Drifting Away From Your Connection To God
Think about why you do not feel connected to God and try to get rid of that feeling. Sometimes, if a loved one dies, people say that if God loved me, why did he allow my son, wife, daughter, husband, or friend to be taken away from me? It was not God that took them away; it was just part of nature that took them away, as we all have a time to be born and a time to die, as that is just part of life. People will blame God for their illness, but that was not God’s bidding, as he loves all of his flock. Some people blame God for the weather, a job loss, and more. God does not control your destiny entirely; you have choices to make on your own, and if you choose wrong, you have a learning curve to correct your mistake. God will try to lead you on the right path, but if you keep taking your own path that may be totally wrong, that is on you. God is like a lighthouse to me as he tries to lead us back to shore and safety when the storms of life grow fierce and strong. God is your best friend and your truest friend, one who will never leave your side. Try to stay anchored to God, for God is anchored, and all other ground is sinking sand.
Talk With Your Friends About What Is Troubling You
Friends can help you see things in a clearer light. Something that you think is a big thing may only be a little bump in the road that you have blown out of proportion. The right friends will help strengthen your connection to God. Talk to your minister about what may be troubling you and how it may be changing your connection to God. Your minister will listen to you and help you reconnect with God, benefiting your mind, body, and soul. Without God in your life, you are nothing at all. With God in your life, all things are possible. Some of your friends may have gone through something similar to what you are going through, and they can share what they did with you, as two minds are better than one. You may want to join a support club, Bible study group, and more. I like to visit with senior citizens, as they have shed light on things that I never thought about. Everyone can learn a lot from our seniors if we truly listen to them and respect what they are trying to tell us, as their insights will help us go further in life. Knowledge is what takes you far in life, and that is why it is important to learn something new every day. Most of the time, we blame someone because of a lack of knowledge. Never blame someone for something until you are 110% sure. If they repent and are truly sorry, forgive them. God is your forever friend through thick and thin.
