Daily Bible Reading and Prayer, KJV, May 10-Nov 9, 2018, Acts to Hebrews

Aug 19, Ps 13

I am only doing a psalm today because I had another emotionally draining day and just want to sleep.

Psalm 13:1-6 KJV
[1] How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
[2] How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
I know that everything happens for good for those who love Him, but like the psalmist I wonder how long will this pain and heart ache last? How long will I be scared of bursting into tears every time I see one of my older brothers? How long will I have to see my mother cry?
[3] Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
[4] Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
[5] But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
Even though it can be difficult at times, like now, I will still trust in the Lord, he has a plan for me and my family.
[6] I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
The Lord has dealt bountifully with me an you. We might think our troubles and trials are horrible, but He never gives us more than we can bear and it is always possible to find someone in worse shape than you.

Dear Lord, You are wonderful and wise, and I will praise you when life is good and when it is not so good. Lord you know everything, you know what is true and what is not, You know everything that has happened with my brothers recently. Lord please bring them back to You. They have fallen into traps made by the Evil One. Please grant my parents comfort and peace even though they are in much pain from their children going astray. Please bless and keep everyone in my prayer journal, in Jesus's name, Amen
