Applying Psalm 10: Opening Cry

David Powlison suggests a little "homework" after providing his interpretation of Psalm 10. He offers a series of questions to help sufferers think through various aspects of the psalm. I won't include all of the questions here, but will give you one from each of the four sections.

In regards to verse 1 - "Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?" - consider the following:
The psalms are intended for use by groups of people, as well as by individuals. Who can pray with you? God does not intend you to fully resolve your struggles even in private with him. Join the people of God in a setting where your needs can be presented to God by others.
