The question was asked, how do I get back to God? How do I get back to where I am trusting Him, believing Him, and waiting on Him? How to get back to God is usually not the problem. Doing what you know to do is where the problem usually comes in.
Life is filled with distractions. Whether it be the busyness of the world or the stress of our situations, they both are designed to keep us from focusing on what matters most and that is God.
God tells us in Psalm 46 to be still and know that He is God. Being still is the hardest part for us because being still requires no movement or actions from us. It’s hard to be still when you are being pushed and pressed against. It’s hard to be still when your mind is consumed with worry and doubt. It’s hard to be still when the only outcome you can imagine is a negative one.
The first thing that we must do to get back to God is to make up in our mind that we are going to believe and trust Him. We are going to believe and trust what He said when He said that He knows the things that we have need of and He is faithful and just to provide us with those things. Understand, you have to believe God and you have to trust what He has said. If you don’t believe Him and trust Him, you can’t have faith in Him.
So today ... STEP ONE IN GETTING BACK TO GOD, cast down every thought and imagination that goes against the knowledge of who God is and what God will do and make up in your mind that you believe what He has said and be determined to trust Him. Remember to read the Word so that you can remind yourself of who He is and what He has promised to do.
