What should we do when we feel distanced from God?

Feeling distanced from God is a common experience, especially when one's heart feels overwhelmed. Psalm 61 serves as a model for responding to such feelings; David acknowledges his state of distress and earnestly seeks God's help, saying, 'Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.' This cry signifies not only a lament of one's condition but also a profound trust in God's ability to restore and guide. In moments of distance, believers are encouraged to humble themselves in prayer, seek God's face, and request that He lead them back to Him. The earnestness of David’s prayer highlights that even in our darkest moments, God is our refuge who desires to bring us back into fellowship with Him.
