When We Can No Longer Pretend Everything Is Fine

Send us Fan MailWhen We Can No Longer Pretend Everything Is FineSometimes we get tiredof carrying the same problemsday after day.We try to manage them.Push through them.Ignore them.But eventuallywe reach a pointwhere we can no longer pretendeverything is fine.And neither does the psalmist.The psalmist does not pretendthe problems do not exist.The psalmist does not minimize them.And the psalmist does not acceptthat 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 4:1May we, like the psalmist, become peoplewho neither deny our distressnor surrender to despair.I’m Horace McMillon.
