Have you ever prayed and wondered if God was listening? Psalm 88 is one of the darkest chapters in the Bible. It doesn't end with the problem solved or the circumstances changed. In fact, its final words are, “Darkness is my closest friend.”

Yet the psalmist never stopped praying. He brought his pain, questions, loneliness, and disappointment directly to God. Even before describing his troubles, he called the Lord “the God of my salvation.”

There is an important lesson in that for us. Feeling abandoned does not mean you have been abandoned. God’s silence never equals God’s absence.

Jesus Himself entered the darkness. He went to the cross, bore our judgment, went to the grave—and rose again. Because Christ lives, darkness never gets to write the final line for those who belong to Him.

If you're walking through a difficult season, don't stop praying. Bring God your honest pain. Anchor yourself in what you know to be true, even when your feelings tell you otherwise.
