Why Me? Comfort for the Victimized

Why Me?

Comfort for the Victimized

“Why is this happening to me? Where is God in my time of anguish?”  Knowing our hearts, God has spoken powerful words of comfort. Psalm 10, for example, is God’s word to those who have been victimized by others. It guides people into knowing God in the midst of being violated. David Powlison walks us through Psalm 10, helping us see its message of anguish and refuge. Can this ancient text help us in our pain today? Yes, because God is present and listening. What others may have meant for evil, God means for good.
