There are times when we feel totally alone. David did. (Psalm 142:4)

His words in the first two verses really strike me.

I cry aloud…

I plead aloud…

I pour out my complaint…

I reveal my trouble…

To whom did he do all these things?

To the Lord.

Alone as he felt, he was never truly alone.

And so David could say,

Although my spirit is weak within me,
you know my way. (Psalm 142:3)

And again,

I say, “You are my shelter,
my portion in the land of the living.” (Psalm 142:5)

Are you feeling alone right now? Abandoned?

Jesus knew what that was like. (Matthew 27:46)

Yet God didn’t abandon him to the prison of his grave. (Acts 2:25-32)

He won’t abandon you either.

So cry to him.

Plead with him.

Pour out your heart and reveal your troubles to him.

He will hear.

And he will raise you up.
