When catastrophe strikes, we cant help asking, why did this happen? The question keeps us awake at night and relentlessly follows us through our day.
-
Maybe we hope that if we could only find the answer to why something happened we could restore order again by making sense out of the senseless disorder of our pain. The instinct to ask why runs deep and seems to have an energy all its own.
-
But tidy answers to lifes 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.
-
Gods presence so often quiets our questions, which must mean that this is what we desire mostmore 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 dont 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 Youre 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 its hard to trust You when Im lost in the wondering why
But Ill trade every question just to lay down and rest in Your heart
And Ill reach for Your hand though you led me here into the dark
I wont ask you for reasons
Cause a reason cant wipe away tears
No I dont need all the answers
Just be here beside me
Father remind me youre here
If its 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
