O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror. My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD — how long? Psalm 6:1-3

Have you had those days?  Times when things just seem so wrong or chaotic that you feel like the psalmist and wonder “how long O Lord”?  I have.  There are times when I pray and pray and feel like God is not listening or willing to answer my prayer. 

The psalms take us through the normal human emotions, including some depressing verses such as these.  This is a great reminder that the scriptures are more than old stories from a land far from us, they speak to us and our condition.  Psalms such as 6 remind us that we all have doubts from time to time and often these times of darkness can often lead us to a greater spiritual awakening.

If you are praying “How long, O Lord”, hold on for God will respond.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
