"How Long?" -Have you ever been a spiritually dark place in your life and you asked the Lord, "How long will you leave me here?" There is nothing that can shake us like feeling as though God has abandoned us in our troubles. Aren't you grateful that even though the Lord allows us to face and endure trying situations that His presence is still with us? However, there may be times that the Lord might allow us to be tried longer than our faith is willing to carry us. For those times, we have to know in our hearts that God is faithful and He will never leave us or forsake us.
