In this stillness, God exposes our desire for self-sufficiency and reminds us that His love for us is based on who we are and not what we do.
Venting is a poor substitute for prayer.
We are a people saturated with analysis, explanations, and facts but devoid of wonder. Maybe it’s time we rediscovered the wonder of God. All it takes is a renewed awareness of His presence.
Without our sufferings, we would never appreciate God’s great rescues. We would never really learn to trust Him instead of ourselves. So while suffering hurts, it’s not meaningless.
