I recently wrote an article about making a date with God and building your relationship with Him. I, however, didn't delve much into what often prevents us from doing so. Despite your best intentions, sometimes, you find yourself straying. I often do. I don't give God all the time and attention He deserves. The world can be very distracting and, with the wrong mindset, more interesting.

I stated before that Christians are called to view our relationship with our Father as our primary one, and I drew examples from worldly relationships, enforcing the idea of addressing the other's needs and being attentive. I failed to acknowledge how hard that can be for both worldly relationships and, more so, a heavenly one.
