Psalm 102:1-11

Psalm 102:1-11
The Message (MSG) 

  This is honesty before God, a feat many of us struggle with.  It's easier to pretend that everything is ok, to pretend that we're just moving forward, thanks for everything, God, and a little help could be fine.  We like to pretend we're independent.
  Independence isn't true.  If independence were true, we would have made today happen.  We would be able to break free from the ties that bind us, to set our own course without opposition.  But we depend on God for our life itself.  We depend on God to make it through today, and when opposition arises, we depend on God for the strength to carry forward.  Life is challenging, and when we're just pretending that everything is ok, we're ignoring the biggest source of strength in the world.  God wants to encourage you and urge you forward, to walk with you through all the moments of life.
  In times of despair, lean into God, and we will find comfort and strength to take the next step.

May you find God's arms waiting to support you
