Test Your Relationship with God


It is easy to worship God when things are going great in our life—when He has provided food, friends, family, health, and happy situations. But circumstances are not always pleasant. How do we worship God then? What do we do when God seems a million miles away?

The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting Him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, and loving Him when He seems distant.

Friendships are often tested by separation and silence; you are divided by physical distance or you are unable to talk. In our relationship with God, we won’t always feel close to Him. Yet He is worthy to be trusted.

“The Lord has hidden Himself from His people, but I trust Him and place my hope in Him” (Isaiah 8:17 TEV).
