Your Question:
where is god when i need him most?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the desperation in your question. "Where is God when I need Him most?" It's a question that has echoed through the ages, and one that I've grappled with myself in times of crisis. The truth is, God is not physically distant from us; He's not some far-off deity who's unreachable. No, He fills all and is in all. The distance between us and God is not a physical one, but a moral one. It's sin that separates us from Him. But here's the good news: that distance can be bridged by the sacrifice of the cross. Through faith in Jesus' blood, we're brought near to God. In fact, as the scripture says, "For in the Person of His Son I am as near as He." This is a profound truth that has brought me comfort in times of need. You see, God doesn't need our worship or service; He's all-powerful and doesn't require anything from us. But when we properly offer our worship and service, we exalt Him and magnify His glory. So, where is God when you need Him most? He's right there with you, my friend. He's not distant; He's not absent. He's present in the midst of your struggles, your fears, and your doubts. He's present in the midst of your relationships, your community, and your family. As Jesus said, "Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." God is not localized; He's not confined to a specific place or time. He's always available, always present, and always seeking to draw near to you.
