Psalm 13:1-6
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.
In his misery, it seems to the psalmist that God has forgotten him. How much longer must he bear it? Will only death bring an end to it? No! All his past experience assures him he will again have cause to thank God for his goodness.
Why?
How long? how long? shows the patient is almost gone, waiting time is hard to a trusted man. But it let us gain faith in the Lord.
In misery, the psalmist was felt sad and almost lost the trust, but in his experience, he trusts in the God and believes the Lord will save him.
Give light to my eyes, asked the Lord to open his eyes to look at the work of the Lord.
People are looking at the appearance of the world, but God has a better way and trained us to trust in Him and walking on his way.
How?
Pray to the Lord and trust in the Lord, for God is heard what we prayed. In his righteousness and love, God will not forsake us.
