The English psychologist and analyst D.W. Winnicott once said, “It is a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found.” Since humans were made for communion, the disaster of not being found is particularly terrifying. We all long to be loved and known and terrified of being discovered and our true selves exposed!

No wonder we are so confused!

How do we react when He seems hard to find in life's terrifying or confusing moments?
