MR says: Here is one simple thing that can help those of you struggling with heartbreak better see God in your life today.

One evening, feeling a little worried and overwhelmed, I lay in bed and wondered what was wrong. What was I missing? Not seeing? Not doing?

I asked the midnight darkness above my head: why hadn’t my morning prayers been answered?

Hadn’t I been sincere? Grateful? Faithful?

Discouraged, I did what any child with questions would do.

I asked, “Why?”

“Father, where were you today? What about then? And there? And in that trying moment when I lost my temper? Lost my keys? Lost my words?”
