One great thing about reading the Psalms is that King David often laments, complains and talks about the reality of what is happening. Yet he always ends a Psalm with hope and worship. Despite the twisted manipulated words of many, God’s truth remains. Truth is truth and facts are facts, no matter what the spin of the day is. Reading the Scriptures for me helps filter out the negativity and divisive nature of what we often hear.
Talking all things out in prayer seems to be the key to maintaining a sane view of life. Whether I pray a panic prayer or have a list to methodically pray for the same issues over and over, my emotions and thought life are better than not praying.
Joseph had to have had an intense prayer life to maintain his sanity and peace of mind.
