Inner Turmoil

Satan loves to distract us with criticism and he tries to get us to use it on others as well as ourselves. We judge prematurely and try to correct others before we know what they're saying. That's what Eli the priest did when Hannah was crying out to God. He interrupted her prayer and accused her of being drunk (1 Samuel 1:12-14).
But God let us pour out our hearts to Him in full honesty (Psalms 62:8). In fact, the Psalms indicates that it is when we are expressing our doubts and fears that God resolves them. Many Psalms that begin in despair and ens in praise (22;42;60;69;73).
When a battle is raging inside, pour out your soul before the Lord (1 Samuel 1:15). He can make sense out of what seems senseless.

When turmoil seems to hold full sway
And be the rules of the day,
I'll open up my heart and find
That God with peace ease my mind.

Prayer does not make God see things as we see them; is helps us see things as God sees them.
