I recently saw this sign outside a church
"Don't feel close to God anymore? Guess who moved?"
I thought this is so true, His word says Hebrews13:5 "He will never leave us or forsake us." So God is always here. We are the ones who distant ourselves. Often it is something we are putting first before Him when we get that insecure and lost feeling. It Could be friends, a hobby, a sin we are struggling with,.etc... (I know this through personal experience) These things really hinder our relationship with Christ.
If this is your case, just pray and if it has been a while, its ok, God is always happy for us to come to Him and is ready to listen. He is merciful and always forgives us. "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" 1John 1 :9
Go after God like Lofty said.
Seek Him with
all your heart, mind and soul. We cannot know God or feel close to Him if we do not know anything about Him, what He wants from us or how we should live. We must arm ourselves with the truth straight from His Word. Read the bible, believe and trust what it says. And pray, prayer keeps the communication lines open between us and God.
James4:8 "Come near to God and He will come near to you"
Christian19, Fear is one of satan's tactics to keep us from God and doing His will. Arm yourself with the Word to fight this spiritual warfare there are lots of scripture on fear. Claim the victory through Jesus Christ.
Joshua 1:19 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go"
God Bless You
