My Life in the Psalms

I don't even need to blog...because David already did it for me in Psalm 13. This is why God included the Psalms in the bible. It helps us know we're not alone because followers of Jesus Christ in the past have felt the same way we do. I think this was the start of "journaling" as part of the Christian walk.

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for he has been good to me.



I don't need to say anymore. This is my life in a nutshell right now.

I found your blog today and have just finished reading every word. Your authenticity and heart are amazing. I appreciate how you are honest about your times of "God-silence"...shows that you are just like the rest of us.

You are going to make it through every painful struggle. You don't realize it at the time, but it's during those difficult times that you will end up experiencing the intimate characteristics of God. We all hate the process and we wish we could learn through more pleasant ways. But our incredible God knows that we would never really learn that way. Sucks, huh?
