Asking Honestly

Reading

"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? … But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation."

Reflect

David doesn't hide his disappointment from God — and he doesn't stay there either. The honest cry and the steady trust live in the same prayer. Where do you need to be more honest with God today, while still leaning into his love?

Pray

Father, I bring my real questions and my real ache. Steady my heart in your steadfast love. In Jesus' name, amen.
