It isn't something that you are alone in, but that doesn't m,ean that I am going to let you off the hook on it either! Ultimately I think that you are right, it boils down to our desire to know god better and to express our love to Him in a manner that we know will please Him. Prayer is that manner. Read your Bible, and don not read it quickly, per se, but allow the wonderful truths of scripture to draw you into a loving wonderment of who God is, and let that bring you into prayer.

“If I know God, then I will love God. If I love God then it will be the constant desire of my heart to be in his presence and seeking his favour.”

Well I know ‘God’ but i don’t really want to be closer to him or the chruch…you could say i’ve been in a few experiences and witnessed a few so even though i know ‘God’ i don’t really want to be nearer to him.
I feel that knowing ‘God’ and wanting to be in his presence and seeking his favour is more of a personal desire.
What do you think?
email me sometime.
