How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me

The Fog

David asks this question directly to God, worth noticing precisely, not asked about God to someone else, but genuinely, honestly asked to him, worth holding as this whole book’s own starting posture, doubt brought directly into prayer, not hidden from the very one it actually concerns.

Notice how long, repeated twice, worth holding as honest, ongoing frustration, not a single, brief moment of doubt but this described, extended waiting, worth recognizing if this same repeated, wearying question has genuinely characterized your own current season of feeling forgotten.

This is worth holding as scripture’s own permission for this exact question, included here, preserved, worth trusting as legitimate prayer, not evidence of insufficient faith, but honest address to God himself, the same posture this whole book will keep returning to across these thirty days.

Whatever forgetting or hiding you have genuinely sensed from God, ask him this today, as directly as David asked it, how long, trusting that this honest question, brought straight to him, is where this whole book, and perhaps your own healing, actually begins.
