When we are excessively preoccupied with ourselves, we tend to see nothing beyond our own heartaches and problems, and our sense of reality shrinks. It is not surprising that we have trouble believing in the reality of God when we have trouble perceiving any reality at all beyond ourselves.

Great observation. Once, when I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life, I started a program for serving others. I was tired of wallowing in my own despair. Helping others was the best thing I could have done. "If you need help, help someone." (I can't remember who said that.)
