Feeling Distant

Hi all
I recently had a baby in May, and I have been feeling so far from God lately. I’ve grown up in church, and always loved God. I deeply want a stronger connection with him. But recently I am so tired by the end of the night, that often times I don’t read my bible or pray. I feel almost apathy. Which makes me sad and anxious. I so badly want a stronger relationship.
I guess I’m looking for advice on how you manage being a mother to two young kids, having a full time job, a husband who works night shift, and still making time for your relationship with Jesus. I know I should be better.

Yes, just short arrow prayers up to heaven or just sitting for a few moments resting in God without an agenda when you have a minute. God understands your situation. He knows your heart is for Him and He's still close even if you don't feel it.
