Psalm 109

Psalm 109:4

In return for my love they act as my accusers;
But I am in prayer.

In my Sunday School class, I've just finished co-teaching on 1 Peter.  One of the recurring things in that book is suffering, and how to deal with it.  It's somewhat of a foreign concept to most American Christians, since we don't really experience much in the way of suffering.

However, it will probably come, sooner or later, to some extent or another.  When that happens, this verse is a good reminder of what to do.  We should be giving love, regardless of the circumstance.  We should also be praying, because communicating with God is never a bad thing.
