Scriptures:

 James 4:8 (NIV):
“Come near to God, and He will come near to you.”

• This verse reassures us that when we try to draw closer to God, He is always ready to meet us where we are.

 Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV):
“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.”

• This scripture emphasizes the importance of seeking God earnestly and wholeheartedly, promising that we will find Him when we do.

Psalm 145:18 (NIV):
“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”

• This verse reminds us that God is always close to those who sincerely reach out to Him, offering comfort and assurance in our journey back to faith.

There was a time in my life after my grandmother passed away that I turned away from God. Not intentionally; there was no big speech or breakdown on my part; I just stopped going to church. Every Sunday, I would drop my older children off with my aunt and drive home with my baby girl. The loss was so significant, and my grief so deep I let it swallow me up. Eventually, I did go back to church. My children did not like being in there without me, but since I had been away so long, I was a little worried about how God would welcome me back, or if he even would; of course he did, so I am hoping that today’s post will encourage you to reconnect with God.

 Life pulls us in different directions, and sometimes, without realizing it, we drift away from God. If you’re distant from your faith and longing to reconnect, know you’re not alone. Many Christian women experience periods where they feel disconnected from God, but the good news is that it’s never too late to return.

Why It Happens

Being separated from God often occurs gradually, and there can be many reasons for it:

1. Life’s Demands: The pressures of daily life, whether it’s work, family, or personal struggles, can consume our time and energy, leaving little room for spiritual growth.
2. Pain and Disappointment: Difficult experiences, such as loss, heartbreak, or unanswered prayers, can lead to disillusionment and distance from God.
3. Spiritual Apathy: Over time, we might become complacent in our faith, skipping prayer, Bible study, and church, which weakens our connection to God.

3 Tips to Reconnect with God

If you’re ready to renew your relationship with God, here are three practical steps to help you along the way:

1. Start with Prayer: Prayer is the most powerful way to reconnect with God. Start with a simple, honest conversation. Acknowledge your feelings and ask God to help you draw near to Him. Remember, He’s always ready to listen.
2. Dive into Scripture: The Bible is God’s word to us and a source of comfort, guidance, and encouragement. Begin reading passages that speak to where you are right now. Psalms, Proverbs, and the Gospels are great places to start.
3. Join a Faith Community: Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and encourage you on your spiritual journey. Whether it’s a local church, a small group, or an online Christian community, being with others can help reignite your faith.

Reconnecting with God after being apart for a long time may seem daunting, but remember, God is always waiting with open arms. Take the first step today, and trust that He will guide you back into a deep, fulfilling relationship with Him.
