'Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend'

Hopkins, we've all been through this discussion in our minds. We do everything right, and give nothing but our best; the bad guys always win. Hopkins raises the question, "why do sinners' ways prosper"? I have found myself wondering the same thing many times. I believe it is supposed to be tougher on us, because the closer we are to God and doing His work, the more Satan is going to try and tear you down to keep you from continuing. This just must have been a bad time for him, because Hopkins is desperately crying out to God. "O thou lord of life, send my roots rain". Me too, Hopkins.. Me too.

I commented on Sierra's.
