The Gospel One Psalm at a TimeSample

A Portrait of the Struggle of Faith

The Psalms, in a way, are the Bible’s clearest, most extensive portrait of the struggle of faith. I am deeply persuaded that the Psalms are in the Bible to keep us honest about our own struggle of faith in this fallen world. The Psalms picture our doubt, our confusion, our wonderment, our feelings at moments that we’re under attack, our wonderment about why it doesn’t seem like the good guys are winning, our questions to God, “Is God there? Does he hear? Will he ever do what he’s promised?”
