"Pray as if it all depends on God,
do as if it all depends on you"
If we all lived by this, how different would the world be?! It would be quite different. How much time do we spend in a relationship talking to the other person or the other people? If you don't talk much, the relationship won't be very strong - if you talk with them all the time it will be a very strong relationship - am I correct?!
It's the same with God, to have a strong relationship with Him, we need to continually be talking with him in prayer! I have on my keyring a reminder "Pray without cease" and I am also reminded "seek and you shall find". Many people I know in the church and also the world for that matter, say they can't seem to find God in one way or another. I think our relationship with God is in proportion directly to how much time we spend with Him generally. There are a few exceptions - a very clear example is Jesus on the cross when God appears to abandon Him - but this can be discussed in too much detail for a blog. In short though, sin is the divider - if you are feeling distant from God - confess your sins to Him! It might help.
A while ago too, a few of us were wanting to really passionatly see God perform miracles through us etc, but then we learnt a bit later that we just have to focus on God and get everything right there, and God will use us for His glory then, whether it's through miracles or just to challenge someones heart or even just help them in some worldly way.
Anyway, how's your soul today? Get yourself right before God today, you never know when He'll return.
God bless.

A right relationship involves listening, as well.
i agree with you and the bible: i think sins bad!
and also, i might b taking that quote too far, but we cant always just act as though it depends on us, lets handpass it to God! Lets expect God to do stuff! of course i dont mean dont do stuff, but sometimes we need to stop, and expect God...
good chattin to ya atoday
