1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18
1 John 3:1

Psalm 13
"How long?"
Anger - agsinst the world, people or God.

Talk to God about your anger.
"How Long?"
An exhasperated cry!
Disappointment and a sense of injustice.
He knows how we feel and He wants us to pray to Him about it. Honest and open communication is key to a good relationship, espcially with Him.

David felt frustrated and abandoned, whilst Saul was being wicked in his kingship.

He felt abandoned by God. He was despairing.
vs 2 He was weighed down by his troubles.

Lifeline - Had the highest number of calls ever in August 2021.

vs 3 - Talking problems out with someone helps.
Delays - Teach patience and allow for personal growth.

vs 5, 6 - An amazing expression of faith.

Habakkuk 3:17, 18
Despite being in a desperate situation, his eyes were on God.
