Do you ever get the feeling that God doesnt really care about you? Do you feel like Hes like a
taskmaster who is only concerned with all of the things you need to accomplish? Does He ever
feel like a distant, impersonal force? And no matter how hard you try connecting with Him, He
still seems so far away?
You certainly arent alone in how you feel. At some point in our relationship with Christ, many
Christians feel alone or begin to doubt that God is a loving God. But heres what you need to
know: Gods attitude toward you is love.
The Bible explicitly tells us that God loves and cares about you deeply.
And even if your emotional connection with Him isnt always there, God is still near.
One of the most touching verses in Scripture that perfectly captures this truth of Gods heart
toward us is found in Zephaniah, which states:
The Lord your God is with you. Hes mighty to deliver.
He takes great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love.
He rejoices over you with singing. (3:17)
So here is the game-changer:
Gods promise is that if we draw near to God
then He will draw near to us (James 4:8).
There is still hope for us
When we simply cannot understand the twists and turns of our path we can run to the One who will anchor us. He doesnt
promise our lives will be free of trouble yet He does promise to hold us close through it all. Never doubt Gods love and care.
He hurts when we hurt. His son, Jesus, went up the agonizing hill to the cross and understands the deep anguish the soul
can plunge to. Thats why we can trust Him to be with us in our times of overwhelming stress.

God continually calls us to come to Him with our burdens and find rest for our souls. (Matthew
11:28 & 29)
He invites us to cast our worries on Him because He cares. (1 Peter 5:7)
He invites us to come to His throne and ask for mercy and grace to help us in our time of need.
(Hebrews 4:16)
He will be our Comforter in sorrow when our heart is faint. (Jeremiah 8:18)
He offers strength when we are weak. (Philippians 4:13)
He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.(Psalm 147:3)
When our minds cannot comprehend the tragic events we find ourselves in our hearts can reach to the God of all
Comfort to find the strength we need to get through today and to know that there will be help and hope for tomorrow.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all
comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the
comfort we ourselves have received from God. (2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4)
