Confession

Perhaps one of the most important things we should do each day is to confess our sins to the Lord. Again, the Confession's response to "What is sin?" is "Any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God." We can't possibly go through a day without sinning - for me it is multiple times - and sin is what separates us from God. Don't make the mistake of thinking that our sins are "big" things. If you ever think you don't have much sin, just ask God to reveal your own heart to you. He has shown me so many disgusting, revolting things inside my heart - things like jealousy, bitterness, ingratitude, self-centeredness, greed, worry, lack of love, - and the list goes on and on. But the wonderful promise of God is that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness ( Jn. 1:9). If you ever feel that God is not close to you, it is probably due to one or both of these things - lack of confession and/or trusting in your feelings. It is absolutely imperative that you trust in God's Word: He pardons our sins, He has compassion on our weaknesses, He redeems our life from the pit. Don't listen to Satan's lies.
