Consider Ezekiel 8:12 "Have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, 'The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'" What did a limited view of God's presence lead to here? Do you see this in your life and if so, where?

4. What tends to bring about this doubting of God's presence in your life? More thoughts...

King David prays, "Do not cast me from your presence, "after being confronted about sin in Psalm 51. However, the disciples require Christ's reminder that He is with them until the end of time most when they are challenged with the Great Commission in Matthew 2:18-20.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 says, "Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us competent." How does this verse confront that desire?
