When You Can’t Find God
(Jeremiah 29:13/NIV) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Have you ever felt like there were times in your life when God was nowhere around? Perhaps you’re feeling a void of His Presence right now. God is always near you. He’s always surrounding you and keeping watch over you. God is in every moment of your life. But for those time when you can’t find Him, it may be that while He is present with you – you are not being fully present with Him. You can’t expect to sense a relational bond you want with God if you don’t spend time relating with Him. The sense of separation and distance you feel with God is the same as what you feel when you neglect spending time with the people who matter most in your life. God will never go missing in action in your life – but occasionally, you will. So the next time you are having trouble finding God, check and see where you’ve gone, and get yourself back in His company. He’s right there with you.
