> "I do believe; help my unbelief." is a prayer that really resonates with me.Psalm 43 echoes a lot of the feelings about feeling abandoned:
God, you are my strength.
Why have you rejected me?
Why am I sad
and troubled by my enemies?I find the Psalms to really reflect some deeply important feelings that are very relevant to many of the issues we face today.
