Read Psalm 89
Reality seems far from your promises, Lord.
The Kingdom’s glory seems trampled in the dust.
How long can your people bear up under suffering?
What happy subjects who have learned to worship you!
They joyfully walk in the light of your presence.
They delight in your righteousness.
The heavens praise all your wonders, O Lord.
Who in the heavens can be compared to you?
Among us you are powerful and fearful.
Do not forget us, O God of all eternity.
Enemies overrun your Kingdom.
Where, O Lord, is your former love?
You act with reason and move with purpose.
We trust in you, consoled by your faithfulness.
May you be praised forever. Amen!
Amen!
