Oh God, Help Us! Get Them!

Oh God, Help us! Get them! 

Bad things happen all the time. You get a flat tire. The screen on your phone cracks. You spill a drink on yourself. You probably get annoyed, are inconvenienced, and then move on with your life. But what happens when a disaster occurs? A car accident caused by a drunk driver. An affair ends a marriage. There’s no quick bouncing back from this. Thoughts and emotions of sadness, confusion, worry, anger, and frustration can linger for months, if not years.

God knows that we can have a mixture of emotions when the bottom drops out. The Bible describes this in multiple people’s lives. While instruction is needed in these moments, sometimes it’s helpful to read a first-hand, honest account of someone processing their thoughts and feelings.

This Sunday we’ll look at Psalm 79 and how the author responds to a devastating loss in Jim’s message, Oh God, Help us! Get them!
