I have often had the same feeling of a distant God throughout this past year. This thinking has been a valuable lesson for me: in that it was when God seemed so far away, that I began to realize how close He is the rest of the time and how vital (truly, life-sustaining) His presence and grace are to my very existence. And I agree that one of the reasons for this spiritual apathy is a lack of fellowship with other believers. But I have been very blessed to meet two or three fine Christian men here at Penn State who have blessed me beyond words.<BR/>Let me know if there's any way that I can be of an assistance as I can appreciate the floundering sensation you described.gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669838.post-1143784043674493432006-03-31T00:47:00.000-05:002006-03-31T00:47:00.000-05:00Why is it that whenever we feel that we need God the most, He seems the most distant? That is the story of my life the past year. I know all about "need" and even more about distance. <BR/><BR/>AgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
