Here’s to the one who struggles to feel God’s presence and is longing for more. Here is a poem I wrote about it a few weeks ago.
In a random afternoon after reading the Bible some: I felt God’s presence so deeply, in a way like no other. It lasted that night and I was blown away with how at ease I felt. Nothing else mattered. His overwhelming love washed over me and I felt so connected to God. It was such a peaceful and joyous feeling. I felt free and was so much at rest. I didn’t know how this feeling came into me so randomly but I praise God for letting me experience it. It helped push away the lies in my head that I don’t feel God enough. I wanted it to last more days, but the next morning it was gone. I felt disappointed that I didn’t feel that high level of God inside me again. I blamed myself. I wanted to give up on trying to find that again—it felt impossible. But I remembered we have a God of the impossible. Maybe I won’t have that exact experience again, but I will find sweet moments in His presence along the way. God’s not leaving me, even when I can’t feel Him. The absence of feeling God doesn’t mean you have less faith. But let the knowledge that He is already there comfort you.
At the end of my poem I put “Let me get to know the conductor more” in parentheses. It was just a subtle sweet way of saying let me get to know the Lord more. The conductor is God!
Anyways, I hope this encourages someone or reminds you that God is near. He loves you 🤍
