God is not far from us. He has never been far from us. He is the One who created us and He knows all of us. He has no intention of being far from us. He loves us so much. God is always willing to have us around Him.
It is our sins that separate us from God. Our disobedience to His will and commandments makes us to feel as if we are so far from Him.
Isaiah 59:1-2 (KJV) Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
The Lord is not far from us. His hands are not too short that He cannot save us when problems come. His ears are not too short that He cannot hear our crying. It is our sins that separate us from Him. Why we feel as if God is too far from us sometimes is because of our sins.
John 14:23 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
When we keep the commandments of God, we will have His presence around us. Anyone who keeps God’s commandments, God will love that person and God will come and dwell with such a person.
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
God knows us completely. He has known us before we were born. He knows our name. He knows everything about us. God cannot forget us. He cannot abandon us. He loves us from the beginning.
Psalms 103:14 (KJV) For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
