Struggle

My grandma loves when I go to church every Sabbath, and I know fellowship is important. But honestly, I sometimes I feel God when I’m sitting in the service. But Where I really feel close to Him is when I’m in private, just me, my Bible, and prayer.

I still go sometimes (especially for youth group or Sabbath school), but not every week. I’ve been wondering if anyone else in the SDA community feels the same way, that their personal study and prayer life bring them closer to God than the church service itself.

How do you balance personal spirituality with the expectation of always being at church?
