Feeling far from God

[StartedAtEly]

Does anyone else sometimes feel far from God? What is the best way to remedy the feeling?

I have felt that way, yes.
I open my Bible, not for the sake of opening it but to really absorb some scripture. I slowly read of God's love and I feel it.

There are some really uplifting Christian videos on Youtube, as well.

Also, pray to God, in Jesus name. Talk to him. Tell Him how you feel.

Blessings to you.

a possible but not must be is because of the barrier of sin. if we have committed sin, but dont confess and repent for a long time, our sin distance us from God, like we are shut out of the Spirit. pray with the burden at your heart that is pray as the Holy Spirit leads you and search your sin, and 'confess to God, He is faithful to cleanse you from all unrighteousness'. with th eblodd of Jesus, you are right with God again. He loves you eternally and unconditionally.

another possible-- you are deceived by the devil as you live in the soul because our feelings are from the soul. soul is also a place where the devil manipulates us-- deceives us with his lies. we believe God is with us by faith not by sight (that includes senses like feelings). if so, may God bring you to read my blog 'overhwelming victory is ours as we surrender to Christ', and freely share it with anyone. this helps you conquer the feelings from the devil and live out Christ's victory.

I agree, this is true

I have often felt like that. What helped me was reading the Bible, praying to God and listening to Christian music.

Remember Deuteronomy 4:29
“But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.”

Read the Footprints in the Sand poem. God is never far from you.

I think people just get tired, their mind is tired, their feelings are numb from the daily turmoil of life and they seem to feel distant from God, family or Loved ones. Some get to the point they feel like zombies or slaves just working all the time, dealing with crisis after crisis and then they just feel numb since their nerves are spent, their feelings are overwhelmed and they start to wonder where those feelings went. We all can find some agreement on that if we have worked too much or just had too much emotional turmoil from life itself eat us up and leave us dry and without feeling. However, we can find new energy and refresh our minds and bodies. Eat well, eat healthy, exercise and just Pray and talk to Jesus. Just lay on the bed and let your body relax, talk to Jesus through Prayer and just share some quality time with Him while relaxing. If you have a busy day, then do it at night, or tell the family you need to take a rest for an hour and refresh your mind and soul. The Love will come back, you just have to let your body recoupe from all the other things that happened and finding Peace and Love with God is by spending time with God. Even just go to your Church any time of the day and relax in a pew and Pray, focus on just Praying to Jesus and sharing your thoughts and life with Jesus. Some find that throughout the day, when they are tired and weary, they will turn on Inspirational Christian music to fit the mood, when you are tired you don't play Christian rock, just play some soft Christian Music and relax and think. Praying helps me every time. I Pray for strength, wisdom and guidance and for Jesus to renew my body that I may keep going and do the things I need to get done or even just to have energy to Praise Him. We all get to the point we are spent (tired, exhausted) both mentally and physically and feel numb and distant from our feelings at some point. But renew yourself, give your body the nutrients it needs to heal, give your mind a refresher and its sort of like a mini vacation with Jesus. I hope that helps. God Bless.
