How Can I Miss you When You Haven't Gone Away?

I am going to get in trouble here. What I SHOULD be doing is working on one of two papers, both due by Thursday morning. At the time of this writing, it is Tuesday evening. Well, like everyone says, I work best under pressure.
What is on my mind tonight is something that has been on my mind since Sunday morning, when my wife and I were listening to Beth Moore on CD on the way to church. I have realized that if you don't go with these urgings, it is hard to reclaim them once they're gone, you miss a blessing, and others that need the message placed in you suffer. So here it goes: I don't remember exactly why she was saying this, but she brought up Colossians 1:27 (NASB)- "to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." She was talking about the Holy Spirit being the Spirit of Christ, and how when we accept Christ, that Spirit instantly comes in to us. Now Pentecostals, AoG people, let's not get theological here. Let's just go on for this premise: we are filled with the Spirit of Christ.
How then do we ask where is God in a situation? How do we ask why it seems that God is not there? We say we believe in an omnipresent, omnipotent God, and say he is absent. Folks, if you are a saved, committed follower of Christ, and you don't know where He is in the situation you are facing, may I ask you to look in? Then, may I ask you to look around. Re-read Psalm 139: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?" (Psalm 139:7, NASB) For the follower of Christ, you that have His Spirit living in you, you bring Him with you into your situation. Do not ask where He is. Ask Him where this is taking you!
The biggest problem is that we do not talk to God enough in the everyday, and hear His voice in the mundane, to know what He sounds like in the times of urgency. When trouble comes our way, we do not know where to turn but to Him. He guides us through, we say "Whew! That was close!" Maybe we thank Him, and we go on. I'm guilty, too. I do not always recognize Him in the everyday. But we all need to know that He is there. He is with us. We do not need to ask Him where He is. We just need to recognize Him.
