This chapter ends with a prayer to God that reminds me of many of the Psalms. It asks God why, but still shows faith. It trusts in God's faithfulness, yet is discouraged. It is like many of us feel from time to time. Yes, Jesus didn't say following him would be easy, but we still want it to be. We still want things to go better. We aren't alone; it's the human condition. The truth is, life isn't always good; in fact, it often is horrible for the saint and the sinner. The hope we have is that God works it out. But in my flesh, I would like it worked out today.
