Never Alone-BarlowGirl

 I waited for you today
But You didn’t show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You’d be there
And though I haven’t seen You
Are You still there?

You ever have one of those days where God feels distant or absent? I think all Christians struggle at one time or another with thoughts of separation from God. We desperately search but can't seem to find Him. Even King David, who was known for having an intimate relationship with the Lord, felt far from God at times. He laments in Psalm 22:2

O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;

And by night, but I have no rest.

 

David cries out to the Lord concerning his struggle and the Lord answers in verse 24

 

For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

Nor has He hidden His face from him;

But when he cried to Him for help, He heard

 

It is in this times when we feel alone or forgotten that we need to remember God's promise to us that He hears us and is always near.
