This week I have been begging for God to show up somewhere, anywhere...I can't find Him. Am I just too far away from Him to see Him? Has He walked away just as I have? Am I just a lost soul with no hope? Should I just stop searching?

Kristen.
Please know that God is there...He is always there. You may not be able to see, feel or hear Him but He is there. It is times like this that you need to bring to remembrance what you know...that He will never leave you.

There have been times in my life when I haven't felt His presence. It's hard because we feel that we've lost our ability to be with Him but it more likely it's that we have forgotten how to listen....or that we have other things in our lives that crowd Him out.

Continue to take some time to sit quietly and just 'be'. Know that more than anything else God wants to be with you and He will answer that prayer....you may not feel it today or tomorrow but it will happen if that is your deepest desire.

I will be holding you up in prayer asking that you might feel His presence.

Peace,
deb

Hi Kristin,
Oh my goodness, your post moved me to tears. Thank you for being so honest. I feel your pain. Please don't stop looking! HE is here and He is here with you. It is so frustrating sometimes, but know that there is always hope. God never ever leaves us. I say this because it is something that I often need to remind myself of. So many times, I get busy and I get self sufficient and tune Him out. Other times, I get hurt and I build walls to keep everyone(including God) out. And I must say, never not once has God not been there for me whenever I come crawling back to Him.
Oh, honey, I am just going to lift you and your hurting heart up to Him today and in the time to come so that you can rest in His peace and love and know that He has not forgotten you!
Love,
Carol
