Sunday pSalm

I thought the first Sunday of the year would be a good time to start adding a little spiritualness to my blog and since I'm a big fan of alliteration, a Psalm on Sunday was too (to?) good to pass up. I started flipping through the Psalms looking for one that was representative of the way I'm feeling this new year. This is what I found:

Psalm 13
A Psalm of David

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.

While the past eight months have been horrible and I have so many times cried out, "how long, Lord?" I am now ready to "rejoice" and "sing to the Lord." I am once again excited to find God's will for my life and see where He is leading me. I know there will still be times of deep sorrow but I will trust in God's unfailing love.
