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)

Go Ahead and Yell
Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?—Psalm 10:1 (NIV)
The Book of Psalms shows us that God doesn’t mind when we pray with frustration. He may not answer as we would like, but He wants us to come to Him with honest emotion. Sometimes the act of voicing our fears brings us closer to Him and understanding His will.
Dear Lord, I know You say You will never give me more than I can bear, but I want You to know, I’m not always thrilled that You think so much of me that You give me such a heavy load to carry.
