159. One Of The Real Reasons You're Feeling Distant From God--Bridging the Gap: Reconnecting with God Despite Past Hurts
One of the Real Reasons You're Feeling Distant from God—Bridging the Gap: Reconnecting with God Despite Past Hurts
Feeling distant from God? You're not alone, friend. In this episode, we explore how our earthly relationships, especially with our parents, can impact our connection with our Heavenly Father. But don't worry—there's hope!
## Key Points:
- The surprising link between past hurts and our relationship with God
- A simple, one-word prayer to ground you in triggering moments
- Learning to accept God's acceptance (it takes courage!)
## Quotable:
"Faith is the courage to accept acceptance." - Paul Tillich
## Try This:
When you're feeling triggered or distant, take a deep breath and simply say, "Father." Notice how it shifts your perspective. You may notice some resistance or distance from God by even saying "Father"--whatever comes up, don't judge yourself--just notice what comes up. That's the first step in getting to the deeper root of what may be causing some deeper issues in your life.
Remember, you're more loved than you can imagine and less broken than you feel. Keep trudging through your beautiful mess—God's right there with you.
Song: Check out CC Winans' "The Goodness of God" for an extra dose of encouragement!
Scripture mentioned: Psalm 103
Enjoy.
Much love,
Dani
