There are times when I feel separated from God, and the last couple of weeks have been that way. I have no idea why. I attempt to never let Him stray far from my thoughts; yet, something hasn’t seemed right lately. This isn’t the first time it’s happened.

Usually, I feel a close connection to God, and always at those times there is a wonderful peace in my life. I’ve tried to reconstruct my thoughts—have I allowed ego to enter, have I allowed anger to creep in—but nothing seems much different than usual. Sometimes I think my impatience with people is the problem that shoves a barrier between us. After all, God is infinitely patient—at least He has been with me. In church this morning, I asked for understanding and the sermon touched on material aspects of our lives. Perhaps that was God speaking to me. Perhaps I’ve allowed the outside world to crowd my thoughts too much.

Tonight, I’ll meditate on the problem and see what God tells me. I’ll let you know.

Love,

Dick
