When We Can No Longer Pretend Everything Is Fine

When We Can No Longer Pretend Everything Is Fine
Sometimes we get tired
of carrying the same problems
day after day.
We try to manage them.
Push through them.
Ignore them.
But eventually
we reach a point
where we can no longer pretend
everything is fine.
And neither does the psalmist.
The psalmist does not pretend
the problems do not exist.
The psalmist does not minimize them.
And the psalmist does not accept
that despair must have the final word.
Instead, the problems are named plainly.
Help is sought honestly.
And trust is held onto tenaciously.
“Give me relief from my distress;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.”
— from Psalm 4:1
May we, like the psalmist, become people
who neither deny our distress
nor surrender to despair.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
