How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?How often do we feel like God has ignored us? We're told by many that God will always bless the believer, and if he isn't, it's because we've done something very wrong. We're told that a Christian's life runs smoothly, and any bumps must be our faults. Even Jesus' disciples believed this to be the case, given their reaction to the blind beggar.
How long will You hide Your face from me?
However, this feeling is a lie to discourage us. God will not remove all the bumps from our roads. In fact, He will place some of them there to help improve us. Troubles along the way do not mean we've done something wrong. Jesus himself felt this way on the cross, when he obviously hadn't done anything wrong. Just because we can't see God's face, doesn't mean He's turned it away from us.
