Attached to God

 Intro:

It felt like getting close to God was based on my behavior: confession, 

What would it take to know God was near? Instead it felt like an on again off again relationship. 

A journey for closeness to God.

We are all starving for connection. We all have ways for reaching for that connection. Examine the way we reach out for closeness. Ways we have been taught to reach for closeness with God. 

How do you sustain a relationship with a God?

Head vs Heart

We know what we think in our relationship with God but how we feel about God is important (that constant feeling of disappointment or the thought that my behavior could make him slip away).

The Still Face of God.

Sometimes I feel His breath next to me and utterly abandoned in other times. We find ourselves wandering. Rick Warren said you are as close to God as you want to be. If we are not close it is our wandering. Its not a problem with Gods closeness, Get up early for devotions, small group. 

Distance happens in all relationships.
