Read Psalm 77:1-2 and 11-20

I cry aloud to God;

I cry aloud, and he hears me.

²In times of trouble I pray to the Lord;

all night long I lift my hands in prayer,

but I cannot find comfort.

¹¹I will remember your great deeds, Lord;

I will recall the wonders you did in the past.

¹²I will think about all that you have done;

I will meditate on all your mighty acts.

¹³Everything you do, O God, is holy.

No god is as great as you.

¹⁴You are the God who works miracles;

you showed your might among the nations.

¹⁵By your power you saved your people,

the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.

¹⁶When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid,

and the depths of the sea trembled.

¹⁷The clouds poured down rain;

thunder crashed from the sky,

and lightning flashed in all directions.

¹⁸The crash of your thunder rolled out,

and flashes of lightning lit up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

¹⁹You walked through the waves;

you crossed the deep sea,

but your footprints could not be seen.

²⁰You led your people like a shepherd,

with Moses and Aaron in charge.

Think

The first 10 verses of Psalm 77 describe someone battling with doubts and worries.  Verses 11-20 are that person's resolve to remember what God has done in the past.  In this memory - he finds comfort.

Pray

When I struggle in the present help me to remember your faithfulness in the past.
