prayer to help us to stay

close to God

When we are walking close to God it is a wonderful experience; we feel peaceful, content with what we have, satisfied and fulfilled. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is evident: love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 6:22)

One of the reasons that we may not be close to God is that we are in a 'bad place' as a result of a barrier that we have set up or allowed to be set up, between us and God. Many of us will have experienced what it's like when we are not close to God - it's a bit like a spiritual dry place... a desert. If this is down to a barrier that we have set up  then the Bible tells us we can do something about this and specific prayer is required to help us to stay close to God... click here.
