When God Seems Distant

“God is real no matter how you feel.” Dr. Warren, renowned author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” begins his explanation on the 14th Day of the book.

It’s quite easy to praise God especially when you feel good about yourself and everything else in your life seems to be going the way you expect them to be-- when you’ve hit the mark, or people around you are quite supportive of your ideas, or you’re doing great in your job.  But the wind does not blow always blow in the same direction, so to speak. There will be times when you just feel that nothing good is happening in your life. Perhaps you’d been faithfully trusting him but nothing seems to help. It seems that no matter how you strive, still He seems to be so many miles away. How do you worship God then?

It's true we sometimes feel closer to God at certain times than we do at other times in our lives. Sometimes it takes a lightening bolt to wake us up to the realization that he does exist in our lives, when at times we weren't sure of it.

i agree glenway...just reminds us that we should always trust God and praise Him in whatever circumstance we are in for God will never leave us nor forsake us (even if it seems He isn't there), He always has His eyes upon us...thanks for the visit!

First off, I'd like to thank you Amjad for your well-meaning comment. I'd like to admit, though that I am not that knowledgeable about the teachings of Islam. This post. nonetheless, aims to unite everyone to have that belief that the Almighty God, who created everything here on earth, including you and me, are precious in His sight, and that He has us in His mind from the beginning and will be with us to the end. "He knows us; but more than that, He is knowable and approachable to us. He created us in His image – with personality, thought, and will – for the purpose of enjoying an everlasting, unbreakable, intimate relationship with Him. He exists as a Trinity in eternal relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In fact, God is so knowable, He came in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth" to be the ransom of mankind's sin, which as attested in the bible, was caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience. Those who believes Jesus' death and resurrection and accepts Him as God and Savior will receive the gift of everlasting life and while here on earth will have the assurance that "God will never leave us nor forsake us." And yes, you're right God's love is unconditional.
