Title

A Negative Impact on My Relationship with God

Narrative or description

I think this pandemic has peaked my relationship with God, or perhaps made me realize how bad of a follower I am. I usually have the excuse of school or being busy all the time to not devote time in my day to read the Bible or watch a sermon. However, since I have loads of times, I feel guilty that I don't have an ounce of motivation in my life to devote my new down time to God. I don't have an excuse anymore. And then I receive blessings throughout this pandemic that shows me that I really am being cared for. Like worrying about money, but receiving a stimulus check the very next day that I didn't know I qualified for. Or having a distant/absent relationship with my father, but being able to spend time with him and rebuild our relationship. I am being taken care of but yet I can't muster the time to give thanks. This has been a very frustrating process for myself and my relationship with God.
