Open for suggestions, prayers, scripture!

Daily I cry out to God, each prayer as desperate as the one before
He is within me, I believe this with all that I am
Yet I feel seperated, alone, and scared
His presence in my life is quite evident
He cares for me like only He can, I still want more
I want to know Him, to love Him like He does me
I need that peace that surpasses understanding
Why do I not rely on Him alone?
I want to relinquish it all, but I still hold on
By now I should be eating The Bread, here I am eleven years later, still on milk
Fellowship is hard for me, for trust is scary
I am in neutral, longing for drive
Why can't I just shift?
He is all I need, I know this, but I don't live it
I have been truly blessed, but still I cry
I rob Him of what he desires from me, and I don't want to
It seems so obvious, so simple
I feel ungrateful
I want to be a shining light for Him, I am but a mere flame
I see His works in my daily life, but I want to feel close to Him, like a daughter to her father
What am I doing wrong? How can I change?
I ask Him all the time, but no answer
I don't understand, I can't do it without Him
Is there something I am missing here?

    Also, the mountaintop experience that Christ gave a couple of the disciples, they wanted to stay up there with Him in His Glory forever! But He had them go back down into the world, to spread the good news. And He didn't even *give* that much--the experience--to all the disciples. Perhaps those of us who've received it are simply the most hard-headed of all. Those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear don't need it so badly, and are indeed truly blessed in the amount of faith we have.

    Fear not, God is with you always. And in you. And sooner or later, you will feel that Peace you seek. Until then, your faith is more than sufficient. :) God Bless you!

      Also wise words, riverlife. Our faith is not based on an emotion or feeling. I just read something about that the other day when preparing for a Bible study on Hebrews 3.

      I'm certainly hard-headed. And there are days when living in His peace is easy, days where it's harder, but He's given me a surety way down deep inside that despite anything I may *feel*, He is the way to live.
