I believe

Wherever we are, wherever we go, we are always in God's hands. This is a comforting thought. Nothing could harm us. No one can separate us from God.
We may suffer momentary experiences of God's seeming absence, when we feel that things don't go as we expect, or when situations are not good according to our criteria; but that doesn't mean that God is absent. I think it just means that we must go back to the center and re-focus.
The farther we go away from God, the softer His voice becomes; but that doesn't mean God is absent.
And when we can finally say it, even with soft and trembling lips, "Lord, I believe", it is God who put that faith in our hearts.
