Psa 22:1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning? Psa 22:2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.<\/p>\n
The Psalmist is calling on God in direct address with intensity and passion. From the statement , ” My God, my God” , we can definitely get to see the good relationship the Psalmist has with his God. The two must have been very close friends.<\/p>\n
But at this particular time, something seems to have gone wrong. His prayers seems not to be receiving the heavenly attention as before. The Psalmist is gripped by a sense of loneliness and isolation. Despite him making persisted calls for help; the anticipated help seems not to be forth coming. The Psalmist does not give up, he continues in the place of prayer during the day and in the night season.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we pray, and nothing seems to be happening. Our prayers seems unanswered and as a result we start feeling alienated and lonely. God is real, no matter how you feel. Keep praying, our God does not have a dustbin for prayers. He will show up in a big way!<\/p>\n
Psa 22:24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.*<\/p>\n
