God is Always Near: What to do When You Can’t Feel His Presence with Monika Kirkland

There are times in our lives, probably more than we wish to admit where God doesn't feel as close as he once did. We look around and wonder what off ramp we exited on, because he feels like he's no where in sight. It can be hard to know what to do when you can't feel God's presence. I have been there and it's an incredibly hard place to be. 

My wonderful friend Monika has been there too. That's why she wrote her debut book on the topic! God is ever with us and she wants us to be able to remember that in our every day lives. Monika Kirkland is a Christian writer, podcaster, wife and mother of four. She is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to cultivate intimacy with Christ and experience the transformative power of the gospel from the inside out. 

Conversation Highlights:

• The rest we are longing for isn’t found in a quick fix, it’s only found in Christ alone
• We can’t always get rid of the things that cause us stress but we can invite God into it and learn how to live from a place of rest
• It’s common to just go through the motions of our faith
• The majority of our faith is lived out in the in-between times, not just at church or Bible study, but what we consider the mundane daily activities we do
• We will miss out on the joy that comes with walking in intimacy with Christ if we don’t recognize his closeness
• Prayer is one of the most accessible yet underutilized parts our faith
• Sometimes we wait until we get to our breaking point to cry out to God, we don’t have to wait - he’s already there with us
• God cares about the little things in your life, and he deeply cares about you
• The in between small moments in life is where your faith truly grows
• Remember the truth that God is right there with you
