Faith is not the opposite of reason,
it is in combination with reason.
I know how you feel, God says.
When you go through tough times, when we feel as if we have hit a stone wall, we should remember that scripture says we will go through many trials. But God is with us - He tells us not to be afraid. It will come to an end.
Even as we search through our reason and try to make sense of it. We tear it to pieces in our head, and try to put it back together, but the puzzle pieces do not fit as they once did. Something changed.
We think of all the possibilities. Then push them aside as they sound absurd. What was I thinking? You wonder.
What was God thinking? To love us so deeply, and so fully - knowing that we would turn against Him?
The questions linger like raindrops on a window, falling ever more rapidly.
The darkness is going to linger sometimes, longer than you would like. It may seem like the road goes ever on and on, and the slope looks steep and the fog is heavy-laden and you can barely see the ground at your feet.
Keep your faith through it, even while it seems so dark.
Don't give up because your story is not over. God will never abandon you. The time of abundance is coming.
