“For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.” (2 Chronicles 30:9)
Imagine being adrift on a life raft, the beach slowly receding into the distance. While most of us haven’t faced this situation physically, many of us encounter it spiritually. As we journey through life, we may feel abandoned, as though the Lord has left us. However, it is not God who moves away; like the steadfast land, He remains constant. The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:8)
In those moments when we sense God’s distance, we must reject the lie that He has rejected us. Instead, we should take steps to draw closer to Him and rejoice in His loving – kindness. Our Heavenly Father longs for a personal relationship with each of us, and it is in this relationship that we discover strength, peace, and hope. Our connection with God is built on knowing His Word and communicating through prayer. These are not mere religious rituals, but vital links to the Creator of the universe. Draw near, my friend, and watch as the Lord draws near to you.
“When you feel God has drifted, it is not Him that moved; it is us.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You are my Rock and an ever-present help in times of need. In moments when I feel lost at sea, remind me of Your faithfulness and love. May Your Spirit guide me to draw closer to You and trust in Your Word over my feelings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Is Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life? Have you once followed Him but now feel adrift?
Pray this prayer to start a new life or recommit to Jesus:
Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I acknowledge that I am not right with You, and I desire to be. I ask for Your forgiveness for all my sins. Your Word says that if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be redeemed. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
