We pray, but we remain caught up in our own questions and focused on ourselves, forgetting the character of the One we’re praying to. We ask questions without paying attention to the person we’re talking to.
Many of our concerns are best addressed by reminding ourselves of who God is and what He has done. By simply refocusing, we find comfort in what we know of His character; that He is loving, forgiving, sovereign, graceful.
The Psalmist believed we ought to seek God’s face continually. When David appointed leaders for worship and prayer, he encouraged the people to praise God’s character and tell stories of His past faithfulness.
When we turn our eyes toward the beautiful face of God, we can find strength and comfort that sustain us even in the midst of unanswered questions.
