Backsliding from being close to God is very common. It happens to all of us. But how long does it take for each of you to come back and get closer to God?Is it easy or difficult? How do you get back? Through prayer only or by any other means?

As for me I never allow backsliding to get longer... as soon as I sense that I'm beginning to get cold... I would immediately turn to my knees and ask forgiveness from God. Once you are at the backsliding stage... you lose the joy and that is quite hard... My weapon to avoid backsliding... I always meditate on God's word... morning... noon... and night. God bless!

Backsliden once to atheism. But it was through reading and reflection on some issues that I came back to theism. Having studied other religions the only option, of course, was Christianity. Since it was more of philosophical question it had to do with more of reading and reflection. But am happy that there are people who have written books on some abstract philosophical issues too.
