Psalm 70

Psalm 70 
English Standard Version (ESV) 

  We all know that life can be difficult at times.  If not, 2020 has reinforced this with ruthless relentlessness.  Life is hard  There is suffering.  No matter who, you'll encounter struggles at some point.  
  The key to much of this is how we react in the midst of suffering.  Do we fold?  Do we fight on?  Do we muddle forward?  No matter what, the Psalms teach us how to turn to God in the midst of pain and suffering.  When life is hard and seems straight uphill, we can turn to God and cry out -- even when we don't know what the solution to our problems is, we can cry out to God for help.  The Psalms teach us how to pray in the midst of suffering and trials, so that our default language, no matter what, will be to turn to God.
