Reflection Moment 1

Take some time to take off the self-protective mask you've been wearing with God.

Ask God to give you courage to help you be honest with yourself and Him tonight.

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.” And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Matthew 27:45-50

Where are you feeling (or have felt) forsaken by God?

Be honest with Him about why you're feelings are the way they are.
