Taken for granted...

My prayer:

I feel like I have run out of things to talk about lately God. Things are reasonably good. Each day with some joy and some challenges. But, really, nothing that rises to the level of bothering you about. Maybe this is just one of those stable periods and if it is, I should just be grateful for it. 

But, I worry that, if I am running out of things to say to you, does that mean that we are not as close as we should be or as we used to be? Am I less connected with you than I was? 

That, more than anything, is my greatest fear. A separation from you, no matter how small or how partial, is my greatest fear. 

What God Said Tonight:

You know the answer before I even start to speak. To be closer to me, seek me out. If you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me. Seek me, search me, study my word. 

There is no magic. It is like any relationship. Spend time with me. Talk with me. Love me. You will find the intimacy you think you have lost. 

The truth is, you have not lost anything. The intimacy we have always had is right here. But, those things that are always present are the first things that you tend to take for granted. Maybe you have taken our intimacy for granted. That has left you in this place. 

So, stop. Now that you see it, stop taking it for granted and remember how precious our relationship is. I cherish it. I know you do too. I love you.
