shouldn't it be foreign to our emtions and contrary to our new nature in christ.

Be more specific.
What ever you are lacking the bible says
Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
If you need a friend be one. If you need help give it.
Gal. 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
If you don't sow it you won't reap it. I think this web site will be useful for you www.creflodollarministries.org. This pastor and his wife teaches useful things from God's word along these lines. He's real and I think he will help a lot.

That feeling is going to happen to anybody, Christian or not. It is in this time that faith truly exists. It is easy to believe when you can feel God with you and you are on that "spiritual high." It is harder when the insecurity hardwired into the human nature takes hold and we feel as though we are as far away from Christ as possible. Faith is defined as believing without seeing or knowing. When you have that spiritual feeling, you know God is there. When you feel separated or that God is no longer there, then faith takes hold. This feeling is natural for any Christian for without this feeling, there would be no faith and "nobody is saved but through faith." Just my two cents.

I can tell you that I have experienced such a thing, and no, it is not contrary to our new nature in Christ. It may occur because there IS a barrier (of sin, for instance) between God and us. Just remember, it's not about the feeling, it's about what you DO for God. Love Him with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength. Just do as God wills - and read your Bible, for it is the Word of God, which is man's daily bread.

No, not really because we believe in Christ, but that does not take away our humanity in any degree. We still have the same emotions, same feelings, same thoughts, etc. It is what we do with them all that makes the difference.

Believers, of any faith, are human. As a polytheist, I have other gods I can turn to when I feel like something is missing. Maybe you have enough Jesus in your life and need more God? Or that 'Holy Ghost' fellow. Maybe another one of the Trinity is trying to talk to you?
