During church Sunday morning I started scanning through the Psalms as my mind drifted from the pastor's sermon. I landed on one, Psalm 13, and it really spoke to me. The voice in it could very well be my own at this point. Also, the psalm ends on a confident yet hopeful note that I one day hope to find again in God. I guess I just found a sort of solace in this chapter and thought I would share.
Psalm 13
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death and my enemy will say, "I have prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
