[Olog-hai]

Sounds like the question in the title is in search of a Deus ex machina.

God is within us. If we look outside of ourselves, we will not find Him.

We must look within.

[null and void]

We just re-elected a president whose party voted to reject Him and Israel three times.

I don't know where you expect Him to be, but I do know where I expect Him to not be.

The author sounds like a lot of people when they speculate about God. I don’t have the answers either. I do know one thing. I am grateful for what I have and the people in my life. When I catch myself feeling ungrateful, I remember that it could always be worse. Then I go about the business of making sure it only gets better.

Forget listening to the news, local, national, or heaven forbid international news, there isn’t a moment’s peace in the world if we accept what we are told

At no point in human history has the average person been less likely to die violently than today - this is the most peaceful the world has ever been.

When God seems far away......... Who moved?..

If you prayed for discernment, and then read the Bible, you wouldn’t need to ask that question.

>> MY GOD is a kind of a score keeper..

Not the best sentence in the article.

Good subject regarding the expectations we each have or once had.

[Salamander]

Good answers.

>> I’m wearing my flambé retardant suit!

Good thing, cuz you might get grilled.

[P.O.E.]

God is everywhere, at all times.

It’s just that sometimes (most of the time?) we can’t, or won’t, see Him.

Only through His Grace may we be saved.

Pray for us.

[Jack Hammer]

Possibly the more germane question would be, “Does G-d regret giving the human race freedom of choice...?”

G-d is all around us, all the time; He holds us all in the palms of His hands.

And He weeps for the idiocies we perpetrate on one another and on ourselves.

[lightman]

God might very well be asking,

“Where are my people? Where are those who I called when I entered into this world in their own flesh? Where are those who I redeemed when I carried their sins in that same flesh on the tree of the cross? Where are those on whom I sent my eternal presence in the person of the Holy Spirit? Where are those who I have nourished not only through my words but through my own Body and Blood?”

If God seems absent from the world it is because much of the world has been absent from God.

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”—John 6:29

[ForGod'sSake]

Where’s God? Same place He’s always been; as near as our next breath. But our enlightened and affluent culture has replaced Him with lesser gods more to their liking. IOW, we don’t need Him any more...or so our enlightened leadership would have us believe. I’ve read The Book; it doesn’t end well.
