Om dit te hanteer moet ons vashou aan die Woord van God, Sy beloftes en Sy trou. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al voel dit vir my asof die Here afwesig is, God se Woord bevestig Sy omgee en trou, Jes 59:1 &#8220;My arm is nie te kort om te help en My oor is nie te doof om te hoor nie.&#8221; Ons kan maklik die afleiding maak dat daar &#8216;n verband is tussen gunstige omstandighede en die bestaan van die Here. Wanneer alles goed gaan kan ons reken dat God by ons betrokke is, maar wanneer dit sleg gaan, is God ver van ons of Hy hoor nie ons gebede nie. Vir ons wat die Here dien, wat gelowige sondaars is gee dit die vreug-de en nie die vrees dat die God van Hemel ook die God van die aarde is.
