Fire warms you when you are at a distance. As you go nearer, it starts becoming hotter. If you throw a log into the fire, the log crackles, burns steadily into ashes and becomes part of the burning embers.
Similarly, it is easier to pray to God from a distance.
As you draw closer to Him, He will test you to check your faith in Him. The tests grow more intense as you move nearer and nearer, that it seems almost torture. Despite all the trials and tribulations that He hands to you as tests,
you must hold on, contemplating on nothing but Him. Then He will reward your faith and you will melt into oneness with Him.
Face whatever life has to offer you, with absolute patience and
do not miss out on God. At some point of time, you will start seeking God for the sake of God rather than pray to Him as a means to fulfill your materialistic desires. Then you will
realize that He is ultimate and nothing else counts. Once you reach this state, whatever you think, materializes.
