what you need

In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. - Psalm 77:2 (RSV)

There is an implication here that our soul knows better than we do. You don't usually refuse something despite yourself.

Part of us wants comfort and relief and part of us wants God. But those two parts belong to us and must both be accommodated. They must come to terms with each other.

They actually work together to help us grow. Because our need for comfort and our need for God are ultimately the same thing, we just don't realize that at first.
