God created everything we can see: the earth, the stars, and every living thing. It's a wondrous fact, and likewise fill us with wonder when we marvel at what He's made. But here's an even more amazing fact: God created you, knows you, and what's more, He loves you!

In almost every story, the bad guy loses and the good guy wins. But in real life, that isn't always the case. When we lose out while the bad guy wins, it can lead to a bitterness, hatred, or something worse. How can we keep a positive perspective when it seems like justice isn't being served? Will God ever set right the wrongs of the world?

One of the most desperate moments in Scripture is captured in Psalm 51. Written from a place of deep despair and brokenness over his sin, David pours out his heart to God. In your own life, what do you do when you know you've broken God's heart? When you realize that you're responsible for what's gone wrong, how can things be turned around?

It's a hard fact to admit, but it's true: We're not really in control as much as we'd like to think. Yet often we think that if we don't keep the plates spinning, they're going to crash. And so we worry -- the exact thing that Jesus commands us not to do! How can our perspective change about who's in control? How can we learn to trust the One who is?

When life gets dark, God can seem far away and silent. Sometimes, we honestly wonder if He's listening to our cries at all. Yet even in the darkest times, God is reassuringly there. This honest look at Psalm 6 delves into the very real times like this, when trusting God can be challenging -- yet it is the most vital thing we have.
