Answer

Scripture

Psalm 22

Reflection

What hurt do you take to God? Knowing that Jesus quoted this passage on the cross, how does that change your perspective of this psalm?

Prayer

creator God, I cry out to you, but I often hear nothing. I want easy answers but I am coming to see, you are not a vending machine. I cannot always force what I want. Are you silent? Are you speaking and I’m missing it? Are you trying to teach me how to rest in you without frantically finding solutions? Whatever the answer, I trust that you’re here. Grant me peace. Amen.
