About Knowing God

Question:



I really need some answers. I am a Christian and I do my devotions every night. But I still feel like God isn't there anymore and I don't know what to do. Please help me.




Answer:



One thing that we have to understand in coming to God is that our relationship with Him is not one that we judge by our feelings, because our feelings can tell us one thing when the reality is something else. God reminds us that our hearts can be deceived if we rely on our emotions, and God has chosen not to relate to us through them. When we come to God we have to see the way that He has prepared for us, and He prepared the way for us through faith. Only then are we able to walk with God in the way that pleases Him and is fulfilling to us. I would also like to encourage you to keep pressing forward in your walk. Our walk with God is not just based on having devotions, it's learning to live out the life and Spirit He placed inside of us. A key part of that is through receiving His Truth into our lives daily, through His Word, but keep letting Him reveal Himself to you, and as He reveals, obey.
