Far Side, your not too far from God. He loves you. He's Omnipotent and Omnipresent. He is everywhere, not just in Heaven. It seems to me that God wants you to know something. He wants you to know that the God who created all things Good and Righteous, the Almighty One True God who is Sovereign over all, wants to Be that friend you need. And he's the only friend you can truly ever trust and rely on.
Sometimes it seems like God is on the Far Side of the universe. And that he doesn't care, but he only allows things to happen to build your Faith and Love in him. Everything that the devil uses to hurt us, God always brings Glory out of.
First of all are those friends that you talked about Christians? God says that we shouldn't fellowship with Non Christians because that we are unequally yoke, our friendship, or whatever relationship we try to establish will never work out, ever, because the world, and the subsequent people of it, will never understand God, if they don't try to.
After all my years of living I've only made two close friends in this world, ever. And as long as we had things in common it was good, we had fun, and we spent time together. But it was pointless, as soon as I realized I needed God's intervention in my life, and God told me I had to give up my worldly things, and I did, they didn't have anything in common with me anymore, and finally God told me to "Let them be" and I cut them off from me and my life.
I gave up a lot of things and it was hard for me, but it was worth it. My only true friend is and only will be Jesus the Almighty Christ. I love him and he loves me.
And to address God not speaking to you, have you ever considered being a real friend to him? Not just asking him for stuff, but just talking to him, and listening to him. If you listen to him he'll listen to you.
God, behind all of his power, is a person too. He has feelings and emotions too. He doesn't want you to forget him. And he will NEVER forget you.
Just remember this, The God who put where you are, is the same God who will take you through it.
"For we know that God has all power, and that he is sovereign above all. His love is infinite, His Grace, Insurmountable, His power, Unstoppable, and In Him, through Christ our Savior who died for our Salvation, for the Sole Purpose of making a way for us to reach the Father, and sending his Comforter and Helper to do that, to Comfort and Help us, In Him, Knowing all these things to be true and fact for ever, we can do all things. For my problems, sorrows, and my Heartaches are nothing compared to what Jesus went through. He suffered and Died, and he overcame all, In him too, can and will we overcome. If I leave you with any knowledge, let it be this, there are other people in this world who have problems, sorrows and Heartaches just the same, and that you, my brethren and sisters are not the only ones who suffer. Be Kind, Be Gentle, and Love One Another, for what Each person sees in Public compares not to what God sees in Secret. The pain you hide, the sorrow behind your smile, and everything hidden from others, cannot and will not be hidden from God, The Almighty God, who knows all, and sees all, For God, in seeing all, knows all pain, so worry not, neither fret thyself envious of those who seem to have more than you, because God sees all, and Knows all, and what you cannot see in Public, God sees in secret, and that those that have much worldly treasures, are filled with Emptiness and Nothingness, and Heartache just the same. Let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter, Fear and Respect the Living, Loving, Almighty God, Obey his Commandments, and Love One Another, for in Loving One Another, you will find True Love, and Fulfillment In Christ Jesus, our Almighty Christ, And Lord. In the name of the Holy Savior Jesus the Christ, In the name of Jesus the Lord, Amen."
"And he asked, 'What exactly is Scourging?' and she answered and said, 'What Jesus went through to show God's Almighty, Graceful Love for us.' and he replied, 'what do you mean?' and she simply said, 'I have been to the Far Side of The Moon and back, and Jesus loved me through it all.'"
She is you, and He Is anyone who asks that question of you from now on.
God Bless you all, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Amen.
