I read recently:
When you can’t find the reason, trust the relationship. God won’t fail you. Contrary to what you may think, darkness isn’t always the work of the enemy. Sometimes it’s one of God’s best teaching tools. ‘About the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea…And when they saw Him…they were greatly amazed…beyond measure, and marvelled’ (Mark 6:48-51 NKJV). You get to know the Lord by going through storms with Him. The psalmist said, ‘the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.’ (Psalm 139:12 NRSV). So instead of running from your problems, ask God to develop your night vision, to show you ‘the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places’ (NRSV).
“We need to look resolutely away from the impossibilities and to the Lord. His help will come …” (Isabel Kuhn)
It is better to walk through a valley with God than stand on a mountaintop alone.
