[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During the pandemic, with no church and so many daily challenges, my relationship with God lapsed. I’ve been trying to reignite it, but it’s just not happening. I’ve been praying on and off for a year but I feel no answers. I’m discouraged and starting to feel hopeless. I can’t find a church that feels right. I’m struggling to get back on track by myself and it’s not working.

How have you dealt with spiritual lapses? Do you have any advice for re-connecting with God? [/quote]
OP, I'm sorry this happened to you. It also happened to me. We used to attend services every week before the pandemic. Even though services resumed in person pretty quickly (especially compared to other places), I found that the masking and distancing regulations (which were necessary for health and safety) made the communal aspect of the service much less enjoyable (i.e. coming together, but staying apart from each other is not really spiritually uplifting, but instead just highlighted for me everything that was different, even in the same space praying the same words). My spiritual needs also changed during Covid, partly because Covid itself changed me and partly because my kids have grown up.

Partly, I hoped that going back regularly would get me back in the swing of things, but it hasn't. I don't really have any answers for you, but know that you're not alone![/quote]

I suspect that this situation is not unusual - and not just with church.  A lot has changed since COVID, including people's feeling about getting out in the world.[/quote]
