“How long, O LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen?”
(Habakkuk 1:2) 

This prophet is approaching You with a boldness that shocks me.

Who am I to talk to You like this?

My sins utterly disqualify me from demanding anything of You.  Besides, in countless ways You have treated me infinitely better than I deserve.

But I can’t hide my feelings from You.  You know how hurt and confused I am when I repeatedly cry out to You and get no answer.. 

Or maybe You did answer and told me, “No.”

Or, “Wait.”

But – God forgive me for talking like this –

Sometimes it feels like I’m only making excuses for You.

Forgive me for my lack of faith. 

Fill me with such an outrageous confidence in Your power to act that I dare to cry out with Your prophet:

O Jesus!  How long must I call for help, but You do not listen!
