"[The cause of the deciever] is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do [God's] will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."
-- Screwtape Letters, Letter 8, C.S. Lewis
I submit this quote, and suggest it to your memory. This is not a quote of hope or joy, but of determination. The standard it sets is not one of "what God can do for me" but "how can I continue to serve even when all is silent and unyeilding."
It is important not just to read the quotes that give glory and joy to God, but also that acknowledge the sturggle of human existance... and once acknowledged continues to call towards goodness, even when all seems dark and corrupt.
