Perhaps it is time to reset your priorities.
But you, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations. Why do you forget us forever, why do you forsake us for so many days?
Lamentations 5:19-21 (ESV)
"It is a turning of the soul to the Lord. Not to creeds, not to churches, but to the Lord Himself, as the object of supreme love. The centering of the whole soul upon Him. If the Lord is loved supremely, He will be the dominant subject of thought, the leading theme of conversation, the paramount sovereign of life. It is a turning of the soul to the Lord by the Lord. No one can turn the human soul to God but Himself. A man may as well endeavor to roll back the Mississippi to its mountain springs as to turn back the soul to the Lord; He alone can do it, and He does it by the influence of nature, historic events, Gospel truths, and Christly ministries." (Homilist)
God does not abandon us; He does not move. We are the ones who often move slowly away from Him and then wonder where He has gone.
We need to keep placing ourselves in situations that allow us to examine what we believe. We need times apart from the ordinary to see the extraordinary. Satan often uses good busyness to keep us from productive lives.
Healthy people practice healthy procedures to put themselves in the best position to succeed. If you are struggling with your relationship with God, it is not because God is hiding, for He is always waiting for you.
Perhaps it is time to reset your priorities and make sure that God is first on that list, so you never get to the point where you think He has abandoned you.
