Staying Still

"Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God "
(Still --- Hillsong United)

Do you feel so busy that you do not have time for God? Do you feel left alone that you feel hopeless and God is just silent?

This situation happened to me.

One day, I was feeling very lonely and tired. So these thoughts occurred to me: Where are my friends? I do not want to be alone. Please help me anybody! God please help!

But nobody answered, neither God.

So there was I feeling lonely, so gloomy and sad. I tried to contact all my friends, but they were all busy with their own schedules. So there was I, still left alone.

Sigh... What do you want God? Why is this all happening to me?

No answer. Urgh... So there was I, alone.

...

Or was I???

Now that I am reflecting about it, it was very foolish of me to think and act that way. God promises that He would not leave us alone, so who was I to doubt Him? Was it God who left me, or was it I who did not notice His presence and put all the blame to Him?
