Questioned

Have you ever questioned God presence in your life?

Has it ever felt like God has deserted you and left you to your own devices?

Have you ever felt like God should have been there for you, but He wasn’t? That He could have helped you, but He didn’t?

I have!

The thing is, at the time my answer to all the above questions would have been “Yes”, however I have realised that instead of questioning God, I really should have been questioning myself!

The question we really should ask ourselves when we feel God’s deserted us is not, “Where is God?” but, “Where is my faith?”

During my darkest days, I honestly felt all alone, and that no-one including God cared about me, but ultimately God pulled me through. How do I know it was God’s doing and not just my own strength that got me out of that dark pit of despair? I know because I had no strength left to face another day, to fight another battle, I had nothing left. So where did my strength come from? I truly believe it came from God.

So if you ever feel God has desert you, think again because I’m certain God will NOT have deserted you, but instead you may have turned away from Him.
