Abandon Monologue
I cannot tell you how many times people have abandoned me. Seen them Triumph over me! Left me for dead! They wanted nothing to do with me; rather, it was their insecurities or demons, but it somehow felt like I was the one punished. I looked for you, God, and felt like I could not find you! I felt like I couldn't find you in my pain, hurt, abandonment, and depression. I kept looking, crying out, waiting for you to show up to rescue me! Rescue me from these enemies. They persecute me without cause. Psalm 32:8 psalm 70:1, I was hoping you would save me from the pain and tears I cried throughout my midnight hours! Sometimes, I felt I wouldn't make it until the morning, yet the sun would come through, reminding me that I had to get up and experience more pain. Well, that's how I felt at the time, …show more content…
Have compassion on me, please! I feel like I'm walking in the wilderness with no one to guide, love, hold, or rescue me. I started to wonder if you had left me. Abandon me just like everyone else. I started to give up. I started to exist and merely not feel like living. But as I continued to seek, you continued to answer me! You continue to find me at my lowest point and carry me back to your pasture (Psalm 28:9). You would come to see me in my darkest hours and be so quiet that I barely knew you were there (Psalm 23:4). I only knew you had visited me because you blessed me with your presence to last throughout the night. In the midnight hours, you were so quiet that I almost mistook it for a pen drop or hallucinations of staying up all night weeping and crying. Did I ask myself countless times how long, Lord? How long will I suffer (Psalm 13:2)? How long will I feel pain? How long will you remain silent? How long will you not rescue me from tears and pain? In church, they speak about your promises and love, but never in a million years did I believe I would be persecuted without reason or for doing the right

    The book of Psalms is a clear acceptance of wisdom and poetry unto God, the Creator of heavens and earth. David, his Sons, and others expressly write their human’s emotions in prayers and hymns to convey a message from their hearts in many ways. The book of Psalms is also equivalent to the New Testament as well, the Old Testament , example, Psalm 22:1 where David cries in agony, just as Jesus Christ did in the Gospel of Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 collectively describing in Scriptures a separation from God. Nevertheless, God is only prayer away in every…

    We all have had moments of tragedy and despair. It is in our darkest hour that many of us pray to God for comfort, I believe he answers our prayers when we are ready. We need to understand that asking God for material things will probably be ignored, that the greatest gifts we receive from God come from what we live and learn. For instance, my life was very difficult in many ways. I came from a home plagued by mental disease and addiction, it was a very lonely existence and I had often prayed for peace and to be loved unconditionally by another person. It did not seem like too much to want from life, however inside me grew resentment and anger. I was not ready to be loved or for a peaceful existence because I had not even loved myself. Over twenty years I lived my life angry at God for not giving me what seemed basic for most people and it consumed me to the point of near death. I saw what I had become, but now I had a child and I did not want her to feel the pain that I felt. If I did not change, it would just be repeating the vicious cycle. A very life altering decision was made and I began to heal from my past, but I still had a long journey ahead. I still felt lost and needed someone to understand. Finally I begged God to show me…

    “Psalm” is the longest book in the bible and is written in prayers, poems, and hymns. It is about God and His creation, war, worship, wisdom, sin, evil, judgement, and the coming of the Messiah. “Psalm 89” talks about Ethan’s realizations about God, the great things that God has done, and the promises that He has made. It also explains that God is angry with the Israelites for sinning, so a psalmist asks The Lord to have mercy on them. After he asks for mercy, he says, “Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence! No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave” (Psalm 89.47-48). The people wanted forgiveness but nobody knew how long they would have to live and they knew that death will take over eventually. In other words, they wanted to be forgiven before they…

    We speak to people in passing with our heads turned downward or looking past them to our next step. How many eyes gazing through brokenness and hopelessness do we miss the opportunity to pray for because we have stopped being present in every moment but instead we are trying to keep our eyes from sharing our own battles? I love to share the story about the time my husband saw a guy walking in an outdoor mall and in this case his eyes were exposing tears. He said the weight on the guy's face was so heavy and he looked so worried that he, hesitantly, stopped him and asked him if he could pray for him. He said the guy began to cry even harder and my husband, by this point, was rethinking this entire decision. It’s no secret that we are in a world where crazy eyes can expose scary truths so it’s no wonder people don’t take these type of comfort zone stretching more often. At any rate, it turned out that the guy had accepted his call to preach the gospel but lacked the support of his family. He said he was walking, crying, asking God to send him someone to pray for him and encourage him in that particular moment. He shared that he grew up with (and still had) family members who are very racist so for God to send a black man to pray over him, He knew that not only is God bigger than the things we give little (g)OD access to but also receiving the revelation of seeing the goodness of all people, no matter what they look like.…
