Your closeness with God can be restored or strengthened via prayer and fasting. Fasting, for many seasoned Christians, is a catalyst for rekindling their "first love" for God. One approach to become humble before God is via fasting (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). When fasting, King David declared, "I lowered my soul" (Psalm 69:10). During your fast, start each day with praise and worship. Preferably while knelt down, read and consider the Scriptures. - Ask God to reveal His plan for your life via prayer.
Read carefully and understand, you will find the answer to your confusion, to your prayers not being answered, to ways of Christianity, to ways of reconciliation, to understand the power of fasting.
