In times of deep spiritual darkness, we often find ourselves grappling with questions that shake the very foundations of our faith. Psalm 77 offers us a powerful lens through which to view these struggles, reminding us that even the most devout can experience moments of doubt and despair. The psalmist’s raw honesty in expressing his anguish and questioning God’s promises mirrors our own experiences in life’s darkest valleys. Yet, this psalm also teaches us a crucial lesson: in our moments of deepest despair, we can choose to redirect our thoughts towards God’s faithfulness. By remembering His past deeds and wonders, we anchor ourselves in truth, even when our emotions and circumstances scream otherwise. This journey from lament to remembrance shows us that faith isn’t about always feeling God’s presence, but about choosing to trust Him even when we can’t see or feel Him. As we navigate our own ‘dark nights of the soul,’ let’s remember that the God who handled the cross can certainly handle our questions and doubts.
