Psalm 13
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.
Matt, now is the time of TRUST - when your eyes are so blurry from the tears, when your heart feels as though it cannot take one more jolt, this is the time of trust. Get a pen and paper and write down everything you have been blessed with in life...everything. God is gracious beyond measure, and in His mercy and faithfulness, you will know joy again, your heart with be filled with love, your smile will be as bright as a sunrise. Do not let the evil one have a foothold - do not waver - do not surrender. You have the God of the universe on your side. Even the psalmist went through times of despair and testing. Don't give up one battle before you win the war. Hold fast, Matt - God is with you. I continue to pray for you, in Jesus' name.
