RAISING QUESTIONS IN PRAYER
There will be times when perplexing questions will arise. These may arise from painfully difficult circumstances. How do we resolve these issues? There are two arenas where we may raise perplexing questions:-
1. We could address our souls.
Psalms 42-43 are examples.
2. We could address these questions in prayer to God.
Psalm 74is an example.
LIFE’S PERPLEXING QUESTIONS
Psalm 74 is a contemplation of a situation that was puzzling to the psalmist. He must have tried to obtain answers on his own. Finding no satisfactory answers he raised two questions to God in prayer.
“O God, why have You cast us off forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep
of Your pasture?”
Psalm 74:1
