I'm not new faith in Jesus, but I am at a point where I feel God calling me to step out in deeper reliance on Him. I am restless. My own personal time in the Word has produced fruit in my own life, but my peace has changed. I new have this restless unease about where I am in my career, and my spiritual walk with Him.

This week John Ch. 15 has been brought to my attention many times, particularly the parable of the vine and the branches. The word abide resonated with me so much because i realized I'm not sure I even understand how to abide in Him or IF I am. Some weeks I pray faithfully, some not so well. I am a student, so reading, memorizing and studying the Word comes much easier to me, but is that enough to truly be abiding in Him? I still question His will for me and honestly I don't feel like I'm where He wants me. I Love the Lord, but still feel at times disconnected. I think the Holy Spirit is teaching me now about relationship with Him. I guess my question would be, how do you, as a Christian, abide in Christ? How do followers "remain" in Him? Because I think it must be more than reading, memory verses and morning prayers.
