In the dark night of the soul, it's easy to think that we are alone, that no one hears our cry, that no one sees us suffer. We wonder if God has forgotten us.
But like Jonah sailing off in the wrong direction or Naomi in her suffering, God doesn't forget about us, even when we think God might. God sees us when we weep, when life is broken, and God hears our cries.
When the church is at its best, the church reaches out to those who are suffering, and reminds them of this. Who can you reach out to today and let them know that you hear their cries?
