Thanks for Nothing, God!

Thank you for nothing, God! Thank you for doing nothing about the things I am suffering because you know that the place I have to get to is through these sufferings. Thank you for not answering me when I pray to you because you want me to learn to trust you even when you are silent. Thank you for denying me those things I think I need so that I can see that I need you most of all. Thank you for occasionally sticking your foot out and tripping me so that I don't spend my whole life on the run. Thank you for the vacuum at the center of my being that refuses to be filled with any of the things of this world for this is what Solomon speaks of as "eternity in the heart." Thank you for nothing. Thank you for everything.
