In this episode, we will do this by delving into the common experience of feeling that God has withdrawn from us as Christians. Many of us have encountered this feeling where he seems so distant, though there was a time when we felt so close to him. What’s up with that?

In looking into this, I came up with two suggestions. I know there may be more, and please leave others in the comments section for me.

Scripture Reference:
Romans 8:11 ~ God makes his home in us.
Hebrews 13:5 ~ God promises he will never leave or forsake us.
Psalm 22 ~ King David feeling that God was distant.
