"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Mark 15:34 The absence of God is good news, because it shows us, he wants an authentic, intimate relationship that grows and develops with us. It has been said in different ways but if we could call him to us, force him to meet us when and where we want, simply because we chose the moment, two things would be obvious. First of all, he wouldn't be God, and second, there would be no relationship. We can only do that with an image, with our imagination, and with the idols we put in front of us instead of God. …. but certainly not with true God. A relationship can only begin and develop in mutual freedom. The living God knows the truth of this.

And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 16—20

Be still!" Then the winds ceased and there was dead calm. He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" Mark 4:37—41
