I would ask that each of you search your hearts and examine if you have similar feelings? In my daily walk, I might go days just fellowshiping and talking with God all throughout the day, then for some reason, it begins to grow into a few time during the day , then a few and eventually God will draw me back to HIM and get my attention and mind back on HIS tasks that I am committed to accomplish. And occassionally, satan will distract me for a day or two in an effort to distort my routine. But I never get too very far from God and HIS word that I don't realize what satan is trying to do. But more recently, when I was praying and worshiping, God told me to simply, "Imagine or pretend that HE is right there beside me, and imagine that I see HIM when I talk with HIM, or like now when I'm typing on the P.C., or when I'm driving back and forth to work, or when I'm fellowshiping with a beliver or someone who doubts God's validity.....just imagine that God is with us and holding the conversation with HIS there beside me. After receiving this message I can tell you that it greatly imporved my attitude and the feeling that God is always near! And it definately fills in those sometimes lonely days when I am alone and I would like someone to fellowship with! Anyone else? In God's love Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I am closer to Him then I have ever been, I want to be even closer, so my walk will never be close enough. Don't get me wrong, He has blessed me over and over, protecting me for the fiery darts of the devil and shown me more grace and love then I will ever know, but there still is a yearning to be even closer! I'll never be satisfied until I am with Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know God is drawing me into a deeper place. I have to make a greater effort, lets face it the rewards will be great too. SO you ask yourself what is stopping me....distractions that I let happen I think. A day that is too busy, my problem. Thankfully I know God and it is true, What a friend we have in Jesus. I am truly blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love God with ALL my heart and strive to draw closer to Him every day, even when my flesh gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like trials but they have really been coming to me and my family. I find myself spending more time in study, devotion, praise and prayer. So, I guess it is all for good. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
