The psalmist says he wants God. The problem is that as you read the Psalm the psalmist feels as if God is far off. Things are not going the way they should be in his mind. I find this encouraging as it is a reminder that you and I aren't the only ones who have asked the question, "Where are you God?" or "Why is this happening?." The psalmist here has the same question and God allows the question to stand. God doesn't just allow the question, He puts it in the Bible. God isn't offended when we ask hard questions or say we don't understand. God does have a problem with people throwing accusations at him in hate or derision. God understands we don't see it all and allows us questions. Yet, at the end of the day, he still wants us to trust Him.
