If our hearts don't have anything that it breaks for, there are still roads to tread between God's heart and our own. We must press in until we arrive there. Likewise, if our hearts don't have anything to hope for at the moment when tragedy and trials present themselves, it could only mean that there is a distance of sort in which we must walk, with the Spirit, to get closer to God's heart. It is crucial. This is especially for those who say they want to be or are a praying community. For those who have chosen to stand in the gap for others through prayer, perhaps the depth of both shall only increase together, until hope is all there is left.
