Setting
No one has said that I’m quiet and rarely am I at a lose for words. But somelne asled me how I qas feelong about church and my service. The only word Inhave us disconnected. I know my God loves me, I know that he forgives me, and I’m welcome. There just seems to be something missing. I’ve tried to explaon it but I can’t. I don’t know whats going on but know God will get me through it.
Today’s Questions: What do you do when you feel disconnected or disenfranchised? How to you reconnect to God?
Scripture
Psalm 13
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?
2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
3 Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4 Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6 I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me.
