Leader: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I
cry by day, but you do not answer; and by night, but find no rest. Heavenly Father, You promised to be with us
always, and we know that Your Holy Spirit indwells us. Yet,
sometimes we feel that You are far from us, even as Your Son felt
forsaken by You as He hung upon the cross. We learn from the
Psalmist and Your faithfulness to Jesus the Messiah that You do not
fail those who trust in You for salvation. No matter how He felt,
Jesus maintained His loyalty to You and Your Word. He was not put to
shame, for You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right
hand. Increase our faith, and help us pray in faith as Jesus Christ
taught us to pray: “Our Father. . .” © Copyright 2007 by L.G. Parkhurst,
