It’s the hard things in life that sometimes may make us question why it seems so difficult to feel God’s presence. In times of a discordant marriage, disease, mental illness, financial struggles, world turmoil, we may feel far from God. How can we break out of this feeling?
The first need is to establish a clearer understanding of God and our spiritual oneness with Him. Christian Science teaches that God made all that was made, spiritual, and it was good. This includes us in our true selfhood as man (male and female), made in the image and likeness of God as taught in Genesis 1:26, 27.
Man is forever one with God, inseparable from Him. Understanding this helps us realize that the foundation of our lives is God, good. Our true oneness, or unity, with God, is what enables us to hear God’s voice, to follow His directions, and to be guided, as we turn to Him in quiet, prayerful listening.
