Nearer My God to Thee, Moving Away From God, Seeking Him First and Stories by Stacy and Publishing by Stacy

Ever feel far away from God? Like you've moved?

Is it just me or do you not realize it until later and then you wonder how you could have been so foolish to allow it to happen yet again? I always think I would have learned the lesson the last time I made the same mistake. However, it never seems to take hold. Ugh. When will it?

What Draws Us From God?
My biggest problem is busyness. I get busy. Time tends to fly when I'm busy; therefore, I lose track of time and focus. I lose sight of what's important and forget to be intentional about my faith. The funny thing is that the very things that keep me so busy would be even better, and more blessed, if I invested time in my Lord first and foremost.

How is it Feasible to Put God First?
How can it even be done to begin with in our age of busyness? Is it even feasible or realistic?

Seeking God first and above all simply means intentionality of focusing on Him.

Is it doable? Of course it is. We can talk, work, drive, and do anything else and keep our mind on Him at the exact same time. We just need to do it.

When we fail, we need to not beat one's self up about it, but refocus on doing it again.

Draw near to God. Be near to Him. There's too much at stake not to do so.

I'm going to start again. How about you?
