Prayer from Psalm 73: Keep the End in Mind

This entry is part 72 of 158 in the series Prayers from the Psalms

Lord, my preacher says “God is good, all of the time.”

But my life says, “God is good, some of the time.”

How else can I explain these good things happening to bad people?

How else can I make sense of the bad things happening to good people?

But then, in quietness, I regain perspective.

I remember how this Story concludes.

I recall where You road leads.

Eventually, both the bad things and the bad people end.

Eventually, both the good things and the good people endure.

And rising, I confess: “God is good, all the time.”
