A few years after becoming a Believer, I stopped investing in my relationship with the Lord years ago and found myself discontent and angry. I didn\u2019t WANT to be this way, but I just couldn\u2019t \u2018get happy!\u2019 It wasn\u2019t until I started making time for God and His Word every day, praying to Him unashamedly and listening for His response that things started to change.
