WHEN IT FEELS LIKE GOD IS HIDING
SCRIPTURES IN FOCUS: Job 13:20-24
Only grant me these two things, God,
and then I will not hide from you:
21 Withdraw your hand far from me,
and stop frightening me with your terrors.
22 Then summon me and I will answer,
or let me speak, and you reply to me.
23 How many wrongs and sins have I committed?
Show me my offense and my sin.
24 Why do you hide your face
and consider me your enemy?
PRAYER
Father God, there are times when You feel distant, and we are tempted to believe that You are hiding from us. Help us not to think this way or allow it to define Your faithfulness. Teach us to trust Your heart even when we do not understand. Give us the courage to be honest before You and bring our questions to You. Help us believe that You are still working in us even when You seem silent. Help us rest in Your promises that You will never leave us nor forsake us.
Reflection Questions:
1. How do you interpret God's silence? Does it mean that He is absent?
2. What evidence from Scripture reminds you that God is faithful even when we cannot sense His presence?
3. Why does God sometimes seem hidden?
