A Psalm (Psalms of Jeff) 1

You seem to be far off in responding
to urgent prayers about certain subjects.
Though in many ways you feel close and speak to me,
on these matters it seems like there is a dead spot,
or you have turned away.

I am confused if I have done something
that has caused you anger,
some reason my prayers go unanswered.
Whatever it may be, reveal it to me
so I can hear your voice on this matter.

I don't want to admit it, but I am feeling resentful
that others prosper and I seem to be left with scraps.
Am I justified in feeling neglected?

If you won't answer me, then at least give me a sign
that you have heard me and what you want me to do.

I know your ways are beyond my understanding,
I know your timing is perfect.  I know you love me.
You have plans, I have fears; give me faith.
