For the psalmist, the where, why, and when questions arise not from doubt but from Yahweh's steadfast love (ḥesed). Even though the psalmist and Eckhart have different perspectives, the dialectic leads to discovery of the other side of God's face, namely Deus absconditus, the absent God. The dialectically contributed theologically to the form of discovering mystical spirituality amid the agony. At the same time, this enlightens Christians about a mystical path that the face of God can be found not only in Immanuel but also in Deus absconditus; God's presence is through His absence.

The intersection of these perspectives is a theological quest of nothingness as an interspirituality path for a pluralistic society.

There is mutual interaction between a reader and the text in which as a spiritual discipline lectio divina is a form of reading that leads to prayer.
