I understand that sometimes we can feel distance from God but being close to God has nothing to do with reading the Bible or confessing your sins it has to do with the close intimacy you have with him treat God like he his your best friend , your father mother the close person you can literally tell anything at all make it a constant to speake to him all the time every day then he will draw close to yoh remember go to him authentic

Eu por muito tempo fui desse jeito. E algumas coisas que aprendi ao longo dessa caminhada: Não se compare aos outros. A cada um Deus chama de uma forma. Muitos se não passarem por uma situação sobrenatural não terão forças para abandonar o que fazem. Você se força a ler a palavra de Deus, então comece a orar a Deus também com frequência e quando orar peça para que Deus produza dentro de você o fruto do arrependimento. Mas não existe fórmula mágica para sentir a presença de Deus. Apenas buscar a ele com sinceridade. Diga a ele o que você tem sentido, suas dúvidas, como se sente frustrado com essa situação. Peça para que Deus tire as correntes da dúvida do seu coração e ele vai tirar. Apenas seja sincero. Não podemos esperar sentir sua presença se não o buscarmos em verdade e em espírito. Ainda que o seu coração duvide, busque a ele todos os dias. E peça discernimento para que a dúvida não continue te paralisando de viver o sobrenatural de Deus.

I have been like this for a long time. And some things I learned along this journey: Do not compare yourself to others. God calls each one in a different way. Many, if they do not go through a supernatural situation, will not have the strength to abandon what they do. You force yourself to read the word of God, so start praying to God frequently as well, and when you pray, ask God to produce within you the fruit of repentance. But there is no magic formula to feel the presence of God. Just seek Him sincerely. Tell Him what you have been feeling, your doubts, how frustrated you feel with this situation. Ask God to remove the chains of doubt from your heart, and He will. Just be sincere. We cannot expect to feel His presence if we do not seek Him in truth and in spirit. Even if your heart doubts, seek Him every day. And ask for discernment so that doubt does not continue to paralyze you from living the supernatural of God.

I invite you to always search up Bible verses that talk about the feelings, situations, thoughts or plans you may have. God has everything answered in his word for us, he speaks his love and perfect will to us 🫂🔥♥️

I can connect with you, my brother. What I've experienced myself is that it's a fight we have against our flesh. Our flesh opposes the spirit. ➡️ We naturally don't want to pray, read the word, etc. It's in our human nature. We drift away from God if we don't connect with him often 🤕 ➡️ We need to continue seeking God even if we don't feel like it, it's always worth it. Even if you feel like nothing has changed afterwards, believe me, God is always there and he rejoices in sharing time with you 🙌🔥 ➡️ God hasn't left your life, it's not that your aren't "Christian enough" nor that "God got angry at you and left". Nope! 💟 Don't stop seeking God, reading his word. Try to write down prayers if it's hard at times. Praying is simply talking with God. You don't have to put a happy, perfect mask to talk with God. You don't have to filter your thoughts when speaking to God. Nothing will surprise him, God is our loving father and he is patient with everyone of us, he never grows tired nor stops caring about us. Be YOURSELF with God and speak your heart, feelings, thoughts, worries, everything to him 🫂❤‍🩹 💟 Don't give up on God. Rest in the fact that, even if we fail, he will never give up on us. Even if we ignore him. He leaves the 99 to find the 100th. He waits you always with open arms, to give you the greatest hug you could imagine (Even if you don't feel it). He gave EVERYTHING in the cross for you and me, don't doubt it... It's a reality as real as you and me 🤜🤛 💟 Remember: Jesus Christ loves you in a single second infinitely more than what any person could in a lifetime 🫀 🔥 You'll see that, the more you seek him, the more you'll get to know him AND know his everlasting love, compassion, mercy, calm... 🔥 It's not so much about feeling him, but growing your relationship with him. It's a relationship. God seeks a deep, intimate, loving relationship with you. You can be YOURSELF with God, he knows you better than anyone and created you with love and a purpose 🥹📖 🔥 Have this hope in God's word, he never lies and he will fullfill his promises in us, his children (Hebrews 6). Always meditate in his word, you'll see there's an answer for everything in the Bible — "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you (James 4:8)"

I feel the same way sometimes.
