Repressed issues

The author of Every Day Light has over the past three days been looking at psalm 73 and how many "good" Christians don't admit to themselves that they have a problem and go about busily promoting their good traits and others bad ones while deep issues within remain unresolved. The psalmist airs his problems openly and works through them. It struck a chord with me that it can be easier to avoid confronting an issue by concentrating on where you believe you are making progress but without admitting and dealing with matters, they just don't go away
