8 Truths To Remember When You Think God Is Far From You

I recall the early days of my Christian life where I felt that God was far from me and that He was not paying any attention to me. The hardships. The struggles for days on end. Often times, I wondered to myself ‘God where are you? Do you even remember me? Is my case not up for hearing as yet? When are you going to turn things around for me?’

I admit it was really difficult. But now as I continue to mature in the word of God, it is more of a reality that the enemy of our soul is the one who plays on our mind as he accuses God of not being near to us and that He [God] will not help you.

Not only does he accuse God, the bible says he is also the accuser of the brethren. He use the mouth of others to speak lies and to make you believe that God is mad with you and that He is disappointed in you.

He also has the nerve to try and make you think believe that you did so much wrong in your past that there is no way that God will ever forgive you and that you are not saved. So there you are carrying around the weight of guilt, shame and condemnation.

The next time however thoughts that God is far from you comes to mind or He is disappointed in you, meditate on the word of God:
