The Bais Yaakov (the rebbe, not the school) taught that it is natural for a Jew not to feel Kirvas Elokim at all times. In fact it is a necessary part of the miracle of bechira that we sometimes experience that kind of emotional hester panim and our avoda during that time is just as valuable and deserves the same simcha as our avoda when we feel closer. Paradoxically, by doing our avoda b’simcha through the times of hester panim, we come to feel closer.
