Are you sure God is with you? Maybe you have been disappointed with God and have built a great big wall. You no longer feel his presence, so you wonder - will God become frustrated with me in my stubbornness and abandon me?

Back in September, I was disappointed with God. It stemmed from a significant loss which I knew He could have prevented but didn’t. I erected a mighty BIG wall to keep him at a distance. My faith stood firm, but the feelings of His undeniable presence were gone.

Step by step, I had been inching my way back into the arms of God while trying hard to rekindle the feelings of His nearness.

"This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

God Never Moved

Oh, I know God never moved; it was me. I stomped my feet and allowed a wall to go up. He didn’t do things the way I had expected nor desired, and I responded in a way which put distance between us.

However, never once did I doubt He was near. Never once was my faith in jeopardy. After all, God and I have a relationship built on Trust covered with Faith, Hope, and Love.

Are you in a place where you don't feel God's presence?

How to Know God Is with You
1. Go to His word and take in the truth.

2. Remember those “God Moments” when His presence was undeniable. Write them down so you can pull them back out in times when you can’t feel his closeness.

Yes, I did make it to the airport unharmed with a new song in my heart and that old familiar feeling of the Lord's presence deep in my being. If you are not feeling near to God, I would love to pray for you. Please leave me a comment.
