"...Invisible and Unmistakable..."

"Has God forgotten me?" 
Vaneetha Rendall Risner, author of the book - The Scars that have Shaped Me- How God meets us in Suffering- encourages us that at times God's care for us is Invisible and Unmistakable:)

"Some days are harder than others. Some mornings I can be cheerful even in the midst of difficult circumstances, and other days those same problems overwhelm me. Some days I wake up full of faith, and other days I doubt if God cares at all....
Part of really living is being willing to face sadness. ....honestly and openly telling God where I am and asking him to show me truth. Letting him, the God of all comfort, comfort me. Letting him, the God of hope, fill me with hope. And letting him, the man of sorrows acquainted with grief,
bear my sorrows for me....
Then I realized that Scripture never mandates that we constantly act upbeat. God wants us to come to him in truth. And so the Bible doesn't whitewash the raw emotions of its writers as they cry out to God in anguish, fear, and frustration when life ceases to make sense.
It was one of those difficult mornings when discouragement was almost suffocating me. I read Psalm 77. I pondered the last line long and hard; "yet your footprints were unseen"
(and still no one can spot Your footprints.)
I need to remember my own stories. 
They are unmistakable evidence of God.
Times when the Lord has helped me....
Remembering the past gave them hope for the future."

Psalm 77:1-2, 9-10, 12, 14, 19 (VOICE)
I cry up to heaven, “My God, True God,”...and He hears... In my darkest days, I seek the Lord. Through the night, my hands are raised up, stretched out, waiting; And though they do not grow tired, my soul is uneasy. Has the True God forgotten how to be gracious? In His anger, has He withdrawn His compassion?” pause “I can’t help but be distraught,” I said, “for the power of the Most High that was once for us is now against us.” I will reflect on all of Your work; indeed, I will study all You have performed. You, God, and Your works evoke wonder. You have proved Your strength to the nations. Your way ran through the sea, Your path cut through great waters, and still no one can spot Your footprints."
