Description
So last night, my husband and I finally, for the first time since the beginning of March or maybe even the end of February, we ventured out of our house...

The gist of what they were saying was, "I don't feel close to God, I just don't feel close, and I don't know how to get back to that place." So I was thinking of fighting for intimacy in my marriage and how we also have to fight for that intimacy with God. Here's what I told our friend:
Just keep showing up. A lot of people cite Jeremiah 29:11 as their favorite verse. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful verse:
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
Although, we stop too soon when reading this passage because then verses 12 & 13 say:
"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:12-13
Just keep showing up even and especially when you don't feel like it. Even especially when you have no words to pray. Just remember these three words: Keep Showing Up.
