please pray, i have been a Christian all my life i grew up in a Christian home and have been involved in various ministries throughout. Recently i finished my nursing degree and things have been so busy. i had to get a part time job to get me by til i started my fulltime and this job required i work Sundays. I have now finished that job and can start getting back into church but the truth is i don't even know if i want to be there anymore, God feels like a distant stranger and i feel like i have changed even hardened. I don't like who i have become, and feel so lost right now.thanks for your support

Sometimes, so that we will fall in love with Him even more, God puts a distance between us and Him. Nothing anyone can say will make this time any easier for you, but you can know that saints from all times have experienced this, and have grown in Christ because of it. I would only say that our Father wants you, your heart, and not what you can do. Lay yourself again upon His altar, as a living sacrifice for Him. His love is so much more than we have before now or even ever can experience in this life, but always we are able to grow in His love, and I feel that He wants you to know His love in a much deeper way. Already your heart cries out to Him.

My prayers in His grace and love,

WOW VW,

BRAVO! This is an awesome response to our Sister's cry for her GOD.....................By far one of the best responses I have heard or read on this site.

And Precious Belle,

Know that we and many others are seriously praying for you as you draw nearer to your GOD, and HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON...........JESUS.

I am praying also, that your new position as a nurse really goes very well for you.......This is a very trying occupation that is equally rewarding.........

BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS UPON YOU...........

thank you, i actually never thought about it that way. i guess i have put so much effort into what i can do as opposed to just sitting and being still and waiting on God, that was an awesome response

Dear Sister,

It is amazing you mentioned being still..............The LORD brought that Scripture to my mind when I was writing to you, but, I apologize, quite honestly, I have never written to you or responded to a post you have done, and I wasn't sure how you would receive it or not.................So I didn't........

Isn't it amazing how our Loving FATHER KNOWS ALL THINGS....................Next time I sense to write something, I will.

Be encouraged, Sister.............HE

Dear Sis,

Wow, the enemy really hates me.................that last message got cut off.............Wow, that is the second time I was making a response to someone and the message got chopped..........

What I was going to say was, HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU IN ALL THINGS........................JUST CAST ALL OF YOUR CARES ON HIM............

See yourself doing this, your job, your house, your bills, your LIFE, surrender all of it to HIM, and what you get in return is PEACE, JOY, LOVE............
And a host of other blessings such as leading and guiding by HIS HOLY SPIRIT.........To make all of the right choices and desicions.......

REST NOW, HEBREWS CHAPTER 4 IS WHAT IS CALLED A SABBATH REST...............SORT OF LIKE A DOUBLE REST.................A DOUBLE PORTION

I am praying for you............

i also experienced that..and it all boils down into realizing that, all i want in this life is Him and not anything else...It is great to realize that our relationship in Christ is not based on our emotions for emotions often fails...we received Him by faith and so we live by faith..God bless u...

As the Spirit comes to us, He gifts us with many things, the greatest of these is love from and of and for God. This is not available to the unbeliever. The Spirit is from God, and God is love. To love God in the Spirit, with the love that is placed there in our hearts, willingly, is the highest calling. In this world, that is so easily forgotten.

With His love, in prayer,
