The reason is not that God is far away from us, but we have take. road that made us very very far from him
the book of Isaiah the Bible let us know that God vividly told us this in Isaiah 59:1-4
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it canot hear you but your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.
[3]For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.
[4]No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
most times it looked as if God is very far from us, but in real sense it's our deeds amd character that has separated us from him, we have taken a road that leads us further away from him.
Isaiah the prophet told us, indeed our sins has created a barricade between us and God, we were suppose to have a one fellowship with God as it was designed from the beginning....
Malachi 3:7
Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them . Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’ Do Not Rob God
we've gone astray, away from God's law and ordinance meant for us, I use to say that if a train should leave the rail track for it, it will crash that's how it is for humans , if We disrespect the order of life we will suffer for it
many of us have taken a detour away from the original course that was design by God for our lives that's why it looks as if God is not hearing us when we pray and seek his face
Let us stay close to God in His word
