Psalm 73 taught us that prayer sometimes is an honest wrestle of faith with God. In fact, only in wrestling through the struggles of faith with God, does faith blossom into sight, becoming the truthful vision of the world, ourselves, and our God.

So this week, let’s wrestle through faith unto sight. We’ll do so in three movements:

Movement #1 | Take a few moments to admit your struggles of faith to God, confessing where you see His Way not living up to the alternatives. (Ps. 73:2-16)

Movement #2 | Enter His sanctuary (Ps. 73:17). Use these words to find your footing in His presence: “I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for the length of my days…It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” (Ps. 23:6; Gal. 2:20)

Movement #3 | From the place of faith, God with you, you with God, pray with eyes wide-open:

I am continually with You;

You hold my right hand.

You guide me with Your counsel,

and afterward, You receive me to glory.

Whom have in heaven but You?

There is nothing on earth that I

desire besides You.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but my heavenly Father is the strength of my heart

and the Son, my portion, my best friend, forever.

It is good to be near God;

I have made the Lord Gdo my refuge,

that I may tell of all Your works.

(Ps. 73:22-26, 28)
