Bible Question:
Where is God? I have been actively seeking for at least five years now. I, and my family, was recently baptised in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I have been regularly attending church for about a year now, and spend time in the word (though not as much as I should, I'm sure). But I still feel alone. Mathew7:7-8 7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. Jeremiah 29 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I have been seeking, I have knocked, I have prayed, I have aksed, I deisre nothing more than to know God. But even after all this I still doubt. I still question. i know that my doubt has made me a more knowledgable person, but what good is knowledge without God's presence? Where is God; why am I not allowed to know Him; how long must i seek before I can find Him? |
Bible Answer: When I read your statement, I can only respond with the basics. Keep reading your Bible and keep praying. You might try to spend more time with your fellow christians and ask a brother in whom you can confide your feelings and ask him how he has dealt with these kind of problems. With respect to your Bible reading, you might place special emphasis on reading from and about God's special people who had similar problems like Job and Solomon. They each had their own misgivings about God and provide some stimulating answers. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
