I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.

"Has Christianity Failed You?"
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.

I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has

There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.

"The French Lieutenant's Woman"
There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.
-Blaise Pascal
Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.”
A person once asked me in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: “Tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?” We must always consider the person.
God Himself told me that the most basic and central truth of the universe is that God is the Father and we are His children. We are all created as children of God.
