God wanted him to go to Him with his deepest needs, to stop looking elsewhere, so that he could be made whole again.

About This Quote

It is easy to look to God for help when we are in physical distress. However, we must also look to God when we are emotionally distraught and troubled. Spiritual distress and emotional distress often go hand in hand and can be difficult for someone to sort out. Why does it happen? Perhaps if we stop looking elsewhere for our needs, we can begin to work through the situation and become whole again.
