How long lord psalm

It actually lifts our hearts and teaches us to trust. Look at me! Answer me! My God. God deliberately established a personal relationship with his people. The psalmist fears death; his enemies are getting the upper hand; and if he stumbles they will rejoice. Regardless of the situation and how it appears, the psalmist has come to a decision. It refers to the profound goodness and faithful love tha t God shows and has always shown his people because they are his — because of their covenant relationship that makes them his beloved children and spouse.

He knows God is merciful, he knows God has saved and will save him again. God has blessed him and will bless again. A determination to trust has risen from within, from the place where before there was only anxiety. How long before you answer?! I turn to Psalms like this one. The more times you read it, the deeper it will reach into your soul. You might want to remember that these are not just the words of the psalmist, they are words of the Lord as well.

This psalm is so relevant now with the state that our country and our leadership is in. It was unexpected and left me reeling, though still praising and trusting God.

I love God and I trust that him allowing my son to go home was merciful, but nothing stops the ache of losing a child. How I wish I could come into a joyful season, but I know that God is right here with me. Thank you for these scriptures. In fact, I quoted that on my blog, as well, come to think of it. Love this post! I am taking baby steps towards learning to praise Him during the waiting period.

While I am not experiencing many of the trials that most of the ladies commenting are going through, I am in a season of expectation and waiting…on the Lord to bring me my one day husband! I am 33, and I have been through some tough realizations the past few years with men, and have taken this past year to really stay single and get closer to God! I am finding myself ready for that to begin. But…His timing. To keep following Him and letting Him guide me. He will grant the desires of my heart in ways that I could never imagine if I just keep waiting on Him.

It feels like my husband will never find a job. With each final interview that he goes on with these Fortune companies, we are hopeful and full of excitement. Then he is passed over. Especially this time of year when so much is required of us financially. I will praise the Lord for all we have, even if what money we have is dwindling.

This season of waiting is the hardest of our lives. I hope and pray our marriage and our family make it through this. Thank you! I so needed to be reminded of this today. I will praise God for He is faithful and His love is unending. I am where this Psalm is. I know God is there. I know He hears me. I am so tired and so weary. So tired of being sad. Of hoping only to see it vanish like mist. But, oh, it is so much harder than I thought it would be.

I have been putting in LONG hours of hard physical work that has not been as difficult as the emotional part of it and have not been in the Word other than verses here and there and reading short Psalms but not SOAPing or SOAKing because of exhaustion and circumstances.

Finally making time to read this post- what a blessing! Thank you for this post. My husband said some very cruel words last night and I cried myself to sleep asking God to take this pain away.

I have lived with an emotionally abusive spouse for so long. This morning, he apologized by text. I have to remember that it is in His time alone…not mine.

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Have you been there? Have you prayed and asked God — How long? How long will your trials last? How long until God answers your prayers? How long must you wrestle with your thoughts? How long must you suffer with sorrow? How long will those who dislike you, get to enjoy your sufferings from afar? We can feel those same feelings during a season of waiting on God. David goes from crying out to God — to singing in 6 short verses! He is rich in love and for all His goodness, we will keep on singing!

Stanza 3 says: And on that day when my strength is failing The end draws near and my time has come Still my soul will sing Your praise unending Ten thousand years and then forevermore Amen!
