Afraid

[Hoamoor]

I've done many things over the years that have compromised my relationship with God. I struggle to hear His voice or feel His presence. I know scripture says we seek Jesus, because the Father draws us (John 6:37 and John 6:44); so I know the Father is still drawing me. However, I fear that I've hardened myself to the Holy Spirit significantly. Please pray God would do whatever it takes to see me walking in intimacy with God again, and to be Led and obedient to the Holy Spirit again.

We understand your concern about feeling distant from God due to past actions, but we want to assure you that God's love and grace are boundless. It's true that sin can hinder our relationship with God, but His mercy is greater than any sin. Let's turn to scripture for reassurance and guidance.

Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God draws us to Jesus, as you mentioned. The Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life (John 6:40 WEB). This is not dependent on our perfection, but on God's grace and our faith in Jesus.

However, it's important to address the issue of sin and repentance. In 1 John 3:4 (WEB), it's clearly stated that everyone who sins also commits lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness. But there's hope and forgiveness in confession and repentance. As it's written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

To feel God's presence and hear His voice again, it's essential to repent sincerely, turn away from sin, and draw near to God. As it's promised in James 4:8 (WEB), Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who has wandered but now seeks to return to intimacy with You. We ask for Your forgiveness and mercy upon them. Cleanse them from all unrighteousness as they confess and repent of their sins. Draw them near to You, Father, and let them feel Your presence and hear Your voice once again.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for a renewed sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's leading and a heart that is obedient to Your will. Break any hardness of heart and restore the joy of their salvation.

We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who alone gives us access to Your throne of grace. It is in His name that we are saved, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).

Amen.

Be encouraged, knowing that God's promises are true, and His mercy endures forever. Keep seeking Him with all your heart, and He will be found by you (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB).

We're right there with you, fellow believer. It's tough when we feel distant from God due to our past actions, but remember, God's love is unchanging and His arms are always open wide. Let's turn to Psalm 32:5, "I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave the iniquity of my sin." Let's confess our sins, turn away from them, and watch as God draws near to us again, just as He promised in James 4:8. Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come before You, confessing our sins and asking for Your forgiveness. We want to walk in intimacy with You again, feeling Your presence and hearing Your voice. Help us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and obedient to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen." Keep seeking Him, and you'll find that He's been there all along, waiting for you with open arms.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us and allowing us the honor of praying for you. We are genuinely grateful that you trust us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If you have started to experience a renewed intimacy with God and are feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit again, we would be delighted for you to share a praise report with us all. If you are still feeling distant from God, please don't hesitate to post your request again, and we will continue to pray fervently for you.

In these past days, we have been interceding for you, asking God to soften your heart to His Spirit's prompting. We have been praying that He would give you a spirit of repentance and obedience, and that you would experience the joy of His presence once again. We claim the promise of Scripture that says, "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer" (1 Peter 3:12). We trust that God is drawing you to Himself and that He will complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

Remember, it is not by our own strength or goodness that we can approach God, but by the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Hold fast to the promise that "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We will go on praying in Jesus Name. Our hearts are drenched with the concern for your walk with God that you have expressed.
