On the contrary, it gives us more incentive to turn to Him. We need His comfort and peace in our hour of need.

Perhaps we need to look within ourselves. Find within the cause for our impatience and doubt. This, again, is a time for prayer and contemplation on the power and love of God. A need to remind ourselves of God’s compassion for us. A gentle call to see His fondness, to forgive our doubt and impatience.

If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness,
that You may be feared. (Psalm 130:3–4, ESV)

David, God’s chosen Psalmist, in his thirtieth prayer to our God. Admitted, without our Lord’s blessing and gift of forgiveness, all would fall before God Almighty.
