“Feeling Forgotten”

Psalm 44 can feel like a pretty grim work of poetry—it describes a raw and real pain, and registers complaint after complaint to God. And it doesn’t even resolve! The writer is left in brokenness and confusion at why they’ve been seemingly forgotten by God. Yet, it’s a helpful Psalm to reference when you might feel this way yourself. The bible never promises the absence of problems—but it tells us how we can thrive in any circumstance. The key is understanding God’s unrelenting love. So if you’ve worn out your voice praying and pleading and begging God to intervene, let Psalm 44 teach you that when you feel like God forgot you, the best thing to do is to tell him how you feel.
