i know where your coming from.

i am beginning to think that those things that happen when i think he is near are merely emotional responses to what ever is happening at the time. i could be wrong, but how would you explain being in a less stressful situation and needing some sort of assurance but getting nothing. only after large amounts of stress and grief it does it feel as though 'he is near'.

he is always near according to his word, and thats what i chose to believe, stressed or not.

A good way to feel His presence is sing a love song to Him ;)

Are you going through more things than usual, Nyanda or Issue777?

Well I guess all Christians feel or have felt that the Lord is just to quiet in their lives.Our faith would be very weak if we needed a sign from heaven everyday.I keep on praising His name and praying.I love Him with all my heart.God Bless, lssue.

Something was said this last week in church in how God speaks to us that I never thought of before...When God confronted Saul about his persecution of Christians, God told Paul to go into the city and there he would be told what he was to do. God may tell us to "go into the city" but if we don't do as He says, why would He tell us more?? Maybe when we feel like God is too quiet,which I agree that a lot of us probably do feel that way from time to time, maybe instead of wondering where God is we need to ask ourselves what more we could do for God and then after doing...listen. Great post!!

@ river, not really. there was a time when my life was a living hell, sometimes God spoke, sometimes he acted and sometimes he was quiet. i was under severe 'spiritual attack'. i remember one night things got really bad, but i decided that i was not going to open my eyes, i closed my eyes tight pulled my covers over my head and spooned my pillow. then i felt this .. thing expand on my chest. the tighter i closed my eyes the bigger it got. felt like a weird hug. i would sit and try to figure out what was happening to me and why, and try not to complain. i figure he was saying "be still and know that I Am God."

God is calm and gentle. Kind and patient. Everything he needed to tell us he already did. Just read the bible with a spirit thirst for kowledge and answers. You will find ALL the answers you need. So many times God leads us to look for answers in his word. When reproaching satan Jesus could just snap his finger and the enemy would disappear, but instead, he said: "It's written", showing us the way to reproach the devil and find the way to victory over our troubles. Today we have the SPIRIT. And the Word tells us that we do NOT need ANYBODY to teach us, but the Spirit, that He would teach us about EVERYTHING. When we are feeling doubtful about a situation, pray. God will bring peace into your heart and must do nothing. Inside the Grace, firm on the ground of belief, wait for His action. Learn how to deal with time. Do not despair, nor faint, for the Lord thy God is dwelling for you. Stay in his peace, in the comfort of His arm. All will be resolved. And you will reach a state of well being and sweet relaxation called JOY. When we can not feel God is because we are too busy with ourselves. When we can not hear him is because we are thinking too much, too loud. Pull yourself out of the center of the universe and quiet down and you will feel Him and hear Him.

if God is feeling more distant guess who moved. We all go through that at times i think. The secret is relationship with God.
