If Ken is saying that you should simply believe God exists, despite
the contrary evidence, then sorry and all that, but no can do.

The evidence, so far as I can understand from what you have written, is
that at one point you had a big emotional experience which later on
faded.

The evidence was that I believed God would heal my eyes, and I went up
to the front in a healing service and believed by faith that it would
happen. It didn't and God appeared to disapear from my life
completely.

I fully accept that maybe God didn't disapear from my life that night
and I just felt that he had. In which case God knew that situation
and that all I needed was a touch or word that he was there.

I am deadly serious when I say that it was all I needed. A
reassurance from Him that he was there.

You demanded that God restore the big emotions and He didn't, so
obviously He doesn't exist.

By that reasoning my wife doesn't exist either.

Have you spoke to your wife recently? Did she respond? Has she told
you that she loves you, or at least indicated that she does?

"Hello darling im feeling a bit down today and a bit uncertain about
our relationship. we are ok arent we?

"Of course we are darling, don't be silly. come here and give me a
cuddle"

Heavely Father, im very lost at the moment. I want to serve you and
do your will but it all seems to be in my head. I know this is a two
way relationship, please reassure me that you love me, as your word
says you do, as I am very spiritually dry. In Jesus name Amen

That prayer or similar to it, was asked nine months ago. I am still
waiting for a reply.

Perhaps you think that would be acceptable from your wife?
