God never forsakes us; we forsake Him. We get so caught up in our concerns and anxieties that we sometimes forget to open our eyes and hearts to His presence. We become self-absorbed.
When this happens, we allow ourselves to fall into habits and behaviors that we know are not the best for us. Very quickly other things/people can become our god, and we slip into a of shadow of our true self. This is the place where all the things we want to keep hidden about ourselves exist. Lives and marriages are lost here.
