there are many christians who talk about having seasons of not experiencing God, which implies that there are times when God did feel close to them. many christians speak of how God was near to them before and then they went through a wilderness experience. im not discrediting their pain, but what about people who have absoultely never eperienced God being near to them?
that is my story. ever since i came to God for salvation, life went downhill, with doubts, depression, hopelessness. ive never experience the love, comfort, or presence of God, which makes me question if he was ever really with me. ive asked multiple times to be saved, i prayed for a saving faith, i prayed for hte Holy Spirit to convict me of my sinful nature and show me my need for Jesus as Savior, so that i would truly be sincere in coming to Christ.
i dont know whats wrong. but i know many christians talk about dry seasons, or walking through the valley, and they encourage others to be strong because they will once expeirence God again. but what if you have NEVER experienced God? what is God doing in my life and the lives of others that he has always been hidden from? Does he love those people? why is he acting that way?
