Part 2: Top 25 Forum Q&A (The Believer’s Struggle)

 

I have synthesized the most common and deep questions from r/Christianity, ChristianForums, and GotQuestions regarding the presence of God.

1. Q: If God is with me, why do I feel so lonely? A: Feelings are not facts. The Bible promises His presence (Heb 13:5), not necessarily the feeling of it. Loneliness is often an invitation to seek Him deeper, rather than proof of His absence.

2. Q: Does sin cause God to leave me? A: Sin grieves the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:30) and disrupts fellowship, but it does not break the relationship or covenant for a believer. He promised “I will never leave you.” Repentance restores the sense of intimacy.

3. Q: What is the difference between Omnipresence and Manifest Presence? A: Omnipresence means God is everywhere (even in the dark). Manifest Presence is when He reveals Himself to you specifically (like in worship or prayer). We walk by faith in His omnipresence, while seeking His manifest presence.

4. Q: How do I practice the “Presence of God” at work? A: Brother Lawrence taught this. It means keeping a running internal conversation with God while doing menial tasks. “Lord, help me with this email,” or “Thank you for this coffee.”

5. Q: Is God with me even when I am depressed? A: Yes. Psalm 34:18 says He is “near to the brokenhearted.” He is often closer in our pain than in our joy, even if the “fog” of depression makes it hard to see Him.

6. Q: Why did Jesus say “My God, why have you forsaken me?” A: Jesus took our sin and experienced the separation we deserved, so that we could be given the promise “I will never leave you.” He was forsaken so we wouldn’t be.

7. Q: Can the devil fake God’s presence? A: The enemy can mimic spiritual experiences, but God’s presence brings the “Fruit of the Spirit” (Peace, Love, Self-control). If a “presence” brings fear, chaos, or pride, it is not God.

8. Q: How do I know God is with me in decision making? A: Look for the “Peace of God” (Phil 4:7) that acts as an umpire in your heart. If you lose your peace, check if you are stepping out of His will.

9. Q: Does “I am with you” apply to unbelievers? A: God is omnipresent for everyone, but the covenant promise of “I am with you to save and keep” is for those who are in Christ (reconciled to Him).

10. Q: I am going through a divorce. Is God still with me? A: Absolutely. He calls Himself the “husband to the widow” (and by extension, the abandoned). He is the one relationship that cannot be broken by human courts.

11. Q: What does “Immanuel” practically mean for my Tuesday? A: It means you don’t have to summon God down from heaven. He is already in the room. You don’t pray to connect; you pray to acknowledge the connection that already exists.

12. Q: Can I lose the Holy Spirit? A: In the Old Testament, the Spirit came and went (like with Saul). In the New Testament, we are “sealed” with the Spirit (Eph 1:13). He abides forever.

13. Q: How do I teach my child that God is with them? A: Use the “Invisible String” or “Invisible Friend” concept. When they are scared at school, tell them to squeeze their hand and remember God is holding it.

14. Q: Is God with me in my nightmares? A: Yes. David said, “When I awake, I am still with you” (Ps 139:18). Praying Psalm 91 before bed invites His manifest protection over your sleep.

15. Q: Why do I feel God more in nature? A: Creation declares His glory (Ps 19:1). There is less static noise in nature, making it easier to tune into the presence that is always there.

16. Q: What is the “Dark Night of the Soul”? A: A term by St. John of the Cross describing a season where God withdraws spiritual feelings to purge us of relying on emotions, teaching us to love Him for who He is, not what He makes us feel.

17. Q: Does God leave when I am angry at Him? A: No. Job was angry and questioned God, yet God remained with him and answered him. He is big enough to handle your emotions.

18. Q: How can I feel Him more? A: Worship. Psalm 22:3 says God “inhabits the praises of His people.” Worship builds a throne for Him to manifest in your room.

19. Q: Is God with me when I fail a test or lose a job? A: Yes. His presence is not a reward for success; it is the sustenance for survival. See Joseph in prison—”But the Lord was with Joseph” (Gen 39:21).

20. Q: What if I don’t hear His voice? A: His primary voice is the Bible. If you want to hear Him loud, read it aloud. His presence is bound to His Word.

21. Q: Does “Where two or three are gathered” mean He isn’t with me when I’m alone? A: No. He dwells in the individual believer (1 Cor 6:19). But there is a unique corporate anointing when believers gather in unity.

22. Q: How do I pray for someone else to feel God’s presence? A: Pray Elisha’s prayer: “Lord, open his eyes that he may see” (2 Kings 6:17). The reality is there; they just need spiritual sight.

23. Q: Is God with me in the hospital? A: Psalm 41 says the Lord sustains them on their sickbed. He is the Great Physician, present at the bedside.

24. Q: Can I run away from God? A: Jonah tried. You can run from His will, but you cannot run from His presence.

25. Q: How does the Eucharist/Communion relate to His presence? A: It is the table of memory and encounter. We proclaim His death until He comes, experiencing His spiritual presence in the elements.

Part 3: 15 Actionable Tips for Daily Application

 

At Work & Career

 

1. The “Empty Chair” Technique: Visualize an empty chair in your office or cubicle as occupied by Jesus. Consult Him before sending that stressful email.

2. The Commute Sanctuary: Turn your car into a sanctuary. Turn off the radio and say, “Lord, I invite you into this traffic.” Arrive at work filled, not drained.

3. Conflict Buffer: When a boss or client is shouting, imagine Jesus standing between you and them, acting as a shield. It keeps you calm.

4. Integrity Check: Remind yourself, “God is in this room.” It helps you work with excellence even when no human boss is watching.

In Studies (School/University)

 

5. Exam Prayer: Before flipping over the test paper, whisper: “Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance what I have studied. You are the Spirit of Truth.”

6. Walking Campus: As you walk between classes, treat it as a prayer walk. “Lord, be with me in Biology. Be with me in the cafeteria.”

7. Overcoming Isolation: If you feel like the only believer in your dorm, read Daniel 3. The “Fourth Man in the Fire” appears when you stand alone for truth.

Social Life & Relationships

 

8. Social Anxiety: Before entering a party, recite Joshua 1:9. You are not entering a room full of strangers alone; you are entering with the King.

9. The Listener: God is a listener. Practice His presence by being a good listener to friends. “Be quick to hear” (James 1:19).

10. Dating: Ask yourself on a date: “Is this person’s presence compatible with God’s presence in my life? Do they push me toward Him or away?”

Family & Home

 

11. The “God is Here” Candle: Light a specific candle at dinner time to symbolize the presence of the Holy Spirit with the family.

12. Night Terrors: If a child is scared, pray with them: “Jesus, please show [Name] that You are standing guard by their bed tonight.”

13. Spousal Unity: When arguing, stop and say, “We are forgetting that God is here.” It de-escalates pride immediately.

14. Blessing: When loved ones leave the house, bless them with “The Lord be with you.” It’s a powerful ancient dismissal.

15. Household Chores: Practice “Kitchen Worship.” Wash dishes as an act of service to the Lord who sees in secret.
