Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between
righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is there between light and darkness?
This was how Niles answered her: "Not only now but even in the future, there will always be
times when God seems distant; when it looks as if God has forgotten and does not care; when
prayers go unanswered and life is difficult. And at such times you must learn to hold on to
your fellow Christians. Your difficulty is that you tried to hold on to God alone, and man was
never intended to hold on to God alone." We all need Christian fellowship and support.
(2 Corinthians 6.14
NRSV)
D. T. Niles told of a member of his congregation whom he met on the street one day. She had
been active once but in recent months drifted away. She told Niles that after suffering
numerous personal and family problems God had become distant to her. She felt she had lost
contact with him.
God of presence, through your people I will find the support I need to overcome my hurt.
Amen.
