Psalm 81, 88, 92, 93
This set of psalms has one in the middle of praises that is filled with despair, unanswerable questions, asking God why He allows bad things to happen, actually blaming God for the harm that David is suffering. Is it right and fair to blame God for misfortune? Again, one of those unanswerable questions. However, whether it is right or wrong, it would seem that our Lord is ever present to hear our grievances. He listens, allowing us to vent, to get it off our chest. Often, this is all we need. Once we've released the burden, we are better able to deal with the actual problem and find a workable solution. This is the very core of successful psychological counseling. Allow the patient to discover the path to recovery by offering them a caring, trusting, listening ear. David knew how to escape the evil dominating his life. He just needed to clear his mind so he could see. So, God becomes his sounding board. Are you taking advantage of His services? They're free, you know!
