Psalm 102- Waiting Anxiously

 “Lord, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come before you. Do not hide your face from me in my day of trouble. Listen closely to me; answer me quickly when I call.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭102‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

This psalm starts out with these desperate and fearful words.  You can tell the author is feeling like Go has not been listening and not paying attention.  I have felt like this before, and it is so frustrating.  The thought that there is no help on its way and that I will have to endure this all alone seems devastating.  Yet God is always there, He is watching, He is listening and He is actively helping me in those very moments…we don’t always get to see what He is working on.

It is after times like these that God is so present, as if I could reach out and touch Him.  He shows up every time, but it is always on His perfect timing!

Lord, help me to have faith to remember Your faithfulness and how You show up to help every time without fail.  You are a great God and I am blessed by You in every way!
