When people tell you that, "I feel far from God," or that, "God just doesn't seem to hear me."
The answer is: God never moved, He's here all the time. It's only we who move away from God. He waits for us to need to "find" Him again.
That usually happens when some decision or other we've made (without direction from God) produces much pain, misery or total collapse for us; we turn to God and ask, "How could you cause 'that' happen (to me)?"
His answer, "Sometimes you want your own way so badly, that I allow you to have it."
It's during those times, generally, that we "find our way back to God" and realize that He has been there all of the time waiting for us to look for Him.
If we look for Him, we always find Him.
I agree. Nicely said.
