[:en]Thoughts from Psalm 13[:]

[:en]**Pain  – “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 everyday have sorrow in my heart?  How long will my enemy triumph over me?  (vs. 1-2)

**Prayer – “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” (vs. 3-4)

**Praise – “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” (vs. 5-6).

Have you asked the question of “How long” ?  Is there any delay in God’s answering to your prayers?  Time runs so fast when we are enjoying but lingers when we are suffering.  But God knows exactly when to respond to our call (1 Pet. 1:6-8).  And victory comes as we make the proper faith response.
Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Ps. 27:14)[:]
