“Where are you God?  How come you’re not answering me God?  Why are leaving me like this God?  I just can’t take it any more!” 

We’ve all been there and if we’re honest, the majority of our experience in prayer centers around God’s absence more than His Presence.  Yes there are times when we’re overwhelmed by God’s Presence and feel that we’re standing before the Almighty Himself; but if you’ve ever tried to pray consistently and regularly, you know that those times are the exception, not the rule.

In fact, if you’re like most people (including myself), more often than not you’ll finish your time in prayer and not feel anything spectacular or earth-shattering at all.  You’ll wonder if your prayer even went beyond the ceiling. 

You know for sure you were talking, but was anyone up there even listening?  It’s not just me, is it?
