Psalm 22 was Jesus' actual experience on the cross where he was forsaken so you never have to be. You are not alone in your suffering, your doubt, or your sense of abandonment. The God you bring your pain to already knows what it costs. Exhale your grief, anger, confusion, or fear directly to him; then inhale, receiving the truth that Jesus endured abandonment, death, and shame in your place, and rose.

Dependence on the good news of Jesus results in joyful, unrestrained praise.

God invites you to listen and receive, not to perform and achieve.

Trust in the Living God--the one with a voice, with ears, with hands, and with feet.

Jesus didn’t come to give you ease. He came to give you himself, new life, and his presence, and it is in his presence that our perspective will shift.

In his holiness and justice, God makes a way to himself in the person and work of Jesus.

In the shadow of Christ, God will protect his people.

God gathers his people to warn them to come back to him and his covenant with them.

Preaching the gospel to yourself is reminding yourself that Jesus endured deeper suffering and isolation than we will ever face so he could lead us into the loving presence of God the Father.

There is no place you can go where God is not already present, already working, and already holding you.
