There is a discipline of working on our relationship with our Abba that is conscious and intentional. God is the most taken-for-granted Person in the universe. Practice gratitude for Lent and every other day of your life. Show God that you care about the relationship you have with Him. Spend time with Him in communication, listening and being present for Him and with Him. Make time. Give Him the first of your day. Be intentional about your walk with Him.
And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves. Mark 6:31-32 (NASB)
