"God's voice can so easily be muted by our hurt, out self-hatred or our crazy pre-conceptions about who He really is, how He speaks and what we think He will say. But when we come to God repeatedly with some deep need - perhaps for healing, or to find a partner, or for a friend who's turned their back on Jesus - His eyes are not angry, bored or cold, assessing the merits of our request and the technique of our prayer. Whenever we come to God with an open wound of longing, we come to Abba Father who loves us deeply. 'Cast all your anxiety on him,' says the apostle Peter, 'because he cares for you.'"
