Pray This When You Feel Distant From God

This prayer reminds us that God is always near to those who truly desire to find Him again. Building on this, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day provides simple steps to keep your heart stayed on Him. Pray along and rediscover the comfort of walking closely with God again.

In our lives, there are moments when we realize we’ve been distant from God, only turning to Him when we feel the need. When we choose to seek Him more sincerely and with our whole heart, we begin to notice His presence in ways we may have overlooked before. Take a quiet moment to pray along.

Dear God,

I confess that lately I’ve been seeking you half-heartedly, only speaking your name when I need something or being too distracted to even call on you. I am grateful for your willingness to be found, for your invitation to seek you with greater intensity and wholeness of heart.

I desire to experience your presence more fully, so that no matter where I am in my life, I have deep trust that you are right beside me. Help me to seek you with all my heart, knowing your promise that when I do, I will surely find you.

Amen.
