Prayer: prayer of the forsaken by ric gustafson
If we desire communion with God, we will pray this prayer. Have you tried to pray and felt nothing?. Have you felt like God are you there?. Has it seemed that God was hidden from us?. Sometimes our heart feels like God is gone and we feel nothing. All Christians go through this at one point or another. This feeling can happen at any time. It could be the death of a child or spouse. It could of been a crisis in your marriage or job.
When God is silent, we are silent. We examine ourselves from the inside not the outside. We begin to fear?. Does God love me?. We need faith in God alone. When we feel that way, our soul can become thirsty. We are parched. Our thirst can lead us to prayer.
Even when nothing happens, we need to keep praying. We need to pray, worship and listen for God's voice. Even when there is no answer, we must continue praying. We must wait in silence.
The truth is in God's time and his way, our desert will go away, Then we will be in a land flowing with milk and honey. That is God's promise. We can believe that.
