God, there are times that we come to you when we feel at peace and see your world in wonder. But there also times that we come to you in agony and despair, times when we see hurt and pain in our own lives and in your world.
Sometimes the suffering that we see seems so endless and insurmountable. At times like this, we ask, as even Jesus did, “Where are you God?!?” And like Jesus, we believe that you are there to be lamented to, even if we don't understand why you sometimes feel so distant.So before the mystery of both your presence and your seeming absence, we wait for you. Help us to seek you where you can be found.
