A cry of despair

Psalm 88:1-18
1.My soul is full of trouble and my life draws near grave. I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength. Described my situation.
2. You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. Your wrath lies heavily upon me. You have taken from my close friends  and have made me repulsive to them. It was the Lord who permitted.
3. But I cry to you for help, O Lord; in the morning my prayer come before you why, O Lord, do you reject me and hide your face from me?  I still pray to the Lord with faith.
Psalmist sad for who are cut off from the Lord.
Psalmist cry out, pray to the Lord for help everyday.
A cry of despair. The prayer is the darkest of all the Psalms. Here is a man who feels life ebbing away and has no hope beyond death. There is not one to turn to but God.
Why?
Even no hope to turn but pray to the Lord, the Lord is the only hope for a faithful man. It looks silly but He is a reliable savior.
The Lord may save us from the deepest pit, but it may not, the authority is belong to the Lord. But the mercy and faithfulness of the Lord is forever.
The hope we can't see, but it is always come truth. It needs our experience in life. The Lord save every life by different way.
How?
No matter what happen the Lord is my savior,my God, I haven't strength or no way to go, He has the way. He is the way, the truth and the life.
