Desperation.

"O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help." -Psalm 22:2, 11

Why, Lord? Isn't that always the question? Please. Help me understand, help me know, help my heart to heal, help my finances to work out, help my inadequacy, help my unbelief, turn my mourning to dancing, my sorrow to joy, my strife to rejoicing. I know You're there. Answer my call. Bind up my heart, renew Your vows with me. I long to hear Your voice.

But even if You don't answer right now, even if I never know, even if they don't work out the way I want them to, I will still praise You. You are still God. You are still my Father. You are still good. You are still Love. You still show mercy. You still give grace. You still sent Your Son. You still grant me forgiveness for every fault. And I still love You. So much. So I will exalt Your name, declare to the ends of the earth what You have done! Praise be to God, the giver of all life!
