Every Christian goes through a period at some time in their life when their relationship with God becomes dull or painful. For some, it happens at times of great success; others find that difficulties with health, relationships or career cause them to feel that God has abandoned them. Many cannot find an appropriate reason for their state.
“When we believe God answers prayer miraculously, it makes tragedies of life harder to accept,” says Jennifer, who describes her own experience of chronic illness in her bestselling book, Beyond Healing. Before writing, ‘Where Have You Gone, God?’ She contacted over a thousand people who, at some time in their Christian lives, felt far from God. Their experience, and the wisdom of Christians down the ages, combines to make a book of comfort and hope. ‘There are no easy answers. Spiritual deserts are terrible, but they pass and through them, our love for God is so often strengthened enormously’.
Sometimes we feel so hard to continue on, when we feel so distant from God, we doubt, we question, but do we do the same thing when the sun doesn’t shine??? As you read the book, you will understand that God does everything for a purpose and by every step He draws you more closer to Him. You will agree with Naomi as she says,
I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining
I believe in love even when I cannot feel it
I believe in God even when He is silent.
