Ep. 136 | Posture: Submission

from The Modern Methodist · host Resurrection GMC

Have you ever felt like God was nowhere to be found? You're not alone. Many believers experience seasons where heaven feels silent and God seems distant. Often, this happens during our most painful moments—when we're grieving, afraid, or walking through uncertainty. Jesus understands this feeling intimately. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He experienced such intense anguish that He sweat drops of blood. Even the Son of God felt the crushing weight of emotional and physical pain. Yet in this darkest hour, something remarkable happened—He didn't run from the pain or pretend it wasn't real. The truth is, God isn't absent during our difficult seasons. He's actually present in our grief and sorrow. We feel disconnected because our natural instinct is to pull away from pain, to avoid it or find an escape route. But what if staying present in our pain could actually draw us closer to God? Jesus shows us that acknowledging our struggles doesn't make us weak or faithless. He was honest about His anguish, yet He remained connected to the Father. When we stop running from our pain and instead bring it honestly before God, we often discover He was there all along, waiting to meet us in our deepest need.For more info visit RGMCA.ORG
