When I read this passage of Palms I invision a man or woman kneeling before God (as his child) asking forgiveness. We have a forgiving giving Father...let me say this again...we have a forgiving Father. In the book of Romans Paul talks about "this war within" (I can't remember the verse). He talks about the responsibility that you have as a Christian and this line you may walk with living in this world. "I know what I should do, but I do not do it..." (bare with my translations) I'm saying this because "easier said than done" is true! Its one thing to say...pray on it....believe and have faith and its another to actually...I mean ACTUALLY have faith and believe. You're right...it is a journey that we go through (seasonably) but, when you have that "Doubt" or feeling that war within...TRY to remember all the blessings that God has given to you. Its hard...I know, trust...this was an interesting week for some. But TRY to remember when you WERE down an out and were low God brought you through. Or better yet, remember when you knew you didn't have the money for rent, car note etc and by the grace of God...you made it through.
