When God Seems Distant

[_slimmy_]

It is easy to worship God when your doing great in your life, when he has given you food, friends, family, health, and happy situations. But at times that your in a situation that is not so great, and no so pleasant, How do you worship God? When he feels like a million miles away. "The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain,

OMG I owe you like a million Hugs!!! like we are thinkin exactly the same!!! "We need to go to Christ and say 'despite these hard times...I'm going to worship You'" and sometimes we need to live through the "nothings of God" which is where faith is tested pure and whole...where God says now wait...let's see how patient you are in your faith... great post sonia bear, great post

ROFL!!! a good one though!!! Me and you are just doing what someone else has done for us, open our eyes to the truth, and we are constantly learning. V. Raymond Edman said "Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light."

Wow, those words have pierced my heart. I'm truely speechless. The truth that no matter what we do, God will always be there is just amazing.
I've been through so much and at one point thought that God wasn't there. But little did I know back then that He had never left me, I had left Him.
Now I know He is here with me everywhere I go.
It also bring a HUGE joy to my heart reading this in your LJ, I know and see that God is working thru you. Keep it up. ;D

hmmm.....It seems that people get discouraged because they can't see or even feel that God is there. But we need to realize that it's not by site, but by faith. Just becasue u cant see the air does not mean it is'nt there. Even when your not thinking about it it is working all around you giving you the ability to breath. God is the same way. Even though we can't see Him physically, has nothing to o with Him being present. He is always present in our everyday lives, we just can't see it sometimes because we overlook it. But sit own and think about the times that you almost got into a car accident or been in a car accident and survived. That is not even a fraction of the way the God is present in our lives....i talk too much

HEY... u dont understand how amazed i am to hear u speak this way. we need to realize that life is a gift.. a gift from our holy father... i was lost but now i am found, and i was blind but now i see...
this is for us sonia ----> " what do you think? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one goes astray, does he not leave the niety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? and if he should find it, assuredly, i say to you, he rejoices more over the sheep than over the niety-nine that did not go astray. even so it is not the will of your father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish"
