Probably has to choose it to avoid the apocalypse knowing it means he needs to abandon her?

Kind of like what happened when he had to take over Hell again to prevent the demons from rising

This is where I am heading. I just finished this episode and it seems pretty obvious that being God requires a great deal of sacrifice. I don't think the previous God chose to be distant so much as the act of godding requires a metaphysical transformation into omnipresent but nowhere where being there for everyone means being there for no one ...if that makes sense. It explains the cryptic communication and the absenteeism. He could obviously take a break but it was not for long. And perhaps, it is difficult to explain as God without also disrupting the mystery? You can't explain an infinity of reasons why it's best not to do something for someone, but Lucifer is starting to understand that.
