8Many people are seeking and praying to the Father with the want of a personal relationship with Him. Sometimes we feel like we are just not getting through to God. God wants to help you develop an intimate relationship with Him. Some yearn for the wholeness, freedom, and the fulfillment of God's promises to them. Sometimes we just say a five-minute prayer and think that we have spoken to Him and then wonder why our prayers are not answered. When you have been in the presence of God in your secret closet, you should not feel the same way you did before you entered. If you do, then you haven't really poured your heart out to Him. When you really feel His presence and recognize His voice, your life will never be the same.God's purpose for me writing this book is for those who feel that they are not connected to God as they should be. There may be some who feel that they are not approaching the Throne of Grace rightfully. Then there may be some who want to develop a closer relationship with Him.
