A great message from John MacArthur. It is focused on those over 60 but it’s truth applies to a Christian of any age.

God is good.

When I pray to be closer to God, family persecution happens during family gatherings.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and James 4:4. Most I can do is acquaintances with nonelects.​

I am sorry your earthly family is ungodly.
How do they persecute you during family gathering?

This is in all 4 gospels:

“And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You are not alone! If we are doing what is right, then we are persecuted for His name’s sake.

A heartfelt prayer to get closer to God involves surrendering distractions, asking for a renewed heart,
and desiring His presence above all else. A simple prayer is: "Lord, I desire to draw near to You. Forgive my distractions,
help me trust You more, and quiet my heart to hear Your voice"
'Amen'
