Topic: Why God Seems Far Away

When God seems far away in our suffering, He seems far away because we are small and He is infinite. God seems far away in our suffering because our suffering eats away at our ability to believe and trust in our loving God. In addition, our smallness compared to God is a lesson we need to learn. The lesson to be learned is we are dependent upon God. However, when we place our heart and soul in the hands of God, we come to find we are not weak in our dependence upon God. We find empowerment in God because our faith makes us a part of the infinite. Our faith helps us bring God (who may seem far away) into our inner being so we can have direct contact with Him. When we have contact with Him we can experience God within us. Our smallness and His infinity is not a curse but a blessing for we can hide in His infinite power and infinite love. In God, we can find infinite peace, infinite comfort, infinite reassurance, and infinite love..all of which bring Him into the center of our life so He is no longer far away.
