Every single one of us was put on this earth with a purpose and with God built into our DNA. Without a relationship with God you will never fully understand your purpose in this life. This may sound condescending to some here, but this Sunday when Prayer Request go out at our church, I'm going to pray specifically for the people on this forum. I'm going to pray specifically that God will come into the lives of the people on this forum. For those of you who have at one time been close to God, I pray that you stop where you are and seek Him again. Happy Thursday to you guys!

So, god is akin to that friend that you hung out with for awhile, believed in, but over time drifted away from? And when you really, truly needed that friend’s guidance or advice, they put their hand up and said “not now, I don’t have time for you?” I thought god’s love was unconditional?
I’m really trying to understand how I invested so much time seeking out god by not only attending my own church, but visiting other churches and talking to people who were ‘born again’ to find out what that meant. And yet, I’ve still never felt his presence. Am I really a bad person that god doesn’t want me to know him? Or is my heart so blackened that I cannot accept god when he is standing right in front of me?
