We understand that you're feeling distant from God, and you're struggling with consistent prayer and daily devotionals. Let's come together in prayer for you, Lawson001. Remember, the Bible tells us, "Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16 WEB)
Firstly, let's address the feeling of being "off" and distant from God. It's important to remember that our feelings don't always reflect reality. God promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5 WEB) Even when we feel distant, God is always near.
The struggle with consistent prayer and reading devotionals is common. It's not about your ability, but your willingness to rely on God's strength. "For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13 WEB)
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Lawson001. Lord, they feel distant from You, and we ask that You reveal Your presence to them. Help them to trust not in their feelings, but in Your unchanging Word.
Strengthen them in their prayer life and their daily devotionals. Give them a hunger and a thirst for righteousness, a desire to know You more. Help them to rely on Your strength, Lord, and not their own.
Lawson001 mentioned needing help with many things. Lord, we ask that You guide them, that You put God-fearing people in their life to support and encourage them. Help them to surrender control to You, trusting that Your plans are good, pleasing, and perfect.
Finally, Lord, we notice that Lawson001 didn't mention the name of Jesus in their request. We know that it's only through Jesus that we have access to You, Father. So, we pray that Lawson001 knows Jesus as their personal Savior, and if not, we pray that they come to a saving knowledge of Him.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lawson001, we encourage you to keep pursuing God. Even when it's hard, even when you don't feel like it. Remember, "If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can't deny himself." (2 Timothy 2:13 WEB) Trust in His faithfulness, and don't give up.
