When I was a kid we sang this church about continuing to reach out to God, cry out to Him even when it feels like you're in complete darkness and He's nowhere to be found, you still cry out knowing that God will get you through. That's what faith is. I don't remember the exact words but I do remember the story behind the song. A guy in our church wrote it after his daughter died.
It was one of my favorite songs as a kid and even now though I've forgotten the words the message remains.
When you're walking in the darkness just keep walking forward. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, keep reading your Bible even though you feel like you're not learning anything, keep praying even when you feel like He's not listening and keep going to church even when you feel like there's no point.
God will bring you out of this season of darkness and when He does you'll probably see that there were things you absorbed and learned in that time of darkness that you didn't even realize.
I don't know what's brought you to a time of darkness in your spiritual life. Maybe it's circumstances or people or something medical like depression. Whatever it is I hope this encourages you today.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
You may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now but God can. Hang in there, cling to Him, He'll see you through. This is the time that the rubber meets the road and your faith gets tested.
