Thoughts from a book called: How can I find you God?
The author discusses how many of us lose our connection with God and our spiritual fulfillment because:
Of trouble and disappointments, prayers that didn’t seem to be answered, and so we shook our fists in your face and turned away. Or we lost you through our very good fortunes, wealth, success (who needs You?). We even lost you, through churches that put up too many barriers between us. We lost you in so many ways, too numerious to count. Most of us lost you through sheer indifference. The indifference that comes with giving everything else priority. Living demands priority. We have been too busy for you, God, we’ve gotten out of the habit of you.
Now we want you back. A little ashamed of ourselves, we’re trying to find you again, inviting you back. Life is too empty without you. Life is too futile and meaningless without you. Life has no flavor. We’re anxious without knowing why. We
are lonely. We need something to fill the void and it must be you.
Please come back, God. Hear our voices, direct our groping, cut through this clutter and become a part of us again. Become as real to us as you were when we were children; as simple, powerful, loving, reassuring. Help us to find you, show us the ways to reach you.

This is a book I got from an old thrift shop, however the author reminds me of so many ways to find God. Thru people, nature, books, the arts, prayer, the church, birth, work…..just what I needed. There is an intelligence for good and beauty in the universe and I choose to call it God and it can be found all over….all over. :)
