Communion or conversation with God breaks down into two questions: How am I doing? What is coming at me? Am I happy, sad, thankful, discouraged, angry, frustrated? What is God saying to me? What does the Word say?

I didn’t know how to approach God anymore. There were too many things to say, too many questions without answers. My depth of pain overshadowed my ability with words. And, more painfully, I couldn’t pray because I wasn’t sure how to trust God.
