Instead of asking, "Where is God?" during times of trouble, we could ask, "What does trusting God look like?"

Perhaps we could even ask ourselves if we have continued to serve, worship, and praise God in our hardships. That is a more helpful question. There are times we feel that God is far away and that we are alone in our struggle. But we are not alone and we are not forgotten.  Isaiah 49:15 reminds us that even a woman can forget her nursing child, yet God will not forget His children. Let's resolve to believe Him and trust Him no matter what!
