Episode 257 // “But I cry to you for help, LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you. Why, LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me?” Psalm 88:13-14.


 


Not an easy prayer. But this psalm is so REAL for us. We’ve all had these seasons, where we are desperate for the Lord’s help and yet we feel like He is absent and ignoring us. 


 


He’s not ignoring you, friend. He’s not absent. 


 


Join me today for a short devotional looking at these verses for a moment of biblical encouragement in our hardest seasons. This is part of our Summertime in the Psalms series, and I’m so glad you’re here.

hugs & blessings,


Jess
