Often we notice our doubts because we realise we can't feel God,
or that God feels distant.

There is a sand ceremony at weddings that symbolises the unity of the couple getting married.
The idea is that each person puts sand into a vase and as it mixes it represents that the couple will be united forever.
A beautiful idea,
but in reality we can little by little remove grains of sand and put them back into our separate containers.

Our faith life can be like this too. We can choose pieces of our everyday to take out of the shared vase and put into our own individual vase - separate from God.

"This part of life is mine
this part of life is yours ..."

God slowly gets moved away from being the centre of our thoughts,
the centre of our hearts
and the centre of our actions.
Slowly we can push God out.

We loose our connection
because we don't choose it!
Is this familiar to you?
What have you stopped doing that used to support and grow your faith?

What have you stopped doing that used to support and grow your faith?
The most important thing for us to do is just talk to God!
God is waiting ...
