I can't tell you how many times I've cried out to God during times of pain, confusion or utter hopelessness. Times when I have been at the very bottom of the valley, and finally, out of desperation, cry for God's intervention.

I grew up with the skewed belief that breaking down in front of God was somehow "unholy" - that if I was a good enough Christian, there would be no need for me to cry out to God in desperation. Because people who had a strong faith and prayed a lot had it all together. So I never let myself break. I never cried out to The One I should have been crying out to first.

We don't have to have it all together. We don't have to deal with pain & confusion alone. And we don't have to suffer in silence believing our God doesn't care. More times than not, those low moments, those low points, are the place where God meets us. And He's sitting by waiting for us to call out to Him.
