Psalm 13: For the director of music. A psalm of David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 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? Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and 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 the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
Lord, why are these thoughts assailing me? Why am I discouraged or doubtful? Hear me, God, and see my plight. You know all that concerns me. I have trusted You because You are my Advocate and You are in control of all things. I praise you today because You have looked after me and rid me of these anxious, negative thoughts.
