Do you think God misses us when we do not talk with Him?

October 13, 2025

Do you think God misses us when we do not talk with Him? This has been a common theological concept, often viewed through the understanding of a loving relationship between a parent and a child. Many faiths suggest that God misses those who stray or become lost. Because we view God through our understanding, our wants, and our life. We miss those loved ones we do not get to see that often. We want to make sure that they are OK. Thus, we impose this belief onto God. Because we are human. The Bible tells us in Luke 15:3-6, “Then Jesus told them this parable, “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and goes after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me, I have found my lost sheep.” God loves us. God wants what is best for us. God cares about each and everyone of us and longs for us to want to spend time with Him. God knows our heart. He knows our wants and desires. God knows when we stray from Him. The question that we need to ask ourselves, “Is God important to us?” or do we have more important things to do in this life than spend time alone with our Lord. See in this world we do get lost. We do stray from God. So, remember this when you stray, when you get lost, when you forget about God—God is still watching over you—always. It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
