Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.  From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint...
Psalm 61:1-2 NIV
David unloads on God.
He wants to be heard.
Not some prayer about some minor inconvenience in his life, David is calling to God from the core of his being...
Our God can take our strongest emotions, our deepest hurts, our innermost needs. He's the designer after all...the designer who joined his creation, became one of us, so he knows how we tick.
And David gives us permission here to let Him know where we're at.
The good
The ugly
The joy
The sorrow
The wins, victories & when we trip...
Most of all He wants to hear our heart.
David got to the end of his resources here before he cried out...we don't need to do that because God is with us. He is near.
He wants to hear from us
And He whispers his words of love and acceptance

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
