BELIEVE ME, THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR INTENSE, DESPERATE PRAYER! Psalm 102 expresses that kind of prayer… Here is how the traditional introduction to that Psalm reads: “A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord!” Have you ever prayed like that because of something you are facing?
Here’s how the Psalmist expressed it…
“Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to You!
Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress!
Incline Your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!” (Psalm 102:1-2 ESV)
Can you picture someone praying that way – hearing their anguished voice? Listen, don’t hesitate to do it… Pour out your heart to God! It’s OK to pray that way! The introductory words of this psalm can help you get started! HAVE I EVER PRAYED LIKE THAT? … YOU BET!!!
