Sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing...

Sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing. Over the past couple of years, I feel like my life has been surrounded by heartache. I don't think there has been more heartache in the past two years but only then have I been able to see it around me. Divorce, miscarriage, sudden death of friend, death of child, break ups, hunger, war, cancer, etc. The list could go on forever. Its hard to find God in all of these situations. In my anxiety, I try to find words to articulate where God is and isn't. The truth is, I don't know. More often than not, words bring me more anxiety than relief. Surprisingly, I have found more comfort in the silence. Sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing.
