Psalm 10:1  Why, O LORD do you stand far away?  Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?  (ESV)


When I read this verse I tend to focus on the hopelessness of the situation, until I think through it.  First, I know that the Lord doesn't hide from us. Secondly, whenever I have felt this way, I have found out that it was I who distanced myself from God, rather than the other way around.  Finally, as we think about the above verse, we see that actually it sounds like the psalmist is more concerned about where God is than his current situation, which can be a good thing.  Whenever we are looking for God, He promises to be found.
