God's Vision for My Life
What happens when your plan for your life collides with God's plan/vision for your life? Someone must prevail, there cannot be two opposing visions living in harmony. In this amazing book of Nehemiah God will teach us to submit our plans and our lives to his vision for our lives. The process of submitting involves a lot of prayer and is harder than it sounds. May the Lord reveal his vision for us and may we respond to it appropriately.

Hope through Despair (Psalm 119:81-88)
The psalmist is going through a deep spiritual struggle. He feels abandoned by the Lord; his inner spiritual strength is gone; his previous fellowship has been taken away; the intimate delight is a distant memory. He is desperate for deliverance; he lacks a sense of God’s compassion; he feels God’s delay in judging his persecutors, until the point that he is despairing even of life. He is in a spiritual valley. “The midnight of the Psalm, and very dark and black it is†(Spurgeon). Spurgeon himself is said to have struggled at times with depression. This teaches us that even the most eminent of saints are not beyond the flaming arrows of our adversary and are not immune at times to letting their guard down and having those arrows embedded into the heart. Thankfully, for the believer, that no a single arrow of Satan, no matter how well suited and painful it may be, is ever a death blow. A believer may be weakened by Satan’s attacks but he is never defeated and cannot be ultimately. We have the divine resources of an indestructible life in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 2:16-18; 4:15-16; 7:25). (In the world you have troubles, but take courage. I have overcome the world [John 16:33]); what is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith (1 John 5:4).Hope in and faithfulness to the Word of God are anchors to the soul in spiritual struggle and persecution.

Praying With The Psalmists: A Study in the Psalms, Psalm 38
Today we are going to look at Psalm 38 and how 4 prayers and three complaints can be worked together to form a proper human response to pain and to God. There are too many people who either want to blame God and be bitter, or gloss over the elephant in the room (Human Pain) and try to put on a “Religious Front,†neither which helps us with our pain, or moves us toward God.
