Anita, you say 'we' but not everyone is like that, lot's of us yes, but not everyone. Some people maintain a good relationship with God through all of lifes circumstances.
Those of us that are like that, what is our relationship with other people like? Do we only take the time to ring family or friends when we have a reason. Do we ring them just to chat? Perhaps it is just a reflection of who we are, how busy we are, what our prioritys are?
We can easily get too busy for the important things.
