Never Alone

I got this email from a great friend of mine in response to yesterdays writings on Psalm 88, I copied and pasted for you all to recieve.
"I have looked too at Psalm 88 and wondered at its darkness. I actually find Heman's honesty quite refreshing; he has the courage to lay bare his hurt, like unwinding bandages on an open wound and letting someone see. He doesn't try to cover it with an artificial optimism, things are just bad. This psalm appears a lonely one among so many that are sorrowful yet brightened by a flicker of hope. But it does bring one encouragement - God answered Heman's prayer. In the whole psalm he makes only one request ... and God granted it. Verse 2, "Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry." God did incline His ear. The proof of this is in the fact that we are reading his words! God not only heard his words, He wrote them down and preserved them in His book. I wonder at how Heman's life turned out, but I know one thing - he wasn't quite as alone as he felt".
I wished I'd thought of the verse 2 bit but there you go. The last statment of my friends email said it all to me. "We are never as alone as we think". I think I'll make it my new motto.
