I seem hindered in drawing near to God.

Hey, bud. I remember you from another forum and I hope you are well. I have had long, drawn out spells of disconnect as well. It's a rough place to be. To you and yours.

Taco-head, yeah, I know you, hope you have been well. I’m about to lose my battery, so I’ll go right now. See you later.

I have lived my life, thus far, with a mindset of expecting bad things to happen to me.

I can certainly relate. I always beat myself up and can be rather pessimistic.

You got this, Ronnie! God's amazing & merciful! The journey in seeking the Lord and being Christian is not easy but it's worth it!

 

[AcceptedintheBeloved]

Amen, Coffee, thanks for the encouragement, I feel God working in my life since I made this thread..

Bless you my brother in Christ Jesus.

UPDATE:
Since my OP I can say that I have more fait in God and more faith n his love. I now believe that I have something going on with the Lord, praise Jesus !

Again, thank you for your encouragement,

Some musing:
Asian’s do not like to be called Orientals
Latino’s do not like to be called Hispanic’s
I believe everyone deserves to be called what they like.

to get the most benefits with a relationship to God, one must be a believer. the Bible is a blessing to those who believe & a curse to those who don't believe. & especially, being a born again Christian is the absolute best position to be in when reading the Bible. you're trouble drawing near to God will be greatly diminished. the devil may tempt anyone to draw away from God but the devil has NO POWER over the believer unless the believer lets him, (James 4:7). so become a b.a. Christian if you are not. God created Christianity, nothing else. ask the Lord for strength in your weak areas. here are a few verses for starters: Proverbs 16:3, 2nd Thessalonians 3:3, 2nd Timothy 2:7, 15, 2nd Timothy 3:16,17.

1 Peter 5:8 plus James 4:7

I am so needy and hungry for the Lord yetI find it extremely difficult to draw near to God. Some 2o years I would wake up early and read the Word and it would break my heart so that many times I would weep. I have been through so much to throw me off Bible reading.

Now I haven’t got anything going on with God and I would appreciate your prayers.

I am excited about being on this message board; my name is Ronnie.

Thanks so much.
