This marks the end of carnal hope, when we realize we are but &#8220;dead men walking,&#8221; and from this extremity of inner desperation and clarity we learn to rely solely on God for what we need. Here we abandon ourselves to God&#8217;s care, despite the despair, darkness, and fear. We rely on &#8220;God who raises the dead,&#8221; because all other remedies have been vanquished. It is a great gift to be so tested, for these &#8220;troubles of love&#8221; teach us to trust God alone for all we need. The only way out is through. We don&#8217;t seek an easy way of life, but only that the LORD our God be with us throughout our troubles. May God do the miracle within us.
