Did you know that admitting your hopelessness to God can be a statement of faith? Trusting God but feeling despair at the same time, David wrote, "I believed, so I said, `I am completely ruined!" 14 This sounds like a contradiction: I trust God, but I'm wiped out! David's frankness actually reveals deep faith: First, he believed in God. Second, he believed God would listen to his prayer. Third, he believed God would let him say what he felt and still love him.

你是否知道，向神承认你的绝望也是信心的表达？当大卫既信靠神却又感到绝望的同时，他说：“我相信祢，因此我说：「我完了！」'听来有点矛盾：我倚靠神，但我彻底被摧毁了！大卫的坦诚反映出他坚定的信心。首先，他相信神；其次，他相信神会聆听他的祷告；第三，他相信神容许他将自己的感受说出来，并且仍然爱他。
