Questioning God
ok, I used to be a very spiritual person. I loved God with all my heart. But...most of the time I feel as if He isn't there. I dont really feel it. My family never goes to church and I never seem to have time to read the Bible. I sometimes question whether God is real. Is He there? Does He hear me? It seems like none of my prayers ever get answered. What can I do to become closer to God like I used to be? Is it normal to question these things?

Dear Doubtful and Distressed,
First I used to NOT be a very spiritual person with my head in the clouds i was just doing what everyone else was like cussing. but then one day i just pulled my head out of the clouds and i used to think that i didnt have anytime for God but we do! we just choose not to make time for him just get a devotional and do it before you go to sleep even if you are tired. that's what i do I sometimes question if God is real also but who would make all this stuff up! yesterday at church our old preacher preached a sermon because our regular one wasn't there and he said for 20 years he wasn't able to sleep well he would always have a nightmare like the same thing every night but just in different ways like that he would miss the bus or be late to preach or when he got on stage he forgot shoes or something and when he was getting ready to preach the night before he just prayed God PLEASE take away those dreams let your blood that you shed for me scare those dreams away and God please let me have a good night's sleep and he slept like a baby he didn't have those dreams I know God is there you just have to make time. God put us here and the whole purpose for our life is suppose to be to serve him so you have the time but we just dont do it. As in movies they say "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing" it is the same way with God you just have to trust that he is there. yes it is normal to question those things I do it! everybody who believes in God does it God might not answer your prayers because he doesnt think that it is the time for them to happen or it might not be his plan for your life. You just have to keep praying it if you pray it once he might not answer it but if you do it like every night until it happens or something i'm not sure. But just don't give up on him yet he is always there for us.. always. I hope i helped some!
<3 Le
