The instinct to ask “why” runs deep and seems to have an energy all its own. - But tidy answers to life’s painful questions are few and far between, and even when we do get them they rarely bring the relief or healing we hoped they would. - I think of Job sitting in the wreckage of his life wrestling with his friends over the question of why it all happened, trying to make sense of it. When God shows up, he says plenty but never offers answers to their questions. Instead, He offers Himself. - At the end of the story, Job says, “my ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you…” And that seems to have been enough. - God’s presence so often quiets our questions, which must mean that this is what we desire most—more than an answer, more than reasons, we want to know and feel that God is present with us. - I am tempted to put my hope in answers, but in and of themselves they don’t satisfy my deepest need the way the sense of God being intimately here with me does. The place where God meets with me is where healing happens. - “Remind Me You’re Here” explores the wrestling, the questions, and the abandoning of my need for answers in favor of the assurance that, whether an answer comes or not, God is with me. Lyrics: None of my pain has ever caught you by surprise Still it’s hard to trust You when I’m lost in the wondering why But I’ll trade every question just to lay down and rest in Your heart And I’ll reach for Your hand though you led me here into the dark I won’t ask you for reasons ‘Cause a reason can’t wipe away tears No I don’t need all the answers Just be here beside me Father remind me you’re here If it’s random or providence, neither are a comfort to me Are you cruel if you planned it, or weak if you allowed it to be? Half of me is still believin’, the other is half is angry and confused But all of me is desperate and longing to be held by you Get me out of my mind and into Your arms Where hope comes alive and fear falls apart I just need to know that You’re here
