Have you ever felt disconnected from God? How do you cope?

bluegem @bluegem (174) • Dominican Republic 5 Mar 07

There are times when I feel so out of touch with God. It's a feeling of emptiness, fear, lethargy. At this time I cant even get the strength to pray or read the Bible. I realize the situation but find that I cant help myself. Have...

brideofchristnj Hello - I can completely relate with how you feel. There are certainly times when I feel disconnected with God...but one thing we all have to remember that it is, indeed, WE that are feeling distant from God and not He from us. There are times when scripture...

brideofchristnj Among my precious belongings, my great grandmothers Bible is certainly one of them. It is a lovely leather bound KJV Bible that even has family prayer cards in it from family members that have passed on, as well as her own hand written notes in the Bible :) I...

brideofchristnj If you are a new Christian, which we all were at some point, starting at the New Testament is the way to go. I say this only in the sense that if you are a new Christian, you want to learn as much about Jesus, His life, His love, etc, as possible and the NT...

If you can only recommend two books in the bible. . .

desertdarlene @desertdarlene (8910) • United States 11 Feb 07

Which ones would you suggest people read? I would suggest Luke and Acts. I like Luke because I think he's the most accurate writer in the new testament and his two books tell the complete story of Jesus and the Apostles.

brideofchristnj I would recommend John because I think it is a great Gospel, and then also Psalms because it is such a great source of comfort, strength, and sign of Gods love for us throughout all of our lifes circumstances.

andiesmama @andiesmama (51) • United States 11 Feb 07
