Psalm 13

Last Friday I was telling some friends about unwanted thoughts that circle in my head. Isn't that annoying? I feel plagued sometimes. I thought outloud, "How long will this go on?" My devotional today was Psalm 13:2 and was precious to read this morning. Here's the entire Psalm. God is so good...

1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?


2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;

4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
