February 5th 2012: Sunday Reading Reflection--Job and the Psalms



Do you or a family member have overly dramatic or sad, cynical moments?

-Step 1: Read today’s 1st Reading to really become rooted in the experience of being dramatically despondent. (Job 7:1-4, 6-7) God knows even our pain and fears! All prayer is good prayer, even despondent prayer or getting angry with God!

-Step 2: Read today’s Psalm (Psalm 147:1-6) to put our own worries and troubles into perspective, to entrust them to the God who knows us and loves us. God does not promise to get rid of all darkness or suffering but promises to stand with us through it and sometimes even to carry us through it! God is faithful. 

How do I deal with stress or cynicism? 
How does my relationship with God play a role in those experiences of my life?
