Sometimes it can feel like God is not near to us when we pray. We all know what that feels like. But the two most important aspects of prayer, I believe, are honesty and consistency. We should always be honest with God and no matter how we feel in the moment we should approach God with consistency. Even if we do not feel God, we can be sure that He is there and He still loves us.
