Recently, for some unexlplained reason, I've just felt like I need to embrace my religion. I'm Jewish by the way. I can't explain it. I haven't gone through any traumatic experiences, or anything like that. I'm perfectly healthy and somewhat successful; happily married, etc.. I just have a sudden desire to read the bible and start going to temple. Has anyone else felt like this before?

I have. Well, I always feel that way. But I have more of a desire to get close to what I call god than to get close to the religious life. I think you should go for it. Once we attain the things we have desired materially and emotionally we often arrive at a longing for the spiritual reality in my opinion. I've seen it happen to other people. Some people set a bunch of goals, get them and then they are like "now what?"
As for me, I have not met any of my goals and am a bit of an idiot but I have always had a strong spiritual practice.

Yes, if you listen to your heart, everyone feels this desire at one point in their lives, for some it takes a lot longer. Follow your desire to learn. G-d will teach you. He puts those desires in your heart, so He is trying to teach you spiritually and help you grow. Dont let it slip away, follow your heart. Study your bible, and go to temple. Do what you feel a draw toward. It is Him drawing you towards that spiritual walk.

Sort of.....but not to get closer to my religion. Rather to become closer to my deities. Yes, I've felt like that. It is usually after I've become a bit complacent in my practices and need to set my priorities straight. I think it's a natural part of the ebb and flow of life.

Yes I have, I like that since god is coming back soon he is trying to get us to understand that if we dont get our life straight we will not go to heaven with him. He loves us all so he wants us to get closer to him so that we wont get left behide. I felt the need to get closer not only o my religion but to him. I want to go to heaven. So if u have the need to get closer to ur religan do so.â¥â¥â¥

We should all be seeking to be closer to Jesus Christ since he's soon to return. The world is getting more and more wicked and God is being grieved by it so the urgency you feel is Christ tugging at your heart and God giving you the opporitunity to surrender to His Son Jesus Christ.
Receive Him and have eternal life In Jesus Name!!
