This question is a result of our thirsting for God. In one of the many contradictions we find in our faith, a godly and devout person has a hunger within the heart for God's presence, power, and wisdom. In Psalms 42:2, we read, "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." (NIV) When can I go and meet with God? Where is God, when God isn't there to give you a direct answer? All people struggle with this question. The Psalmist also wrote in Psalms 42:9 - 11, "I say to God my rock, 'Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?' My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, 'Where is your God?' Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my savior and my God. (NIV) There has always been a separation between God and man. Jesus came as a savior and messenger to bridge the gap between man and God. The Holy Spirit today serves as the bridge since Jesus cannot be physically with us. But the separation between man and God still exists because of our sin. Although many people do not like to hear the word, "repent", the act of repentance brings us closer to God. With enough repentance, we are brought to the very heart of God.
