Some times God takes us to the wilderness of life, strips us of every help so that we can acknowledge Him and give Him His position in our hearts. The wilderness is a place of temptation but it is also a place we can utilize the opportunity of being alone with God by strengthening our relationship with God.
This is a hard truth but it remains the truth. There are times that God closes the Heaven as a means of disciplinary measures. Experiencing a closed Heaven could be in form of God keeping silence, closing Heaven against your prayers, living away from the dew of Heaven, etc. If you are experiencing a closed Heaven diagnose the cause and settle it with God.
The love of God makes God to discipline His Children when they go astray. The purpose of chastising us is to correct us and make us turn to Him. Instead of being discouraged when we face chastisement, let’s reciprocate this act of love by making use of God’s grace and mercy by turning back to Him.
God’s Grace is the good will, loving-kindness, favour, merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.
