Reading some Psalms makes me thankful for where we live and the incredible provision God has made for us.  Psalm 88 is one of those Psalms.  "I cry out before you...my soul if full of trouble...I am set apart with the dead...my eyes are dim with grief..."  And it goes on, finally ending with "the darkness is my closest friend."  No real resolution in this Psalm.  Just crying out to God.  And while it makes me glad for my life situation, it also reminds me that there are times in life when we remain in the emotional hole.  In our Burger King world, where we can have in our way right away, we want God to rescue us from our despair immediately.  But sometimes he doesn't.  Sometimes we go to bed still in distress - and that is okay - when we do, Psalms like this resonate with our souls as we continue to call out to God even when it seems as though he has abandoned us.     SMJ
