Has God Turned His Back On You?

In truth, it hasn't happened. Indeed you'll find when you the most alone in the world and the most vulnerable - the spirit of the Divine is closer than ever and giving you strength to overcome obstacles in your life.

Yes it can certainly seem that there is a God that doesn't care when people are taken unfairly from you, a job that seemed it would last and then didn't and when the person you thought you'd be with forever turns out to not be such a great catch - it's easy to blame all those things on a vindictive God that is punishing you but that's not really the case.

Unfortunately, we set ourselves up for a lot of our own hardships, running with a bad crowd, doing things the easy way - can lead to a path that isn't healthy or productive for us. Certainly no one asks for cancer or to lose a loved one and in those hard situations you need to reach deep and ask for strength to be given. Those are tough lessons to learn and they hurt a lot but through it you can find the compassion to help others in a similar situation get through it.

When you feel that God has turned his back on you and your prayers aren't being heard, I promise He is listening to your every word, he just wants you to put a little effort into your situation too. Stay strong and continue to move forward and you'll see miracles happen.
