Hi Sara. Thanks for reading and feedback. Such an important question. I hope my next article will help answer it. We are made to experience God in all the dimensions of the Christ event. Suffering/Dying (Good Friday) to Self, the Ordinary of life (Holy Saturday) and resurrection/new life (Easter Sunday). Some, like I mentioned in this article, try to skip straight to Easter Sunday. Others get stuck at Good Friday, and some are stuck at Holy Saturday. I know I am prone to be close to the Lord in times of distress, as I have had so many. I forget him when things are better. In the better times, when I noticed I have not been noticing him, I used those to return my attention to him.
A hard but necessary read, as one still trying to escape and not sit with the sufferings.
A profound and honest message- one we need but don’t want to hear- thank you Jason.
How do I make sense of knowing and being know by God in times of hardship and suffering but disconnected in the ‘good times’ ?

Thank you - a really helpful reply for me to reflect on further
