i dont feel close to god anymore

its been months since i prayed properly due to hectic schedule and i feel terrible and guilty - i need to be more close to god , i love him and fear his presence ...why cant i feel the connection anymore

me and my family used to pray together but now my parents are to busy to pray , how can i pray - my parents make fun of me saying i am showing off that i fear god and need to pray in my mind , i really want to pray but where? i dont even have a bedroom should i pray in the bathroom - good desrves to be called in a good place..

I'm sorry to hear that but maybe try to encourage them when they are free to pray? It's wrong that they're doing that and there is nothing wrong with praying. You could try praying in your attic / make space in a spare room or at a local mosque - don't pray in the bathroom because it can be seen as disrespectful.

I think wow this I relate so much to this question. I also felt so far away form God during university, I rarely prayed opened up my Bible and lived in a way I regretted.It says in the Bible when we choose to disconnect ourselves from God and live a life within the world we beocome enemies to God and sort of block ourselves from God we put up a wall inbetween ourselves and God. It is never God who chooses to be far from us, it is us who does that. It is written that Jesus stands at the door and knocks anyone who opens the door, see you must open the door. you must speak to him, open up your Bible, its hard yes but you have to, I used to make that excuse of not having enough time but you do, you have 10 minutes spare. Pray also and Pray anywhere where you are alone with God. anywhere a bathroom is fine.
also idk what you believe in, whether its christianity or not idk.

i am a christian as well ..
