Feb 24 Feeling Forgotten

Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?

***********************************

"God, why are you so mean to me?" A couple times I've asked God this audacious question. He who knows all appreciates honesty. I love King David's Psalms for fresh, raw candor. Psalm 22 is the most quoted Psalm in the New Testament. A lot in it applies directly to Jesus' crucifixion.

Jesus quoted this verse on the cross. It fit. That's how He felt too.

He understands hard times. He understands when it feels like God has abandoned you. Or even when you just feel alone.
