Sometimes I feel like God is far away and we’re never going to get together.
When this happens I read these verses:
Romans 8: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. 39 Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If you feel like I do sometimes … think over what is being said.
The Bible is filled with answers and encouragement for life.
Nothing can separate you from God.
There is no place you could get to that God isn’t already there.

I recently wrote this in my journal: This morning I feel empty and broken. I’m past weary. I would like to crawl into bed and hide under the covers. I think there is a cure for this but I don’t know how to get there or find my way there. I’ve come to the end of myself. I don’t even want to look for the way out of where I am. I’m done. I feel no life and I certainly feel no joy.
Have you been in this place? I’m sure there’s a long list of people who know this place well. Jesus for one. This agonizing pain Jesus felt many times. It’s a part of being human; a part of being human that I don’t like.
How can I feel better? I have to make myself read these words in Romans 8: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. 39 Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Look at these words and feel their power when you need encouragement. God is here. God knows what He’s doing. God can be trusted.
