When God sovereignly plans for your days to be long, painful, and hard, you must talk to HIM as the source of your deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration. - Though the dark days are very hard and deeply painful, you must plead with the Lord as your only hope for deliverance (5:1–13). - Though the dark days are the result of your sin, you must plead with the Lord as your only hope for forgiveness (5:14–18). - Though the dark days are from God's sovereign hand, you must plead with the Lord as your only hope for restoration (5:19–22).
