There seems to be times in living for God where He seems to be no where to be found.
Job understood this:
I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden. I look to the south, but he is concealed.
Job 23:8-9 NLT

As I listened to Insight for Living this morning Chuck Swindoll made a point about the book of Esther I have never thought of before. He said that God is never mentioned in the book of Esther. However, you can see God's hand and plan working to protect and take care of His people.
God is always right there with you no matter what we are facing:
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Acts 17:24-28 KJV

So, if you are facing something that seems impossible, God is right there with you though you may not see Him.
Lord, thank you for being ever present even though I don't see or feel you. I know you and know that I am your child and you live me. I love you Jesus.
