July 22

Psalm 87 & 88

The final line in chapter 88 is "the darkness is my closest friend". The despair described in that verse is what I feel in a family I know. The life situations of the husband and wife are overwhelming to them. They see no way out. When I pray with them, I see no way out. The ony hope is that God will act in a miraculous manner.

The Psalms teach us to pray. They show us what it means to have faith, when it appears that all hope is gone. To have faith in those dark moments of life means that are prayers are open and honest with God about our life situation and how we feel. We are free to share everything with God.
