I believed in you,
so I said,
"I am
deeply troubled, Lord."
In my anxiety
I cried out to you...
Psalms 116:10-11 NLT
Ever wondered if it's OK not to be OK?
The psalmist is not OK.
Anxious
Troubled. Deeply troubled.
Not OK.
"I believed in you". His faith in God was not wavered by the thoughts and feelings that were threatening to overwhelm.
And from that place of belief, of faith, he was confident to cry out to God, to let Him know his anxious thoughts.
Our God is OK with that.
The end of verse 11 he gets quite specific about what is concerning him. We can do that too.
Writing our prayers can be helpful, write it, pray it out loud. Pray it with a friend.
It's OK
Start with "I believe in You" and share your heart with Yahweh.
