God,
Where Are you? Can you hear me?
I
don’t believe that there is person on the planet who has not asked,
“God, where are you? Can you hear me?” at one time or another.
Many would most likely agree that we ask questions of this nature
quite often. For those of us who pray do you sometimes feel as if God
is answering every other prayer in the entire universe with the
exception of yours? Why does God sometimes feel so far away? When
life becomes bitter it’s easy to give up on God. It is easy to
believe that God does not love us or desire the best for us. I mean,
if he did love us would he allow such awful things to sometimes
happen? Would he allow us to cry out for change until we become worn
and yet it seems as if no change is in sight? Would God allow
homeless people to sleep under bridges or young children to be
abused? Would the God who loves us so much allow catastrophe and
calamity to hit our land? Would there really be no jobs and a growing
unemployment line if God was really there? We all have pondered these
thoughts. So what do you do? Do you give up on a God who promises
latter rain? Do you give up on a God who has declared in his word
that we all have an expected end? Do we give up on a God who has a
proven record of bringing forth restoration? Do we throw away a God
who has promised to provide wellsprings in the midst of our desert
experiences? Do we cave in and quit because we can’t always see God
in our situations. The answer is absolutely not. You must keep
talking to God; he’s on the other end of the line. You must believe
that He rewards those of us who seek him with diligence. You must
continue praying! Yes prayer changes things but most importantly
prayer changes us! Keep pacing the floors as you make your petitions
known to Him. Even if there’s no trace of God you must know that
he’s there. Can you see air? No. Yet as we exhale we immediately
inhale again knowing that there is an invisible substance that
encompasses us and as we take it in, it sustains life. We must view
God in like manner. He’s there even when you can’t see him. Like
oxygen, He will sustain you. Don’t give up. When everything in you
is saying “I quit” you must ask the Guarder of Life for strength.
God will miraculously grace you to make it through yet another day.
Stand on His promises. Pick up the Word of God and find a scripture
to reference. You don’t have to overwhelm yourself with the entire
Bible. Find one promise to stand on and keep reminding God of what he
said he would do for you. Before you know it your deliverance will
have come. You will then look back and realize that perhaps God was
actually there all along.
Blessings!

Excerpt:
Introduction
I know now, Lord, why you utter no
answer. You yourself are the answer.
—C. S. Lewis
If you’re reading this book, more
than likely you are in what is called a pressed place; a place of
waiting. Does it seem as if God has forgotten about you? Has everyone
else around you begun to celebrate their miracles, yet you are still
crying yourself to sleep at night? Are you feeling a
sense of weariness and emptiness? Have
you been praying and crying out to God day in and out and still you
see no change? Have you found yourself wondering if God has gone on
vacation? Have you been contemplating that perhaps what you are
believing God for is not in His will? Well if this describes you,
congratulations! You are next in line for a miracle. I decree and
declare defeat is not your portion; victory is your portion. Receive
it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
What the enemy wants us to believe is
that God will never answer our prayers. The kingdom of darkness works
overtime as we get closer to our breakthroughs. Satan and
His generals know that if he can get us
to lose our focus, we will not be in position when the fullness of
time comes and we will miss the blessing. We must know without a
doubt that God is faithful and never fails. We must be certain that
even if God is not talking, He’s still listening.
For it is written:
But verily God hath heard me; he hath
attended to the voice of my prayer.
