Psalm 77

Summary: The psalmist recounts an all-nighter of desperate prayer. He doubts momentarily that God would hear and answer the prayer, then affirms his belief that God will do those things. He remembers just how much power He has over even the sea and storm, and how God has already proven His love.

Response: I've been there, when praying with seemingly no answer gets frustrating. But the psalmist's attitude improves, even without an answer. Instead, it is his perspective that changes. It goes from "I've been suffering so long; how could God ignore me?" to "God has proven Himself time and time again, and I can't wait to see what He has in store for this time!"
