Psalms 77:3-9
When I remember God, then I am restless; When I sigh, then my spirit feels weak. SelahYou have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?Has His favor ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah

Psalms 22:1-3
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my help are the words of my groaning.My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.Yet You are holy, You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

Job 7:11-21
“ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me?If I say,‘ My couch will comfort me, My bed will ease my complaint,’Then You frighten me with dreams, And terrify me by visions,So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains.I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are only a breath.What is man that You exalt him, And that You are concerned about him,That You examine him every morning And put him to the test every moment?Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow my spittle?Have I sinned? What have I done to You, Watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?Why then do You not forgive my wrongdoing And take away my guilt? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will search for me, but I will no longer exist.”
