It’s when Jesus seems far away that we need to pray the most. Because although Jesus never leaves us, sometimes we leave Him
We convince ourselves we are too busy to talk with Jesus, or if we are being honest, perhaps too lazy. But if we want to have a real friendship with Jesus, we need to do what we would do with any other friend, we need to spend time with Him; we need to share with Him, and we need to be honest and open with Jesus. Because that is the only way we are going to become “real friends”.
So share the happiness and worries of your day. Pray for those in need and those you love. Ask Jesus what His Will is for you, because Jesus loves you and knows best what will bring you the most happiness. Ask Jesus every day to forgive your sins, grant you faith and be your Savior and Friend.
For if we do so every day, our trust in Jesus will grow and our faith will flourish.
And before we know it, Jesus who once seemed so very far away, will be our closest, most trusted, best friend, and Savior 🙂
May Jesus Bless Us All,
Following Jesus
