I do believe but feel like I've lost touch with God.

If you do believe but have gotten sidetracked, don't think you're the only one. I know just how hard it can be out there. At times it seems like nobody is living for God anymore. The good news is that you are here and God is ready to bring you (back) into his family.
Ever hear the story Jesus told of the Prodigal son? (LUKE 15:11-32) Many of us have and learned from it the character of God. In a nutshell, there was a rich man who had two sons one of them decided he wanted to receive his inheritance right away. When he did he ran off to the Las Vegas of his time and was living large. Fancy meals, lavish lodging, extravagant relationships, his own personal entourage until the money ran out. Then he was left in the gutter all alone facedown in the waste. In that sobering moment he reflected on his life and remembered that he never went without when he lived with his father. So he decided to return home with his head held low in hopes to live the rest of his life as a nameless servant working his master's fields. When the son neared the estate his father noticed him from far away. The father could no longer hold back his joy and dashed across the fields. Picture the aged nobleman running frantically toward the downcast son. Finally when the father reached his son he embraced him and welcomed him back into the family. He even directed one of his servants to restore his position and prepare a welcoming party. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's best wishes for us. The important thing to remember is that when we decide to come back to him he will run to us and restore us into his family.
Being restored starts with giving your life back to Christ, making a commitment to him. You may have a lot of difficulties standing in your way to get to the father's arms again but it's up to you to gather all of your strength and leave those things that have contributed to so much pain in your life. This is about life and death, it's time to come back to the one who really loves you. Begin right now with a simple prayer to him, find your old Bible or get a new one and start reading. Try out a new church or two until you find one that fits you. give today's Christian music a chance. By all means don't wait, do these things at once it is far too important.
