"If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt. If doubt is eventually justified, we were believing what clearly was not worth believing. But if doubt is answered, our faith has grown stronger. It knows God more certainly and it can enjoy God more deeply." ~ C.S. Lewis

"When you are in deep water ... trust the One who walked on it."

And what does that accomplish? Does the water evaporate? Do you suddenly grow gills?

Having a God you can trust during hardships doesn't really amount to much if that God doesn't in any way intervene or help. Knowing God is there is irrelevant if God is just sitting there. If your best answer to suffering is that if God doesn't pull the plug on the deep waters then you can be assured that this invisible bystander will take you to some other better world after you drown... ? Well, excuse me. I'll take my chances on being spotted by the coast guard!
