I just needed to read this NOW ... God bless you ...
Please allow me to share my little story ...
I had a time when I felt God by all my senses ... I felt him very close to me ... and I loved him with all my heart ... it was such a perfect time ... I was so happy ..
Then, something bad happened to one of my relatives ... I prayed to God a lot to remove this bad thing, but I got no answer. I had no peace at that time, I cried a lot, spent a lot of days in depression. Then I began to question myself about God's love or even God's existence ... I felt betrayed that time.
Then, after some long time in despair, I decided to turn my back to God, just as he did to me (In my opinion that time). Ironically the problem got solved shortly, but i wasnt happy, i wasnt thanking God.
God didn't talk to me again since then, and my decision becomes stronger in not getting back. I never found peace away from him, but i kept reminding myself of the dark time i had. Sometimes I tried to get closer again, but i was failing, maybe i wanted to fail to justify my choice.
last week I got sever health issues, I felt death approaches (I'm only 26yo), I began to think about God again, but these thoughts evaporated quickly after I began to get better.
I got the same issues again today, I reconsidered my life and whether it's worth living or not. Without God, my life is worthless.
He is still silent to me, but this post gave me hope and enlightement.
Please pray for me ... and dont do what I did.
God is Good, ALWAYS
Please God, bring me back ...
