Developing Intimacy with God

The desire for our children to have their own walk with the Lord is the desire of many Christian parents. Public worship too is good but to draw close to the Lord is more than that.

It is easy enough to trust God when His presence and blessing are evident, but what is a Christian to do if God Himself feels distant? What if depression and discouragement and sheer loneliness seem to stand on every side? As incredible as it may seem, you are not alone.

Jim Logan's relationship with his father was a bitter one. He felt that nothing would ever take away the feelings of resentment toward him and the fear of further rejection from others. A miracle that saved him from committing suicide. Attending church. Moving away from home. The army.

Both our strengths and weaknesses can pose a threat to an intimate daily connection with Christ. We will always need God's grace. Whether counselor or counselee we are powerless without the Lord. Everlasting strength is available to each of us at His throne! That is all we need.
