Sometimes it just feels like God isn't present. We may believe whole-heartedly that He exists; we may pray regularly; we may be doing everything right, and then all of a sudden, it feels dark, you feel alone, and you ask yourself "where did God go?" I am kind of feeling like that right now.
From my past experiences, I know that dawn alwasy follows dark, and the sun has always rose after these times of trial, but while we're in it, the night can seem so long.
I am reminded this time around that I need to be encouraging to others, because I have been through this, and I do believe taht God will show His face again. Through times like these, we are taught how to better trust in the Lord and not doubt His saving plan.
So don't give up. We walk through this dark place together. And even when we don't feel Him, Christ is always walking there with us, right beside us, ready to catch us if we should fall.
He told Peter to climb out of a boat onto a sea in the middle of a storm. That's kinda what this feels like. Peter sank. And now I have an opportunity to learn from his mistakes and my own. We just have to have a little faith...
