All in Abandoned
Are you wandering in your faith, or worse than that are you lost in it? Do you want to go home, but not how to get there? Sometimes we become lost for no reason of our own, we think we know where we are until suddenly we realize that we are lost. At other times it is because we didn’t follow directions, but occasionally we are intentionally led away and left to our own devices. All of this can happen to us in our journey of faith, but Jesus, and our Holy Father come to find us.
Have you ever felt alone in your faith? Have you cried out to God, and not heard so much as an echo in return? Has the silence of God overwhelmed you to the point where you asked yourself if you had been abandoned? Are you in that place now? If this is you, and you are surrounded by silence, or loneliness, take heart, because God never deserts us.
Are you filled with sadness and depression today? In particular, is there a void within you because of a feeling of separation from God? There is no loneliness greater than to be in a place without God’s presence, but if that is your feeling today then take heart, and call on the name of Jesus because He too walked through the valley of the shadow of death... just as you are now doing.
