Here are a few verses from Psalm 10 that communicate some of the daily struggles I go through with God. As usual with David the Psalm progresses from hopelesness and despair to a breakthrough where he is reminded of the goodness and mercy of God. I find myself cycling through like this several times each day. I trust these words will be encouraging to you as you face life's various trials.

Why, O LORD, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry
