Sometimes we feel like we are far away from God, Yes! Sometimes I myself feel that way. But what I usually do is to sit down for while and think about it, asking myself some questions like; Is there any way I may have gone wrong in my actions, thoughts, looks and reactions towards the things I see? Why do I feel so different when I am praying? and why does it feels like my prayers have not been answered? Sometimes, I feel this way.
But what do I do? I usually go to God in prayers, Asking for forgiveness where ever, I may have offended him. You know sometimes we are not conscious of the things we do wrong. Yes! because we are humans, and we make mistakes, and the reason why we call it mistakes is because it is been done unconsciously.
What am I saying in real sense? When ever you feel like your prayers are not answered or you feel like as if God is far from you, I think it is a call, a call to review your life and make amends. God is never far from anybody, according to his servant, we are the once who have taken the wrong path, and such feelings are common signaling a call to return to the ways of the lord. I recommend that you listen to the preaching, you will have more to learn.
