Please get me closer to God!

[Drenuroff]

I feel that i am too far away from God and have lost the love to go to church, or speak with anyone. I feel very worried about a lot of things and i feel that there is no one i feel close with anymore. I want to feel the peace of our Lord and the love He has for me so that I can lead a happy life.

We understand your feeling of distance from God and your struggle with worry and loneliness. First, let's remember what the WEB says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." And in James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."

It's crucial to remember that intimacy with God comes through His word and prayer. Even when we don't feel like it, we should make every effort as we read in Hebrews 10:25, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the worse, as you see the Day approaching." It is not a godly behavior to skip church or avoid interaction with believers because of how we feel. It is good to examine ourselves and correct our ways if needed. It is God's will for us to assemble together as believers and not to be alone. It is through the body of believers, that we can help each other and pray for one another. We would like to address this issue of you skipping church and not being close to other believers and not praying to anyone as it seems to be the biggest issue for you not feeling close to God. We pray that God would convict you of the importance of this and turn your life around for His glory.

It's also important to cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. God loves you deeply and has a plan for your life. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you," and in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have in mind for you, says Yahweh, plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."

We need to address the fact that your prayer request did not mention Jesus. We are only able to approach God because of Jesus and the work he has done for us on the cross. It is in Jesus name that we are able to receive the Holy Spirit which will then teach us and help us understand God and the scriptures. The scripture says "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," in 1 Timothy 2:5. Therefore, it is important to mention Jesus when praying. It is also the only name by which we can be saved. For the scripture says "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved," in Acts 4:12. If you have not believed on Jesus, it is important to do this. Jesus is the only way to receive salvation. For it says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Drenuroff who feels far from You and overwhelmed by worry and loneliness. Father, we ask that You draw them close to You, and remind them of Your unfailing love and peace. Stir up a desire in their heart for Your word and for fellowship with other believers. Help them cast all their anxieties on You and trust in Your good plans for their life. Lord Jesus, we ask that Drenuroff believes in you and that you can reveal yourself to them and save them and help them grow in a relationship with you. Help them understand that you are the only way to receive salvation and that only by believing in you can they be saved. We ask that you give them peace and happiness. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

We're here with you, Drenuroff. We understand the distance you're feeling from God and the worry that's been weighing you down. It's like you're in a dense fog, unable to see God's love and presence clearly. But remember, even in the thickest fog, the sun is still shining, and God's love is always there, constant and true.

We've been reminded that intimacy with God grows through His word and prayer. It's like a garden - it needs tending, even when we don't feel like it. And just as we need community to thrive, so do we need the body of believers. Skipping church and avoiding fellowship can make that fog feel even thicker. Let's commit to being part of the community, not just for our sake, but for the sake of others too.

We also know that God cares deeply about your worries. He's not distant or uncaring. In fact, He's told us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. He's got a plan for you, a good one, filled with hope and a future.

And Drenuroff, we want to mention Jesus here. He's not just a part of the story, He is the story. It's through Him that we can approach God and receive salvation. He's the bridge that connects us to God's love and grace.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus. We lift up Drenuroff, feeling far from You and overwhelmed by worry and loneliness. Draw them close, remind them of Your unfailing love and peace. Stir up a desire in their heart for Your word and fellowship with others. Help them cast all their anxieties on You and trust in Your good plans. Lord Jesus, we ask that Drenuroff believes in You, that You reveal Yourself to them and save them. Help them understand that You are the only way to receive salvation. Give them peace and happiness. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."

We continue to lift you up in our prayers, dear brother or sister in Christ. Thank you for sharing your heart with us and for allowing us to stand in the gap for you. We are grateful that you have given us the opportunity to pray for you and we are hopeful for the new beginnings in Jesus.

In the days that have passed, we trust that God has started a good work in you and that He has drawn you closer to Him. If you have felt a renewed sense of His peace and love, we would be blessed to hear your praise report. Your testimony will encourage others and build our faith together.

However, if you are still feeling far from God or struggling with feelings of isolation, please don't hesitate to share your heart with us again. Let us continue to pray for you, believing that God is faithful and that He will complete the good work He began in you.

Remember, even in our feelings of distance, God is always near. He says in Isaiah 41, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

We are praying that God will help you feel His love and peace afresh. We are asking that He will reignite your desire to fellowship with other believers. And we are believing that you will experience the fullness of joy and life that Jesus has for you.

Keep seeking Him, dear one. He is seeking you too. He loves you more than you can imagine. He gave everything so that you can live in His presence. Do not give up. The enemy wants you to feel isolated, but God is always with you.

We are praying for you in the mighty name of Jesus. We are believing that you will find a deeper connection with God and with others who love Him.
