Where Are You God?

In times of confusion, hardship, hurt, and suffering we tend to cry out to God more frequently than when everything is going fine. We seek Him, wonder if He is there, wonder if He cares for us, and pound on the gates of Heaven with our fists and our tears. Does He even have a plan for us? Does He even want us to be happy?

It is these times God is using our pain to draw us closer to Him; to make us rely more on Him. Everything has a reason and God has a plan for our lives. Remember, almost all of the best loved saints have stories about their own spiritual darkness that would bring us to our knees.

Today, I came across a beautiful post regarding one woman's struggles to find God in her own darkness. Although I would love to comment on it more, I think the story speaks for itself. Although Simone was dealing with fighting an illness, this story of faith applies to each of our struggles just the same. I encourage you to to take two minutes and read. Make sure you read to the bottom where we see Simone's answers to her own questions. May God's perpetual light shine upon her and may God get us through our own struggles, our own periods of darkness and uncertainty, as we try to seek out His will. Let us turn to the Cross and grow in Holiness and Love.
