Going to God through pain...

Like most everyone else, there have been dark times in my life when I've felt like God was nowhere to be found. It didn't dawn on me till later on that those times might have been times of depression. Today's Beliefnet piece on praying through depression would have helped a lot during those times. It is a beautiful, beautiful piece that shows the way out of the darkness and towards God without belittling the darkness. Too often people will say, "When you don't feel like praying, pray." The heart behind that is spot on but in those dark times sometimes you simply forget. This piece helps you remember.
