"God is not a deceiver that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us."

                                    -Saint Augustine For Reflection:

Sometimes God is not readily apparent in our need, so we fear that He is not with us and we place no hope in Him. However, the fact may be that we are not looking for Him hidden in the wrappings of our suffering. Dare we look, we will find Him attentive to our need, patiently providing every grace we need. He desires only that we search and find that He is there and His grace is sufficient. Am I willing to do this today?

When the Old Testament wishes to illustrate severe trials, it usually refers to a woman in labor.
