Driving up to Kevin’s house I prayed, “God, I just need the presence of a friend tonight.”
Kevin and I had been friends since our freshman year of college and for nearly 20 years now we’ve been seeing one another through the ebb and flow of life’s joy and despair.
On this particular night Kevin and I both needed mutual encouragement. Both of us were uniquely wrestling through struggles and the seeming experience of God’s absence.
Our chorus of bitching and moaning lasted for about an hour before we exhausted all words and eventually just sat together with the silence. It wasn’t long before a fresh recognition began to wash over both of us.
We were not alone.
