Hi seeking God... I wanted to share something that has been a tremendous blessing to me...and that is withdrawing to quiet places to pray as Jesus did.
I often take the long walks and natural places in communion with God, just quietly listening for his touch on my heart and sharing my burdens with him....there is nothing like this, and it is a gigantic blessing in my life...
The thing I long with is one-on-one fellowship with caring people who share their burdens with one another and pray for one another that they may be healed, as it says in the Book of John.

This could be the reason "church" hasn't been satisfying for you. It's a strong possibility God was wanting this beautiful communion with you first.~ I understand it well, as I do the same thing and am blessed more than any worship service in any man-made structure can offer. My one on one with God is far more valuable to me than a one on one with a person, because... GOD DELIGHTS in "our" time together.~~~ Welcome to CC and God bless you and the friends you will find here. :eek:

Hi Stillness.... Thank you very much for these words.... They speak to me of an inner peace that comes from God in the wisdom that he is clearly given.... This is very helpful to me....I sense the road to be easier when surrounded with like-minded friends to share the journey with, but God has shown me that my tendency would be to rely on them rather than Him..... Just feels a bit lonely sometimes.
