"dry"

we all walk in deserts from time to time
some call it being "dry" spiritually
when God seems far away
when our prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling
the Saints often write about these times as the best of times
the times we mature
when we live by faith and not by sight
when we feel as if we are "going through the motions"
it's a rough time
doubts assail us
anxiety rises to crazy levels
we feel like shouting,
"My God my God, why have you abandoned me!?"
isn't it the greatest act of Mercy to know without debate
that our God knows intimately what we go through down here?
our great High Priest knows
in this we can rest and find strength to keep moving,
even when we don't feel like it..
