When God appears to be hiding His face, it is not necessarily His doing, but our misunderstanding. The Psalmist complains to God by using words that express doctrinal views. From his perspective, the problems are real. From God's perspective, the problem can be solved by direct infusion of life or by illumination. When God solves a problem, it is usually by constraining us.We are born into a world that opposes God. In order to understand the opposition, we must reflect on the axioms. God defines in the Psalms the character of evil, the philosophy of evil, and the angle of attack. Axioms were not only written to describe the problem intellectually, but were written to express opposition to the problem. It was written to grapple with the problem in the mind. "How long do I have to wrestle with my thoughts?"God gives us the strength to overcome whatever is opposing us, so that we can feel comfortable in our own skin. If we are wrestling with our thoughts, we are overcome by our opposition. When we are overcome, the pronouncements are not able to settle our thoughts. We experience sorrow. However, when we are wrestling with our thoughts, we are also wrestling in receiving illumination. The Psalmist describes God's care of constraining us as the Shepherd carrying us. We must become strong enough to feel that we are overcoming the opposition.The most discouraging thoughts when we are not at peace is that the people who do not have our best interest will be able to over power us and destroy us. However, since God made us to overcome opposition, we define the fear as being in the hands of our enemies. The Psalmist continues to confide in God, and does not use the word of fleeing to God for refuge.When someone is backed into a corner, they will speak their mind freely, without fear of repercussions. God always has a way of solving problems that we may not expect. We must always trust in His judgement.The Psalmist says that God always provides us with what we need when we struggle. He will never leave us without compensation for our efforts. He is always there to help us overcome our weaknesses.
