A Few Miles From the Sun

Sometimes I feel lightyears away from God. Like He is nowhere near--a distant sun, visible, His existance known, but unreachable. Usually this is when I'm run-down and tired and/or when I've gotten too caught up in "life" to take time for the Bible and prayer. In times like these, it's especially important to "be still and know that I am God." Shut yourself up in a room to yourself or go for a walk--whatever you can to get alone and open yourself to Him again. For it's not that God is near or far--His presence is always with us--but that we've shut Him out. Open your heart and mind to let the God-sun shine in!
