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. Psalm 13
Do you sometimes think that God has forgotten you? Do you feel like God is hiding from you? A lot of people can wrestle with thoughts that consume them, and a lot of times these thoughts are from the enemy. The enemy tries to destroy our confidence in God in all of our circumstances. Whether we have a bad day at work, a problem at home, or a significant health issue, the enemy tries to blame God and tries to make you believe that God is the issue. The thing we need to remember is perfectly spelled out in this set of verses. To trust in God's unfailing love brings about joy and peace. It also defeats the enemy because God has already won the battle. When we go through things that consume us, remember to let God consume us more and push the enemy away. God is gracious and as this scripture says, he has been good to me.
Have a great weekend.
