God is not far away from us we are the ones who are going far from God’s presence. We run away from God because we do not want to follow his commandments. When we take the route of disobedience to the will of God, we become aliens to God and that makes us to be far away from Him.
God Himself is not far from us. He has never been far from us. He never has been. God is a loving and caring Father. He is always around His own. Those who are his are always enjoy presence with them.
Those who are living not according to the will of God cannot see God with them because God hates those who are not obedience to him. So, the solution to the problem of feelings far from God is to be obedient to God.
To be obedient to God, we must study His will and His ways from the Bible.
