We’re taking a couple of weeks at the end of the year to do a series in which we answer questions from our students. Last week we harvested a bunch of questions, and I spent the week poring over them, praying, thinking, and studying for some answers.
Some of the questions were goofy: Can DJ survive a day without coffee? How many letters are there in the Bible?
But some of the questions were great.
Tonight we took on this one:
Why does everyone say that God is always with you, but he seems so far away? I mean, I read my Bible and get really into praying and all, but I never hear his voice or feel like he is with me…I feel like he isn’t there. Why?
How would you answer that one?

that’s a great question. i had a similar question when we did a series like this after Christmas. we talked a lot about seeking/active listening. i also used a magic eye picture to illustrate perseverance adn actively looking for something we may not immediately see.
hope you’re having fun with the questions!
