and activities. I am embarrassed to say, that at this point in my walk, I feel so far away from the Lord. At this moment in time I feel like I although I am beginning to put in more effort, this is difficult, and I do not feel connected to Him. This journal is in an effort to walk with Christ daily and draw near to him even when I do not feel like it. I believe that God will bless me through this effort and come along side me and grow my spiritual relationship with Him.
I am starting a book study today called, "Experiencing Spiritual Intimacy" by Mary Graham that was referred to me by a good friend. Today, in the study the scripture Isaiah 58:2 was a great reminder to me that followers of God should seek God day after day, and be eager to know God's ways and for Him to come near to them.
This is my prayer for myself, that I would seek God, not only daily, but every minute of every day. I long to be near to God and feel His presence upon me daily. Although I do not yet feel His presence daily, I feel it is not far off, and I believe He is near to me always, even in my distance from Him, he is never far away.
