Psalms to Pray When We Experience Difficulty and Impatience

One thing we can count on: God hears us when we cry out to Him. No matter what we are going through, whether our suffering is because of our sin or through no fault of our own, God knows us and loves us, and He responds.

Consider these psalms, which emphasize patience in the waiting:

For, after all, we know that however God responds, whatever the outcome is, God will use it for His glory. And as we belong to Him, we will ultimately be OK. We might lose our human lives, but our souls will live forever in eternity with Him. 

Therefore, reflect on these verses about God’s perfect, eternal goodness:

And because He is so good, the appropriate and righteous response for us, His children, is to lift praise and thanks for His blessings and His power. Consider these verses:

Praying the psalms, reflecting on their lessons and often-poetic kernels of truth and wisdom, is one of the best things we can do when our hearts struggle to endure what we experience in this earthly life. I hope these verses above will be of some help to you.
