No matter how much I cry out to God

in the midst of extreme pain ...

 

 

When God cast Job into the mire, Job became like dust and ashes.

He cried out to God, but the Lord did not answer him.

At that time, Job stood before God,

but felt that God had no interest in him and only looked at him

(Job 30:19-20).

In the midst of severe pain, even if we cry out to God,

His response to our prayers may not meet our expectations.

When it seems like God is silent and indifferent towards us,

we may feel like Job did, thinking that God is just observing us without any concern.

What should we do in such times?

Can we still praise God through hymns like "We Will Set Our Eyes on You"?

"...  Oh Lord, we know You’re watching us With Your eyes of everlasting love

O Lord, we know You hear our prayers With Your ears of unfailing love

You shed a light to the darkest path And You answer every prayer, big or small

No matter when it is or where we stand We will set our eyes on You."
