Why do SOME Christian parents, teach their children, that when praying to God, they should direct their prayers to heaven, or that God can only be found in physical places of worship? I believe this is why many grow up believing God is unreachable, and far from them in time of need. God is omnipotent and omnipresent, and not limited by physical structures or places.
In fact, the Bible teaches that God's spirit dwells "within us":
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you .
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
