## Resource

Psalm 142 is a deeply personal prayer of David, written when he was hiding in a cave and crying out to the Lord in distress. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how David brings his complaint honestly before God, trusts that the Lord knows his way, and finds refuge in the Lord even when human support is gone. This psalm reminds believers that God is present in isolation, faithful in suffering, and sufficient as our refuge and portion. Psalm 142 also points us to Jesus Christ, who experienced abandonment and suffering so His people would never be forsaken.
