Psalm 88

"Why do you reject me, LORD? Why do you turn away from me?" Surely every believer has thought these questions even if they did not speak them or pray them. This psalm offers no answers or even hints of answers to those questions. Most would find little comfort in the persistent lack of answers. But I see a couple of positive truths about these questions because of this psalm.
1. If we voice such question God will not be surprised. Psalm 88 tells us that God has encounter such frustration before.  He understands their depths and their pain. He knows that the loneliness is real, that the feelings of abandonment are a struggle.
2. We are not alone among believers with these questions.  There are many other believers who have struggled with this feeling of separation. And if they were able to overcome so can we.
