The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?—Psalm 13:1 (NIV)
When you are feeling weary and burdened about a challenge in your life, it’s okay to question God, like Daniel did, and ask, “How long?” Bring your struggles and doubts to Him in prayer—and hopefully, like David your questions will be transformed into praise.
Heavenly Father, help me to see that You are always with me. In my darkest hours fill me with Your light.
