I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him. Ravi Zacharias
About This Quote

God is with us every day, every moment of our lives. It is just that we don’t always recognize that he is there. We may not call on him at the moment we need him, but he is always there and always ready to help us.
