Recovering the Relationship with God

Take heart, if you feel you have wandered away from God, He has provided for your return to Him, and He is running toward you now just like the father did in the story of the wandering son. (Luke 15:11-32)

The fact that you realize you are distant from God is a great first step toward restoring your relationship with God. Like any other relationship, it is important to talk to God. Let Him know how sorry you are and express your desire to be back with Him. (James 4:7-8 ) Take steps to appropriately remove whatever was separating you and God. (Luke 5:32 ) Enjoy God’s forgiveness (Acts 2:38, 1 John 1:9 ), then move on and grow in your walk with Him.
Take time each day to spend alone with God. Take the time to pray and study the Bible daily. Establish this time alone with God as a priority in your life. When difficult times come, and they will, you will be glad you made this your choice. God knew that we could not survive on our own, so He provided the power of His Holy Spirit and the love of other disciples to help us weather life's storms with a courageous and peaceful spirit. His Spirit lives in us! Focus on Jesus and you will not be distracted from the path. Focus steadfastly on Christ and not your flaws. Pray that God will open your eyes to see all the ways He to trying to help you.
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” I Peter 5:7.
Imagine the day that you will praise God for His healing hand in your life. His amazing grace will awaken in you a holy desire to share His love and goodness with others. One of the great things about a restored relationship with God is that He can use your story to draw others closer to Him as well.
