Why not a feeling a witness from the Holy Ghost or to feel the presents of the Lord in your life?

Because feelings can deceive you. Your assureance of salvation comes from knowing what God says in His word and trusting it.

I know when I am not as close to God as I could/should be, and I do feel bad, but I KNOW I am not close because of what God says not because of what I feel.

Think about that story Footsteps in the Sand. It is kind of right on track. The person did not feel close when he was going thru the bad times, but in reality that was when God was closest. I believe there is a good point to that. When we "feel" alone, we should trust that God will be there for us.

I know my master voice!

I know when I feel seperated from the Lord and when I am in his presents.

John 14:
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

2 Thes. 3:
16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Yep, right on target!
