Each and Every Letter

(This post originally appeared on MomQ.org)

If I’m being honest, often, in times of waiting or when my prayers seem to go unanswered, I find my heart leaning toward worry. When I focus on the desired outcome or my perceived lack of response from God, I’m prone to anxious thoughts. My mind runs through all the “what ifs.” And when this goes on for long seasons and weeks stretch into months or even years, I can find myself in an ongoing state of mid-level anxiety. Not the kind of anxiety that drives you into depression. But the kind that keeps you up some nights and nags in the back of your mind with questions like: 

“When will this end?” 

“Will this ever get better?”

“Will my husband ever find another job?”

“Will we ever feel financially secure?”

“Will my child ever be healed?”

“Will my relationship with my (son, daughter, husband) ever feel like it did before?” 

If you’ve ever asked questions like this, you might be encouraged to know you’re not alone. King David—a man God chose to lead His people—asked similar questions in some pretty candid prayers. I’m thankful we have these recorded in Scripture.
