This psalm gives us perspective on praying when we are in difficulty. The content of the psalm is testimony to the fact that our prayers are more filled with doubt than with faith. The Lord, in His mercy, does not strike us down for saying things about Him which are not true. He lets us vent, even when our venting is in error.
When you feel, “Why me?” you don’t have to pathetically implore the Lord, “Wake up. Remember Your love and do something!”
Rather, because of who Jesus is, you can pray boldly, with faith and confidence (Rom. 8:38-39).
If there are moments when you feel Psalm 44 describes where you are, acknowledge those feelings to the Lord. But then go past those feelings to the real truth: The Lord does hear, know and help
