The Update

Last week some of the junior high students talked about the ways Satan tries to get to us with lies about how we aren’t good enough. How nobody cares about us. How our prayers will never be answered.

I was reading Psalm 22 and I realized how much it captured that feeling. The The feeling that God is far away, that everyone is teasing you, that He isn’t listening. He knows how we feel!

I’m always amazed by the emotional 180 David pulls in a lot of the Psalms. He goes from “You aren’t listening” to “I will praise you” in no time flat. I want that. I want to be able to praise God even when things aren’t going the way I want them to. I think that’s what I’m going to pray for this week.
