Sometimes, we may feel that God is distant from us in our spiritual journey. We exist and engage in a physical realm, yet we may struggle to experience God’s presence. Can you imagine how a love letter from God could help you during your struggles?
You might be going through a life crisis, health challenges, family difficulties, or feelings of loneliness. While we seek support, God may appear distant, making us feel like we are confronting these trials on our own.
What should we do when God seems distant?
First, we can confidently trust God’s presence, as He provides the Holy Spirit to every believer. Secondly, we can find comfort in His written Word (John 14:16 & Psalm 121).
I would love to share a beautiful love letter from God that’s sure to refresh your heart and remind you just how special you are Him. It’s just like discovering a heartfelt letter, text, or email from a dear friend that once lifted your spirits. An intimate friend may understand us better than we understand ourselves. If this is true for an earthly friend, think how much more it is for God, who lovingly created each of us and cherishes us deeply.
Read and meditate on Psalm 139:1-18. As you read, imagine yourself in the text.
Psalm 139:1-18 – New Living Bible
O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head.
This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there.If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me.
If I try to hide in the darkness, the night becomes light around me. For even darkness cannot hide from God; to you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about.
Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!
How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me.[a] And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!
