Taming the Tension: Psalm 77

How do we pray in uncertainty and crisis? COVID-19 has pushed our world into just that. We don't know how long this is going to last. We don't know the long term effects. Even though many people are recovering, what toll has this taken on their lungs and how susceptible will they be to future respiratory infections or complications? How will the economy rebound?

There are so many questions. How can we navigate the present crisis?

Psalm 77 is a prayer in time of crisis with many questions. The psalmist doesn't see anything in his present reality that provides comfort and direction. Where does he look for stability? He looks to the past - to what God HAS done for His people in history.
