"Ricky looked up as Lily made her way out of the little park and toward him. She smiled as she approached, but it was obvious she’d been crying.
He nodded. “You okay, sweetie?”
She shrugged. “Do you ever feel like God’s not listening?”
He smiled. “Sure. Everyone feels that way sometimes. I wonder if He’s busy and just doesn’t have time for me and my little life. But that’s the enemy talking. Don’t listen to him.”
“Okay, then why won’t He speak to me?” Lily asked.
“Sometimes our Father is quiet while He gives us time to think things through, to contemplate every side of a problem. Don’t lose faith or get angry with Him for doing what He best knows how to do, which is to teach us and hone us and make us strong. Trust Him. There have been so many times that I questioned Him, and finally, when everything was over, I could see His wisdom in allowing things to unfold exactly as they did. He’s really smart. Trust Him.”"
