The View from Baltic Drive

This morning, I begged God to help me with my emotions in a painful decision I was making. I tried to call a friend, and no one was available. I knew that I needed to pray and seek God in his word. So I began to read the Psalms, and I got to Psalm 13. I began to pray Psalm 13 out loud to God. What a blessing for God to give me the words to pray!

Psalm 13
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.
