Psalm 111

1 Chapter: Psalm 111

1 Verse:
Verse 7. The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

1 Prayer: Father, I need a hand. I know even as I read it that I believe this is true. But all around me I think I only see falsehood and injustice. What good is it to me to know that Your precepts are sure, if I am so unsure about what exactly they are? I believe Your works are true and just, but that doesn't explain why they are what they are. If what You do is just, then I must be getting what I deserve. But I can't even tell if what I'm getting is a blessing or a curse, a reward or a punishment, or none of the above. It all looks so uncertain and suspect. How will I know the works of Your hands when I see them? Or is it all the work of Your hands? Are You really always at work, everywhere and in and through all things? How can You possibly be at work in this thing? Where is the truth and the justice in my circumstance? I'm sure they are there, but I'm unsure what they are. So I need You to help me. Please help.
