Sometimes, my dark nights come from outside me - I'm faced with a life challenge that I fear desperately, and it is hard to believe that God is in the midst of the darkness. Other times, my dark night may be because I have been sailing along for too long on my own steam and failed to maintain communication so my soul atrophies - then it takes exercise to rebuild those spiritual muscles. Sometimes, as you have so well described, I am angry at God (Why must life be so hard or unfair?) or rebellious (I have enough on my plate already - why should I do more/ I don't want to go there!). Sometimes when my analytical side kicks in, I simply doubt - I wonder if God is really there or just a wish; then I feel like I am talking to thin air and I wonder if I am misleading others who think I have faith. For me, some of the best lights in my darkness are others, including this wonderful blog. Sometimes I can see the stars through your eyes. It is so comforting to know that others share these times.
