Seek, even when unsure

Read

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. ⁸ When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. ⁹ Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. ¹⁰ When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

Reflect

The psalmist pleads not to be forsaken while still choosing to seek God's face. Even if father and mother forsake him, he trusts that the Lord will take him up.

Pray

Lord, hear me when I feel far from you or from others. Help me speak honestly and seek your presence today. Amen.
