I am not getting any kind of personal relationship with my father of confession because he is just not a personal person. I don't have a real dad. The only Father I have is God, but sometimes I feel that I'm distant from Him. There are a number of issues that disturb me. To name a few, I get really anxious about death and eternity. I have separation anxiety; my mother who is an awesome mother, is the one person I can say I talk to a whole lot about things. Could you please help me in any way?

God is your Father and no one loves you more than He does. He is watching over you at all times even when you think you can't reach Him. Put your faith in Him and memorize Holy Book of Psalm 23 "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want" for no matter what you face in life God is with you and He will never leave you alone.

I am glad you have such a wonderful relationship with your Mom, you should be grateful for such a bond. Many children have a two parent household and do not have the close relationship with either one of them the way you have it with your mom.

Rather than looking on what you lack I want you to recognize what you do have and all the blessings the Lord has bestowed upon you. Have faith in Him and talk to Him. Pray and have faith in your own prayers for the Lord listens to prayers.

Also I want you to work on your relationship with your father. I am sure that he loves you, but you need to communicate more together.
