How Long, O Lord?

Psalm 13:1-6

“How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide Your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O Lord my God, enlighten my eyes; lest I sleep the sleep of death; lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation, I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.”

   Though the way may look dim to your eyes, the truth is that God is always waiting for you. Though it may seem like perpetual night and starvation of the soul has no beginning or end, be assured that God is with you. If a day arrives in your life which brings only memories of pain, and death appears as beautiful as a shimmering diamond, you can have confidence in one promise that will stay true beyond the grave - The promise that God's hand will never let you go! You may not see Him and you may not hear Him, but He will never leave you. When all seems lost and victory is a distant memory, do not despair! God's attentive ear is waiting for your plea, your cry in the darkness. Let your heart be filled with hope and trust and your soul overflowing with the joys of God's salvation. Believe in Him in the darkest nights and in the most glorious days. God shall continually bless! In the days of blessing, He shall walk beside you every step of the way. In the days of testing and refinement, He shall carry you and give you His strength. His faithfulness endures forever! Do not let your soul be burdened, for God is with you every step of every day while you journey through this life in search of His kingdom. Draw near to Him, and He will lift you up!

 Matthew 11:28

 "Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
