I've been feeling the same way this week, so it's wonderful to read this as a confirmation of what God has already been telling me.

Yesterday my pastor preached about the story of Peter, and especially Luke 22:31-32. He pointed out that we tend to feel distanced from God during trials, often because we blame ourselves for the situation. But even though Peter's denial was entirely his own fault, Jesus was in his corner, interceding for him. The distance we feel is just an illusion created by our own emotions. I'm learning more and more that if I can't hear God speaking to me, it's usually because of my own deafness. And if I can't see Him ahead, guiding me, it's probably because He is at my back, fighting for me (Exodus 14:19-20). To everyone out there who is getting tired of the battle, remember God's promise to Moses, and to anyone who will faithfully follow Him: "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" (Exodus 33:14).
