Sometimes or even
often prayer may not feel spirit-filled, inspired. Prayer can be difficult and
routine-feeling, with no sense if God is listening or not. If he is testing me
or not. When life falls apart or the path forward is confusing - in health,
relationships, job, self-confidence - it seems particularly unfair when not
even prayer can bring peace and direction.
If you have days or even months
like this then you have a lot in common with our psalmist! Life is not always
meant to be easy and can become particularly difficult, with no safe haven in
sight.
If you are facing trouble in
your life or know someone else who is suffering, pray to find peace and relief
like the psalmist:
8
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9 The
LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies
will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
