"God will provide," the woman emphatically declared, after I told her (at her request) about my son's need. After all we'd been through, God's faithfulness was a fact I didn't doubt. However, her words felt like a hollow sound bite, not genuine caring.
This wasn't my first encounter with such a response. It's not that I wanted pity, but I do crave a more compassionate and authentic connection with my fellow brothers and sisters. I've met others who do as well. Join me at my new Facebook Group -- Faith in the Midst of Unresolved Prayers, Heartaches and Adversity. Perhaps we can grow together as we live and seek God in the hard places of life.
