I have often found myself to feel closeness when praying to the Father and build relationship with Him. Whenever I speak to God I feel like I am speaking to the Father but I struggle with building a relationship with Jesus. I know this is bad because it is as if I am just using Jesus's name to sign off prayers and as an example to model. Anytime I try to have a relationship with Jesus I feel distant in my heart. Has anyone experienced this and how did you get free from this?
Ps forgot my pw so I'll mostlikely be signing all my posts off with my name. My acc is gooone 😂

Good to see you again. I have experienced both a feeling of distance from the Father but a closeness to Jesus and the opposite as well. I had to pray really hard to stop trying to do things in my own power. I felt like unless I was suffering (fasting or pushback from preaching Jesus) that God wasn't happy because I believed I wasn't doing His will. I had to pray for Him to do whatever needed to be done so that I wouldn't think evil in my heart toward Him anymore. I prayed that He would help me to love Him just like Jesus does. Sometimes I would just pray and squeeze my right hand and believe with all my heart that He's right there, that I'm holding His hand, & that everything's going to be OK. I would pour out everything that was in my heart to Him, then ask for Him to give me the heart to respond with an obedient, loving, & faith-like-a-child trusting heart to what He wanted to tell me. Only then have I found freedom to see Them the way They want me to see Them instead of the broken version that I had or have tried to make them out to be.

Thanks for sharing that that blessed me alot!
