1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
I love the Psalms because they are real. They express some of the feelings that I have when I am in my darkest hours. They can even give voice to what I have been afraid to say myself. If the writers of Psalms can express these emotions, then I can too. These dark, lonely feelings are part of who we are, part of normal life. They are part of the conversation that we can have with God. We don’t have to try and hide these feelings from God. We can be free to express them in His presence and not be rejected. We all need someone with whom we can be totally open. So next time you are in one of those dark times, times that we all get, talk to the Lord about it. Go to the Psalms and are them out loud. Let the Scriptures give voice to your feelings.
