God is closer to us than anything in this life but we have taken a road or route that makes us very far away from God. A lot of us run from God especially when things are going well and fine so we feel we do not have to pray. It’s necessary to remember that every good and bad thing needs prayer.
Let us read the book of Malachi 3:7 which says, Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
If we call God now, he will surely get back to us. God is the one, our father who never leaves us alone especially in tough times but returning to him is what a lot of people find difficult to do because they are carried away by the vices of life and they are used to the negative impacts in this world which has made them very far away from God.
In our daily life, we should make sure that we go back to the ordinances of God, we will remember him by putting him at heart everyday and by doing that, we will always want to act according to his wills because we think about him often and we also want to please him by doing the right things at the right time.
God is always willing and ready to accept us back into his abode as his children.
