Reading Providence when God seems absent (Clarke Scheibe)

We are assured in the Bible that God oversees and provides not just for nature and for all of humanity, but for especially his own children. Jesus said we are not to worry for doesn't our heavenly Father love us more than flowers and birds? But what if God seems absent? How are we to "read the signs" that God does in fact care for us? The Book of Esther is informative in this discussion. Nowhere does the author mention God but it is evident throughout the book that God's invisible hand is orchestrating the miraculous rescue of his people. What might we learn about trusting God and reading "providence" when God seems absent? When life is difficult? How might we journey forward trusting that God's promises will be true?
