My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me

…Even though you do not see me, I am not only spiritually but really and truly present. And I will give you sure signs of this presence of mine.

Blue Book #43 b

There is a story of a boy in a burning house. His father is outside, calling to him, “Jump! Jump!” The child cries, “Daddy, I can’t see you!” “That’s okay,” the father says, “I can see you.”

Grace in Every Season (March 2)

Sometimes it’s difficult to trust when the calamities seem to come one after the other, and especially if you’ve been traveling the path of faith for a long time and have experienced the sweetness and now for a short while have to endure walking by faith alone. It’s hard! You cry out in anguish like Jesus, ‘my God, my God, why have You forsaken me’. And for a while no answers come… but then you get a sweet reminder that He’s still there, helping you through it all. Just stay the course and keep in mind that the intended goal of every cross is the resurrection.
