Experiencing God

I have been feeling lately that I have failed in some way, or that I’m growing more distant in my relationship with the Lord.

Today as I was reading Experiencing God, I began to be aware that even the feeling of distance or failure could be God’s way of bringing me closer to Him. The feeling that I may have failed Him in some way could lead me to become more sensitive to learning how to continue to grow in my relationship with my Lord and savior. I feel that I’m doing the right things, but there are definitely areas to improve or raise the bar: prayer, tithing, obeying, etc. I want God to lead my life. I recognize that my life is not my own, but only what God gives to me.
