Do You Feel Disconnected?

Everything was perfect. The band was playing. The lights were dim and filled with people worshiping. My kids were behaving. I was singing the words. It was the perfect setup to worship God.

Except I couldn’t.

It didn’t matter that I was in the perfect environment. Everything I did seemed to fall flat. I couldn’t connect with the words coming out of my own mouth.

I longed to feel something. For the words to hit their mark, not to prove myself, but to hit their mark in my soul. All I could feel was disconnect. A disconnect with God.

And if I was honest, it had been that way for a long time.

Somehow I knew i needed to fix it. I got out my familiar tools. I dusted off my Bible, got out a devotional, added it to my to do list. And staring at those tools I knew it was all wrong.

When my husband and I are not connecting well there is no book, guideline or date on the calendar that is going to fix it. I need to spend time with Him. It’s the same way with God.

The only way I could fix my disconnect with God was by being with Him.

I needed to shift my thinking from a To-Do list spirituality to a posture of connection and spending time with God. Along the way I am learning the things that help me connect with God in the middle of real life. And I want to help you connect with God, too.
