Keep in mind that like any other relationship, be it with a friend and let alone the Master of the Universe, requires work. Work need not be such an onerous thing--but you will notice that if you don't make an effort to know people, you will find that your relationships wither and die rather quickly. Family relationships are a bit easier, as you are born into your family--but like any other relationship, uncultivated familial relatioships also rot.
The same thing applies with the Lord. It is a bit harder, though; our Parents' sin separated Him from us. Today, people stubborn in sin pull others away from God (and unfortunately, many of these rebellious types parade themselves as elites). Nevertheless, we have hope in that God, through the faithful, makes himself known. The best way we can keep contact with the Almighty is through prayer. It may seem like such a task. But had I not made the effort years before, I would have a lot less friends today. It may be difficult, since God seems so unfathomable, but remember this--just because cave fish can't see doesn't mean light doesn't exist!
Job 7:16
I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are but a breath.
