"The problem you are facing right now - the one that has you overwhelmed - has it left you feeling barren and empty? Maybe you are thinking, I don't feel God's presence. I don't know what's going on in my life, and I feel rejected by everyone I know. Truly, God must hate me. But think again. Although those are common human emotional responses to suffering, could it be that God has put you in this place so that you would look to the Lord alone for your sustenance and provision? Maybe the Lord wishes to show you that He's bigger than your family; bigger than your rejecting friends; and bigger than the pit, the barrenness and the loneliness that surround you."
