Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are
convinced they can't admit that, if you're feeling distant from
God, you're not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an
important first step back to the presence of God. The truth is, we
all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels
empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what
we're facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual
routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness
with God that we crave? With transparency and a pastoral heart,
Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and
experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God
sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of
Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is
an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine
distance so we can once again feel closer to God.
Two people can face the same type of adversity and have two vastly
different reactions, even when they have the same background and
worldview. What makes the difference when one person responds with
joy and the other responds with bitterness? Perspective--the way
they think about things. Right thinking matters and, thankfully,
it's something we can all learn to employ. In this insightful
unpacking of Philippians 4:8, pastor Jamie Rasmussen shows readers
how to focus their thoughts and attention on the things in life
that God has declared will make a meaningful impact on both a
person's outlook and experience. It's the kind of thinking that has
the power to change us, pointing us away from self-pity, anger, and
resentment and toward contentment and personal peace, which helps
us get the most out of life. Anyone who yearns to live a life
characterized by joy no matter what the circumstance will benefit
from this thoughtful, practical, and inspiring book.
