Jesus always knew why he had been born and for what purpose his Father had sent him (John 12:27; 18:37). But when he hung on the cross and his emotions were overcome by the pain and grief he cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mathew 27:46).
Our heavenly Father does not always lead us down an easy road. Sometimes his will is fraught with what we don’t understand. When our emotions tell us God is nowhere in sight, he is still with us. He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Jesus suffered the anger of God against sin, so that we never have to suffer the absence of his presence (Mt 28:20). Either here, or eternally, we will understand why we have had to experience our disappointments. Then we will rejoice greatly at what he accomplished through the emotionally painful times.
While you are waiting for his deliverance, trust him.
