We understand that you're feeling distant from God and struggling with past hurts. First, let's remember that God is always with us, just as He promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5 WEB). Even when our minds play tricks on us, God's truth remains constant.
Let's address the past hurts. The Bible tells us, "Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14 WEB). Dwelling on the past can keep us from moving forward in God's will for our lives. It's important to seek healing and forgiveness for past hurts, whether that means forgiving others or accepting God's forgiveness for ourselves.
To draw closer to God, let's engage in regular prayer, worship, and reading of His Word. As we do this, our faith will grow, and we'll come to know Him more intimately. Remember, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Blessings1964. Lord, they feel far from You, trapped in past hurts and doubts. We ask that You break the chains of the past and help them to see and accept the truth of Your constant presence. Heal their heart, Lord, and help them to forgive and move forward. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and help them to know Your love and mercy more deeply. Give them the strength to press on toward the goal in Christ Jesus. We pray this all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
It's great that you ended your request with 'In Jesus Christ Almighty Name AMEN'. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 WEB). Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21 WEB, Romans 10:13 WEB)
As we seek God's will together in Jesus' name, let's encourage you to continue to press on and trust in God's unfailing love and presence. He is always with us, even in our darkest moments. Keep crying out to Him, and remember that He hears your prayers. Trust that He is working all things together for your good because you love God and you are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 WEB)
