Have you ever felt "away" from God? You knew he was there but you just couldn't "connect". I have been feeling that way lately. I think it started almost two school-years ago when I started taking my son to his bus stop. My morning drive to work had been my prayer time/Christian talk-radio time. Don't get me wrong, I treasure my ride with Zac bec. we had uninterrupted time to talk or just to sit by each other and not talk. But, by not starting my day talking to God, I just sort of drifted away. What really got me scared was a couple of months ago, I realized I hadn't prayed in months. Not even little, short prayers/talks. It was late at night when I woke up and realized this. So, I tried to pray and realized that I couldn't pray. I tried to focus but my mind kept wondering. I could just feel that no matter how hard I tried, my prayers were just bouncing off of the ceiling. I got really worried.
This summer I have made a plan to take the time each day to read the Bible. I still get busy and forget some days. But, I must say that by just spending some time focusing on the Bible, I have felt something that i haven't felt in a while. I know that i still have a lot of work to do in order to get back to the same closeness that I once had. It is so easy to let life get in the way of our walk with God. I am going to try a harder in the future to make God a priority.
