Or, on the spiritual side of it, I will have a day of feeling so deeply intimate with the Lord and sensing the presence of the Holy Spirit in an almost physical sense, He's so close. And I'll think: "Wow! This is awesome! I feel so close to the Lord. I feel like I could move mountains today!" Then, the next day will be a day filled with feeling like God is trillions of miles away and doesn't hear a word I pray.
This is why we can't rely on our feelings. Because no matter what I am experiencing, God is still God. He hasn't relinquished His throne, power, or authority to anyone. He is still the same God who gave His only Son to die for me. He is still the same God who promised to never leave or forsake me. He is still love.
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
I Jn. 4: 7-11
So, even though I feel quite a bit like Chicken Little today...I have to admit the sky is not really falling. And God is still in control.

Love this post! I can totally relate to what you are saying!
I am so glad you are sharing! I hope and pray that it helps others know that they are not alone. Love you, thanks for being brave.
Wonderful way of expressing what so many of us have felt. You confirm that we are never alone and that God never, ever leaves us. Our heart may know that fact, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded!
