Here we see a picture of despair and trust, teaching us to pray about all things as we wait on the Lord. How often do we begin our prayers full of fears and doubts, which then grow into a comfort for our spirits?
Pleading Desperation (verses 1-2)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2013:1-2&version=NIV
We sometimes perceive the always present and all-knowing God as absent and inactive. Jesus Christ, God’s own Son, personally experienced abandonment from God. Yet Jesus remained faithful to God through His suffering and death. Like Jesus, our sense of God’s abandonment may be painful. Like Jesus may we openly and honestly tell God about our sense of abandonment, and with the psalmist plead our desperation. May we remember that all things will work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28).
How long, Lord, must we wait for You to do something here in Jefferson County? We confess our impatience. We long, O Lord, to see Your love transform our society.
