Moleskin: Discontent
“Discontent is the force that makes us search persistently for an answer to our deepest aspirations. The experience of difficulty invites us to turn to God, seeking a strength beyond our habitual reserves. Once our prayer is answered, we can never quite accept again that reality is limited to our comprehension. The intense experience of help sought and obtained may pass, but a residue remains. We never quite forget the experience of which the Psalmist wrote: “To the Lord in my tribulation I cried out, and he heard me” (Psalm 120:1). The urgency passes, the anguish fades, and the need for God recedes from the foreground of our thoughts. Yet a fragment lodges somewhere.”
