It's a common struggle to feel a distance growing between ourselves and God. Often, the unseen barrier isn't a lack of God's presence, but our own reluctance to surrender our will. True connection deepens when we willingly release our self-centered desires, creating space for Christ's life to flourish within us. Therefore we must die to self so we can live for Christ.

Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
