Psalm 13

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 How long, 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 day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 and 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 the LORD’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

I didn't make it to this chapter over the weekend to post...

I have to say that there have been times in the past few years where I've wondered if God has forgotten me. Like when I've prayed for my children to live and be healthy and then they've died. It's hard not to let my mind wonder if He's forgotten me. But those moments are fleeting for me because like vs 5 says I trust in His unfailing love and know that my babies are in Heaven, free from the worries and trials of this earthly world. So no matter why they are there and not here I know they are safe in Jesus' arms. And even though I'm forever missing my babies- I do praise God because He has been very good to me. The best thing of all- He's constantly loved me no matter what. Even in the time of my life when I didn't praise him or give him much of my life- he never stopped loving me and that (along with Jesus dying for my sins) is the best thing He's every done for me.
