When we believe that God is our partner, that there is no situation without hope, we can co-create new life out of the worst situations.  If we can be clear-eyed about our challenges  – if we can take to heart the signs of the times – and listen for God’s still, small voice calling to us, we can find a way through dark times.  When we believe with all our hearts that God is present, even when hidden from our sight, we can approach our challenges with courage and confidence.  We can make a way where we may have first thought  there was no way.
